Can Rob Marshall, who previously directed the Oscar winning film, 'Chicago.' do it again and bring in the Best Picture of the year?

Coming out on Dec.18 is 'Nine,' which stars Academy Award winners Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Marion Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren, along with Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Kate Hudson and Grammy winner and Black Eyed Peas singer Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson.

'Nine' is a vibrant and provocative musical that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Cotillard), his mistress (Cruz), his film star muse (Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Hudson), the whore from his youth ("Fergie") and his mother (Loren).

The original 1982 Broadway production of 'Nine,' nominated for twelve Tony Awards and winning five, including Best Musical, was directed by Tommy Tune, choreographed by Thommie Walsh, starred Raúl Juliá with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book by Arthur Kopit. The 2003 Broadway revival of 'Nine' received eight Tony Award nominations and won two, including Best Revival of a Musical.

In one of several clips posted online, Fergie does an outstanding version of 'Be Italian.'
