Cruz had the most scenes with DL, and I read that she tried to make their love scenes less awkward by injecting some humor in between takes, but that DL stayed in character - the whole movie, for that matter. I think he's much too cerebral for this role. Javier should have done it (he bowed out), or Antonio Banderas. Just my 2 cents.<br />HighVoltageBlondHiVoltageBlndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040550787972131070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-86115923305262451462009-03-19T18:28:00.000-04:002009-03-19T18:28:00.000-04:00DDL sent tapes of his singing to Marshall and Wein...DDL sent tapes of his singing to Marshall and Weinstien and they were very impressed.

Aside from how somethings translate, there is the actual element of singing talent involved. Most people you see in these shows are trained singers. Hollywood tends to cast whomever it wants and hopes for the best where singing is concerned. We saw this with Sweeney Todd, another show I loved and was excited for but was completely let down by because Depp and Carter couldn't sing. <BR/><BR/>Will I see NINE? Absolutely.<BR/>Do I think it will be amazing and spectacular?

I've seen no proof yet that Marshall can be elegant.
