By Alexandra Heilbron on July 15, 2008 | 14 Comments

Kate Hudson is the latest star to be added to the cast of Nine, the latest musical to be produced by the Weinstein Company. The highly anticipated film is based on the hit Broadway musical of the same name, and tells the story of director Guido Contini (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) and his countless romantic affairs amidst a midlife crisis. Hudson will play a fashion journalist and one of the director’s mistresses. Co-stars include Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, and Marion Cotillard. Directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago), the film is set to begin production this fall with a 2009 release date.

   This is an interesting arrangement of actors, I for one would look into. I am a big fan of D.D.Lewis, the other co-stars certainly add interest and Rob Marshall directing…all sounds good to me

   Kate is pretty. The movie sounds lame.

   Where are the results of the newest Lohans paternity test?…it’s been about 2 weeks already! Of course, you only have to look at her picture to know that she IS Michael Lohan’s daughter…but, ‘looks like’ doesn’t hold up in court…so, bring on the results!

   It may sound lame, but the music in it is incredible and the story is better than it sounds.

   sticking to the subject Tammy, I reiterate I’ll defintely see the movie. I think I’ve seen just about all of Daniel Day-Lewis’s stuff, I think he’s a very accomplished actor.

   ….I know you won’t care Tammy, but for those who will seize the moment I meant “definitely”…

   It’s not that I don’t care…I just think that if they’re talking about Lindsay Lohan’s half sister or whatever they should go back to that story and talk it out…

   No, Tammy I meant you won’t care that I spelled something wrong! What a riot!
   But I do see what you’re getting at…

11. Nancy • July 17, 2008 @ 7:38 PM
