Movie Math: Does Nine Equal 8½?
Tue., Jul. 7, 2009 2:20 PM PDT by EOL Staff
Channeling Italian cinema master Federico Fellini's penchant for psychedelic fantasies, antic narcissism and eye-popping set pieces, director Rob Marshall (Chicago) seems to be pulling out all the stops. Daniel Day-Lewis plays Fellini Italian director Guido Contini, with a cast that includes Sophia Loren as Guido's hot momma, not to mention a bevvy of babes, including Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Judi Dench.
It definitely looks spectacular, dare we say Fellini-esque. But what do you think? Could Nine end up being as endearingly over the top as Fellini's classic 8½?
