(AP Article, Scroll down for trailer) CANNES, France - Director Rob Marshall's new movie musical "Nine" offers a potent combination of Italian style, costumes to die for and six Academy Award-winning performers. The story of a filmmaker and his complicated entanglements with the women in his life, it's based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical that was itself inspired by Federico Fellini's "8 1/2." The cast includes Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Judi Dench and Sophia Loren -- Oscar winners all. "It was my dream to be in an American musical, and especially with a genius like Rob Marshall," Cotillard -- who won a best-actress Oscar for playing chanteuse Edith Piaf in "La Vie en Rose" -- said Monday at the Cannes Film Festival.
