NINE Soundtrack to Be Released Digitally December 15; Track List Revealed

The vibrant and provocative musical production NINE, premiered on Broadway in 1982 to critical acclaim (winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical), and successfully revived in 2003 (winning another two Tonys, including Best Revival), is the most hotly anticipated movie of the holiday season, directed by Rob Marshall, and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Fergie (Stacy Ferguson), and Sophia Loren. The Weinstein Company film - which will include new songs by original composer-lyricist Maury Yeston that were not in previous stage versions - will open in New York and Los Angeles on December 18th, and nationwide on Christmas Day.

Geffen Records will release the all-star original motion picture soundtrack cast album for NINE on December 15th in the digital marketplace, and on December 22nd in the physical marketplace. The Ron Fair Remix of "Cinema Italiano" sung by the Oscar-nominated Kate Hudson marks the actress' premiere as a recording artist. The song is one of Yeston's exclusive new compositions for the film. In support of the album, "Cinema Italiano" (The Ron Fair Remix) will be released as a digital single on December 8th and has been serviced to clubs, online and retail. The track, "Unusual Way," introducing new Geffen Records artist Griffith Frank, will be serviced as a focus track for various promotional tie-ins.
