LONDON — Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis have braved the bitter cold in London to promote the world premiere of the Hollywood movie NINE.
The musical, inspired by Federico Fellini’s classic film 8 1/2, also stars Kate Hudson, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Marion Cotillard and singer Fergie.
Director Rob Marshall said at the premiere in Leicester Square that he “was overwhelmed by the turnout of women that came and auditioned for NINE. We saw so many great actors and I was blown away by that. I think Chicago might have opened the door, people thinking ‘maybe I can do that too’.” He said he was pleasantly surprised by the singing and dancing abilities of Day-Lewis and Hudson.
Hudson, wearing a full length white dress, described her experience working with this star-studded cast which also included singer Fergie and iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren; “It was incredible, it was an amazing experience. It was a learning experience. You got to watch people and see how everybody attacks it and we were all very supportive of each other because it’s all singing and dancing and things we hadn’t really done. It was really fun.”
Marshall said that NINE is dedicated to the late British film director Anthony Minghella, who he called a marvelous scriptwriter and an inspiration. NINE is out in cinemas nationwide on Christmas Day!
