The musical has been majorly popular at the movies in recent year and a whole host of Oscar winners and famous faces team up for Nine.

Nine is the musical re-telling of Federico Fellini’s semi-autobiographical “8 and a half”. It tells the story of Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis), a world famous film director as he confronts an epic mid-life crisis with both creative and personal problems.

He must balance the many women of his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren).

The movie sees Daniel Day Lewis return to the big screen for the first time since his Oscar winning turn in There Will Be Blood in 2008.

Take a look at some new images from the movie:

Despite the fact that I absolutely loathe them the musical has major power at the box office.

Whether that be the traditional musical where all the cast burst into song for no apparent reason or the music biographies such as Ray or Walk the Line they have all found major success.

And having seen this success more and more big names are jumping on the old musical bandwagon, and this can be seen with the new movie Nine.

The film stars and string of Oscar winners including Daniel Day Lewis, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson and eeerrr Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas.
