Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I don't know too much about Broadway musicals, so I don't know anything about NINE (not to be confused with Shane Acker's CG animated sci-fi movie 9 or John August's THE NINES) other than what is readily available at the stroke of my... keyboard...

But I do know that I liked CHICAGO a lot and MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA was pretty looking. It's interesting to see Rob Marshall return to the musical.

And looking up NINE, it seems like it'd be up my alley, since it's a take on Fellini's 8 1/2, an autobiographical story of a film director and the women in his life.

To be honest, I was never really taken with 8 1/2. It's one of those movies you see where you really know you should like it a lot more than you are because it's supposed to be so great. But then again, I saw it as a teenager, part of an Austin Film Society series. Maybe a revisit is in order, maybe I'll appreciate it more now.

The Weinstein Co. is putting NINE out and a screenwriter will be announced shortly.
