Day-Lewis Bumps Bardem for Nine![]()
Working hard in front of the cameras and the expectations of award season is exhausting. Occasionally, it can be too much for some, like Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), who recently dropped off Nine. Others feed off the energy and take up the slack. Case in point -- Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) has taken Bardem's place in the musical based on Federico Fellini's superb 8 1/2, according to Variety.
Day-Lewis will play the role of a film director who has a creative crisis during the filming of his latest movie and wrestles with balancing the women in his life -- Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman and Judi Dench. The musical has been adapted from the stage by Michael Tolkin and Anthony Minghella rewrote the script before Tolkin died. Combining Day-Lewis with such high-caliber actresses in a musical based on Fellini has to be a success, right? At least that's what the Weinstein Co. is banking on as director Rob Marshall (Memoirs of a Geisha) takes the helm. |
