Kate Hudson Joins Rob Marshall's 'Nine'
Filed under: Casting, Newsstand
This just in to Cinematical headquarters: The Weinstein Co. announced that Kate Hudson has joined Rob Marshall's adaptation of the famed musical, Nine. Hudson will co-star alongside Daniel Day-Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Penélope Cruz and Marion Cotillard -- and if that beautiful cast doesn't get asses in seats, I don't know what will. Day-Lewis will play director Guido Contini who, while preparing for his latest picture, has trouble balancing the many women in his life.Personally, I've been waiting for Hudson to take a little departure from starring in cheesy rom-coms for awhile now, though I'm sure some of you would be happy if she disappeared forever at this point. That said, I still remain a Hudson supporter (damn you Almost Famous!), and I know she's got some good stuff holed up in places we just haven't been fortunate to discover yet. What do you think? A step up for Hudson, or a step down?

A step up for Hudson... but a step down for Nine. Along with Punch-Drunk Love's Adam Sandler and Emily Watson, I never would think to pair Hudson and Day-Lewis together. The other women in Nine are timeless, transcending the typical Hollywood actress type to become true hybrids of artists and muses. Hudson, on the other hand, is the very definition of typical.
But she's not enough to deter me away from this movie...

She can sing. I heard her sing in a TMZ video last year as well as in that movie About Adam. She sings pretty well.

A step up. She's not going to be carrying the movie on her own and it puts her in prestigious company. Plus the camera loves her. What's not to like.
