It's a rough year for movie titles containing numbers, particularly the number 9. There's "District 9" of course, and Shane Acker's upcoming animated stitchpunk fantasy "9." Then there's also "Nine," which is -- prepare yourself -- an adaptation of a book based on a musical based on an Italian play inspired by Federico Fellini's classic film, "8 1/2." Whew.

Daniel Day-Lewis stars as Guido Contini, an aging director who struggles to his work life with a series of romantic encounters, all while trying to kickstart his flagging creativity. Director Rob Marshall, who will next take on "Pirates of the Caribbean 4," previously did the award-winning screen adaptation of "Chicago," so he's got plenty of experience with musicals. In the exclusive image after the jump, check out Contini sampling the fruits of his midlife crisis. Read more...

I'll go on record as saying I wasn't a tremendous admirer of "Chicago" nor of the fact it somehow walked away with a Best Picture statue(?!?) BUT I'm pretty curious about Rob Marshall's "Nine." For one thing it's a pretty good musical (I saw it on Broadway a few years back when it starred Antonio Banderas) based on awesome source material (Fellini's "8½"). For another it stars a truly intriguing assortment of female thespians, from Nicole Kidman and Fergie to Kate Hudson and Judi Dench.

And most importantly it stars Daniel frickin' Day-Lewis. Sure he drank your milkshake but this time he's going to sing and dance. Now THAT should be interesting. Here's a first look.

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...

With all the projects she's rumored to be in over the next few years, we could use a clairvoyant to divine which Catherine Zeta-Jones roles will actually get made. Luckily, the 37-year-old Oscar winner has us covered.

"I play a psychic," she said of her role in the upcoming "Death Defying Acts," which pits her telepathic skills against the greatest magician of all-time. "Houdini was desperate to contact his mother from the other side and he never could. [So he became] obsessed with outing these psychics as fakes [which] happens to be me, a Scottish lass. It's the last few months of his life."
