I've said it more than is probably necessary, but Rob Marshall's Nine remains one of my most highly anticipated films of Fall 2009 and it's just around the corner as that November 25 release date gets closer and closer. It's a Thanksgiving holiday weekend that has the potential to be extraordinarily stacked with quality cinema as Nine is accompanied by another Weinstein release with The Road, the new Warner Bros. actioner Ninja Assassin and the limited release of Disney's The Princess and the Frog. Yet, out of the bunch Nine remains my most anticipated and I have added eight new stills to the gallery for you to preview, all you need to do is click here to check 'em out.

Nine is a musical adaptation inspired by the Federico Fellini film 8 1/2 that follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren). The film is directed by Rob Marshall (Chicago). The original 1982 Broadway production of Nine, with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston, won five Tony Awards including Best Musical.
