Yes, perhaps the most revered leading man working today who works nearly as infrequently as Joel Schumacher makes a watchable movie, is about to star in a film alongside the world's most famous songstress with questionable bladder control.
I'm still wrapping my head around Day-Lewis starring in a musical for Rob Marshall. I'm not a huge fan of "Chicago" and well, let's just say he's no P.T. Anderson (unfair I know, who is?). Then the long list of Day-Lewis' leading ladies began to emerge. For the uninitiated, "Nine" is a musical re-working of Fellini's legendary film, "8 1/2," and delves into the many loves of director Guido Contini. Read more...

Before you pick up that ginormous turkey leg this week, take a moment to think of the insane and delightful universe we live in where Judd Apatow interviews Daniel Day-Lewis in front of an audience.
A while back, I read that this L.A. event was set to take place last week after a screening of the much anticipated P.T. Anderson flick, "There Will Be Blood." Even the thought of it had me regretting my east coast address ever since.
So when I chatted up Seth Rogen about his amazing 2007, I decided to ask him about the event, and sure enough he was there the night before.
Said Rogen, "the Q&A with Judd was hilarious. Judd's first question was, 'Daniel, I know you're very private so I don’t want to ask about your personal life, but I have to ask...which did you like more: 'Knocked Up' or 'Superbad'?' And he clearly had never heard of either." Rogen joked, "he was busy mining for oil in real life."
As for the film itself, it's got Seth's vote. "The movie itself is absolutely mindblowing," he said. Rogen continued, "it kind of makes me want to quit acting to watch Daniel Day-Lewis act. He came out afterward and talked and there's literally zero similarity between him and the character. They don't sound the same or look the same or move the same. It could not be more different than how I operate. I literally wear the same shirts."
