Daniel Day-Lewis in Talks to Film a Musical

After Javier Bardem exited from the cast of the musical Nine, producers started looking for a replacement, and they found one. Daniel Day-Lewis is not in talks to replace Javier as the lead character, Guido Contini, a film director experiencing personal and creative crisis while trying to balance all the women in his life.

The leading ladies that will play opposite Daniel are Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, and Marion Cotillard. What a lineup!

The musical will be directed by Rob Marshall.

It’s so nice to see Hollywood filming more musicals.

Heath Ledger Honored at SAG Awards

Heath Ledger’s death on Tuesday has had a profound impact on many, especially his fellow actors. Outstanding Male Performance winner Daniel Day-Lewis dedicated his trophy to Heath, telling the crowd, "It’s always been the work of other actors… that’s given me that sense of regeneration. Heath Ledger gave it to me." He then went on to praise Heath’s work in Monster’s Ball as "unique," and Brokeback Mountain, saying, " He was perfect. That scene in the trailer in the end of the film is as moving as anything I think I’ve ever ever seen."

Nominee Ryan Gosling and his sister Mandy wore black ribbons in honor of Heath. "Mandy made them for Heath," Ryan said on the red carpet, adding later, "I admired him a lot."

In the evening’s official In Memorial video tribute, Heath’s image was the last one seen. As the clip’s soundtrack faded out, the audience applauded the 28-year-old actor who still had so many great roles in front of him.
