Cool Rehearsal Footage Compilation from 'Nine'

The musical is enjoying a comeback right now, thanks in large measure to the success of Rob Marshall's Chicago, an Oscar winner back in 2003. It was his first film, following a career in the musical theater, so it shouldn't be surprising that this year's big musical - and a likely Oscar nominee for Best Picture - once again comes from Rob Marshall. Nine, as we've documented a few times, has the best cast of the year. That's pretty much all you can say. The film is based on the musical of the same name, which itself is drawn from Fellini's 8 1/2, and that alone would put it on the Oscar short list even if it didn't have the pedigree it does. In fact, In Contention has Nine penciled in for 11 nominations at this point; that should give musical haters plenty to shout about, although it surprises me that there are still so many of them out there. Here's a cool little video featuring some rehearsal footage from Nine. Damn hot: I hope we get to see a few more of these, although I'd rather stay in suspense when it comes to Daniel Day-Lewis singing. That's such an alien concept to me that I'd prefer to see it in the context of the film. Speaking of which, the opening date is December 18th, so we've still got a couple months of updates to go here.
