TracyPENELOPE CRUZ MAY STAR IN NINE MUSICAL
August 22nd 2007 02:37
It seems like Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Javier Bardem may all star in the new upcoming Nine musical. As well as being a musical, Nine is also a book written by Arthur Kopit. The music and lyrics were written by Maury Yeston. It’s based on an Italian play by Mario Fratti and inspired by Federico Fellini's autobiographical film 8˝.
The musical concentrates upon the film director Guido Contini, who is celebrating his recent and biggest achievement as well as approaching his fortieth birthday. A midlife crisis is blocking his creativity and entangling him in a web of romantic difficulties in early-1960s Venice. Among the women in his life are wife Luisa, producer Liliane La Fleur, mistress Carla, protégé Claudia, and his deceased mother.
Rob Marshall, who wanted to set his cast early to custom-fit the roles according to the individual strengths of all performers, is also courting Sophia Loren and his Chicago star Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Michael Tolkin is adapting the script, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, the composer and lyricist of the original production.
So it seems we might be seeing a singing Penelope soon. That’s different.

I was at a cafe browsing at their tabloid magazines today and apparently she's trying to hook up with Bono?!
Probably all lies anyway.....I never like Ms Cruz until I saw Volver. She was fantastic in that.
Cool post Tracy!

I'm only a fan of Cruz when she acts in Spanish as she did in Volver, she was extraordinarily good in that film.
She's trying to hook up with Bono?!! I can't see that working....
Good to see you,
Tracy
