Penélope Cruz stars as Carla Albanese in Rob Marshall's NINE.
Kidman, Cruz, Dench, Cotillard, Hudson, Fergie, Loren… I only count seven. What about Daniel Day Lewis, does he — oh, it’s based on a musical — that’s based on Fellini’s 8½? Thanks, I think I’ve got it now. Wait — why’d they round up?
Let’s face it, the main reason audiences will be interested in Nine is the phenomenal cast and a return to the musical genre for Chicago director Rob Marshall. With that much diva in a concentrated location, one has to wonder just how peachy-keen everything was on set. Luckily, we’ve got a look at what’s going on behind the scenes: Kate Hudson practices her 60s inspired dance moves! Penelope Cruz straddles silk! Fergie straddles a chair! Judi Dench straddles wears a barbershop quartet hat! Check it all out below.

NINE is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren).
