Unlike, well, everyone in the world, I didn’t think Katie Holmes did such a bad job in Batman Begins. I was discouraged to see that she wasn’t going to reprise her role in The Dark Knight, since the revolving door of girl friends was one of the (many) things wrong in the first set of movies. Plus Holmes is married to a real psycho, so she needs our support now more than ever. Therefore, I am supporting her desire to get a role in Nine, Rob Marshall’s adaptation of the Tony award-winning musical.

According the gossip rag Page Six, Holmes auditioned for Marshall last week. She wasn’t alone, former relevant actress Demi Moore also tried out. The Page Six people also claim that Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones who were in Marshall’s overrated Chicago are also being talked about.

Nine is based on Federico Fellini’s 8 ½ about a film director who faces his 40th birthday and a mid-life crisis. He has to deal with many women in his life including his wife, mistress, producer, protégé, and dead mother. I guess there is enough room for all the rumored stars. As we noted back in April, the movie is a reunion of many of the Chicago team, led by director Marshall.
