Trailer For 'Nine' Debuts ... Awards Set To Follow

"Nine" is one of those movies that you just know will make a splash when the Oscar nominations are announced.

Here is the official description of the movie (and take a look the stars -- there is a lot of Oscar-bait in there):

“NINE” is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in 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 (Stacy Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren). The film is directed by Rob Marshall (CHICAGO). The original 1982 Broadway production of “NINE,” with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.

And the trailer that was released today only further enhances the idea that this is a movie destined for a date with destiny come Academy Award time.

For big-time movie fans, the trailer is like a homage to who's who of the all-time great film-makers. This definitely looks like a movie to keep an eye on.

"Nine" is due to be released Nov. 25, 2009.
