Loren Is Scared Of Day-Lewis

22 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Screen legend Sophia Loren felt uncomfortable working with Daniel Day-Lewis on movie musical Nine - because the actor is "scary" and "intimidating".

The actress appears alongside a stellar line-up including Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Dame Judi Dench in the upcoming film.

But it was Day-Lewis who made Loren nervous - because she felt overshadowed by his acting ability.

She says, "Daniel is incredible. He is hypnotic, magical, beautiful and brilliant; but he is also very scary. Every time I did a scene with him he was so deep and so real that it was almost intimidating." »

Aziz Ansari talks about his Comedy Central stand-up special and a strip club outing for the 'Parks and Recreation' gang

6 November 2009 12:04 PM, PST | EW - Hollywood Insider.com | See recent EW.com - Hollywood Insider news »

Aziz Ansari has filmed a Comedy Central stand-up special, “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening,” that will air on the cable network on Jan. 17, two days before the gig is released in DVD and CD form. “To have an hour special is really cool,” the 26-year-old Parks and Recreation star tells EW.com. “It’s bigger than the time I filled up my Quiznos Q Rewards Card, but smaller than the time I filled up four Quiznos Q Rewards Cards.” The special, which was recorded this summer at the Brentwood Theater in Los Angeles, includes material from his “Glow in »

Daniel Day-Lewis leaves the ladies swooning in 'Nine' (IrishCentral)

4 November 2009 9:02 AM, PST | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »

Daniel Day-Lewis looks like he’s enjoying his leading male role in the upcoming film “Nine,” and what red-blooded male could blame him? The double Oscar winner is surrounded by fellow Academy honorees Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard in this still from the hotly anticipated new musical "Nine," based on the Broadway show of the same name that scooped five Tony Awards back in 1982. Ddl, the only male star in the film, portrays a world famous film director in the 60s who has a professional and personal midlife crisis as he approaches his 40th birthday. And he’s surrounded by a phalanx of women, including a wife, mistress, muse, confidant and other assorted hangers-on. The film is directed by Rob Marshall, who helmed the film version of the musical “Chicago” a few years back. You’ll remember that “Chicago” was an Oscar darling, winning a Best Picture Oscar among other nods, »

Screen Queens: Another Country

1 November 2009 7:30 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Hey, MattCanada here with this weeks queer cinema post. I finally got around to watching Another Country. It was not what I expected at all and this did affect how much I liked the film. My expectations going into the movie were of a spy thriller with a hefty dose of gay sex, not PG fondling. What I was confronted with was a drama which explores the British class system through the study of Guy Bennett's (fictionalised Guy Burgess) disenfranchisement from his class because of his homosexuality at an unnamed Boys Public School (read: super posh). The film is beautifully shot, wonderfully acted, and intelligently written - a Merchant Ivory film in everything but name.

The lead actors are all strong, especially Rupert Everett's flamboyant toff Guy Bennett. Everett does not overplay him which is a »

Fergie performed songs from her 2006 solo album, The Duchess, at the Avon Foundation for Women Awards Gala in New York City on Tuesday night, but she doesn't have plans to work on new solo music anytime soon. She's still riding high on the success of the Black Eyed Peas latest release, The E.N.D., and the group's touring schedule is keeping her busy these days.

She wasn't too busy, however, to attend the gala to show her support for women who are fighting breast cancer and to help end domestic violence. "I'm performing my own songs, not Peas songs, 'cause I don't have the boys with me today," she told MTV News on the red carpet about »

[DVD Review] My Fair Lady

27 October 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

The ever-loverly Audrey Hepburn is back as Eliza Doolittle in the latest release of My Fair Lady on DVD. I wasn't sure why — it had to have been put out on DVD at least once before. In fact, it was released by Warner Bros. in 1998 and then again as a "Two-Disc Special Edition" in 2004. Paramount obtained the rights last year and put out a new edition earlier this month, complete with its own set of special features.

My Fair Lady, the musical adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, follows Ms. Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent which, due to the time period and setting, puts her at a strong social and vocational disadvantage. Looking to better her situation, she approaches Professor Henry Higgins (Rex Harrison), a phonetics expert, about speech lessons. Higgins, intrigued, bets his friend Colonel Pickering (Wilfrid Hyde-White) that he can pass »

An Oscar for Rockwell!

22 October 2009 6:39 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

   Even if you haven't seen Duncan Jones' highly praised Moon (yet...I know you will eventually) everybody and their sister agree on the fact that Sam Rockwell can really bring it. But will Sony bring the Academy Awards to him? The film wasn't a huge blockbuster, wasn't about the Holocaust, and Rockwell spells differently than Daniel Day Lewis, so who's gonna push for him to at least be nominated? Director Jones has taken upon himself to campaign any which possible way... »

Behind the Scenes of Rob Marshall’s ‘Nine’

22 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

As you may know, this Rob Marshall directed film is loosely based on Fellini’s 8 1/2. It tells the musical story of film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) who’s facing a mid-life crisis. As he struggles to complete his latest film he examines his career, his life and the relationships with the various women in it.

If the quality of a film can be judged by the quality of its behind the scenes featurette, then I can safely say that Rob Marshall’s Nine is going to be one heck of a film.  I’ve also included some new pics from the film as well which further illustrate just how great this movie is going to look.

Put all that together with the stellar cast and Marshall’s unquestioned ability to execute terrific musicals and Nine looks to have all the making of a hit. Be sure to check out »

'Nine' gets a 10 for debuting new footage in a scandalously sexy way

22 October 2009 2:40 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

There is a lot of scuttlebutt going on about Rob Marshall's "Nine." Some positive, some negative, but much of it is tied to the seemingly never ending soap opera of the Weinsteins and their publicly noted financial troubles.  And yet, so far, the ultra-experienced Harvey has been smooth and steady as the movie musical's Oscar campaign heats up. One of the main reasons the film became an immediate Oscar contender when it was announced in 2008 (i.e., "Oscar bait") is because the cast includes a laundry list of past winners and nominees including Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard,... »

Rehearsal Montage for Nine

20 October 2009 7:25 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

In Nine, Daniel Day-Lewis plays the luckiest man in the world, Guido Contini, with Marion Cotillard playing his wife, Penelope Cruz as his mistress, Stacy Ferguson as the whore from his youth, Nicole Kidman as his prized film star, and Judi Dench as his…well, his costume designer…and let’s hope it stays that way. Yahoo Movies has a rehearsal montage of Nine, and it’s kind of artful in its own way, as a deconstructed behind the scenes look at the film; it feels choreographed, even if we’re just seeing the skeleton of the thing. The only shots of the finished product are in comparison to the rehearsals, so it has a neat before and after effect. You can watch the entire video below. »

Nine Rehearsal Footage

20 October 2009 4:23 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Yahoo / The Weinstein Company have debuted a great little behind the scenes look at Rob Marshall’s ‘Nine’. The footage shows Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman and Sophia Loren prepare for their song-and-dance numbers. I’ve embedded it below or head over to Yahoo to view in HD.

This movie does look like it’s going to be a real show both in it’s artistic content and in the fact it’s a movie based on the stage. Rob Marshall (Chicago) directs and although I’m not usually a big fan of musicals like this one, it does look excellent.

Check it out at a cinema near you on Christmas Day.

Those fine folks over at Yahoo! Movies have just posted a really rather lovely new video exposing the hard work that went into making Rob Marshall's Nine.

There's not much in the way of dialogue but the new rehearsal montage from the Chicago helmer's upcoming musical shows the none-more-starry cast (including the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson and The Black Eyed Peas' Fergie) limbering up for what is sure to be a spectacular show.

Take a look at the clip below and let us know what you think in the comments section...

New Nine Rehearsal Montage

20 October 2009 1:15 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

A strange beast, this: not quite a trailer, not quite a behind-the-scenes doc. They're calling this sequence of clips from Nine a rehearsal montage, but what it really is is a) cool and b) proof that Penelope Cruz is very, very bendy. Check out the Nine montage over at Yahoo.The film is a musical based on Fellini's 8 1/2, starring every Oscar winner and nominee ever. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as an Italian film director called Guido, facing a midlife crisis that gets him reflecting on his relationships with his wife (Marion Cotillard), mistress (Cruz), confidante (Judi Dench), muse (Nicole Kidman), mother (Sophia Loren), a whore he met in his youth (Stacey "Fergie" Ferguson) and a journalist who comes to interview him (Kate Hudson).Nine is out on Christmas Day here, and we'll be spending most of the intervening period wondering why we don't get outfits like Hudson's when we go to do interviews. »
