News: Daniel Day-Lewis to Replace Bardem on “Nine”

It seems Fellini adaptations attract the best actors in the world.

Best Supporting Actor Javier Bardem was originally slated to star in Nine, a musical adaptation of Fellini’s 8 1/2, but he had to drop out, citing exhaustion. Now it comes up that Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis may step up to take his place as a famous film director juggling the women in his life. Considering the film is already slated to star Best Actress Marion Cotillard, along with Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench, as well as being directed by Rob Marshall of Chicago fame, the pedigree for this film is astounding.

Watch some trailers for Daniel Day-Lewis’ incredible body of work:
