we're out of time, so good night. before we get into our discussion with this talented bunch, let's take a look at the film everyone is talking about. here is a segment from "nine." ♪ ♪ >> larry: i was fortunate enough to see "nine" last week. at its l.a. premiere. my quote is -- "'nine' is a ten." its director is rob marshall. how did you assemble this cast? >> oh, gosh. i guess piece by piece.
9:03 pm
i never would have imagined we would have this cast. this is a dream cast for me. every single one of them. it was joyous to work with them every day. >> larry: who was the hardest to get? >> oh, gosh. the man in the middle. >> larry: did you resist it, daniel? >> you can't resist him. he is irresistible. >> larry: did you like this from the get-go? >> i did, yes. but it just wasn't -- at the time, it was -- when he found me, we had just finished making -- my wife had just finished making a film in the states. it wasn't a good moment for me to transplant everyone somewhere else. >> larry: so why did you succumb? >> him. and these lovely ladies. >> larry: and the script. let's go around. kate, how did they get you? >> i auditioned for rob. i went in and i sang first. and then it was kind of old school. i went and sang, and then i got a call back.
9:04 pm
and i danced and then i got another call back. and i sang and i danced and i got another call back. it was a process. >> larry: did you think you would get it? >> you know, to be honest, i just wanted to sing and dance for rob, you know. of course, i hoped that i would be able to be part of such an incredible film. but i was more just trying to -- >> larry: you got it. >> yeah. >> larry: fergie, how did they get you? >> i auditioned as well. everyone else had been cast. >> larry: last one? >> yeah. i was the last one. i wanted it so badly and i came in and i did my makeup. i contoured my nose. i this had this bump on my nose and tried to make everything look bigger. >> larry: everything? >> everything, larry. and, yeah. and a few weeks went by and i was hoping, hoping. every day i would think about it. i basically gave up on it. i let it go. i thought, well, i would have
9:05 pm
heard by now, i guess i didn't get it. about a week later i got a call from harvey, and i screamed. >> larry: harvey weinstein. >> yes, yes. >> larry: nicole, you, how did they get you for "nine"? >> actually, rob told me -- i think we had lunch or coffee or something. and he said that anthony magilla had written the role for me. >> larry: he wrote it for you? >> yeah. >> larry: so you had to do it because he wrote it for you. >> i had to because i wanted to work with rob and anthony was one of my dearest friends. so yeah. >> larry: marion, how did they get you? >> well, i auditioned, too. >> larry: you had to audition? >> first audition was singing. >> for judi's role. >> yeah. it was for judi's role actually. i sang claudia's song. >> exactly. we cast -- we were casting before we started writing so we weren't sure exactly who was going to play what. >> lilli is french.
9:06 pm
>> lili sings a french song. so we thought maybe that. we weren't sure. >> larry: the star had to audition? >> i didn't know she could really sing or dance. >> it was before. >> larry: wait a minute. kate auditioned. >> they wouldn't have, but i didn't know if they could sing or dance. nicole did not because i knew her work as a singer. judi i didn't addition either. >> larry: penelope, how did you come to "nine"? >> i auditioned for three different parts. my first meeting with rob was 2 1/2 years ago. >> yes. >> and i just knew i wanted to be part in part of this movie. i said to him i don't care which character. just have me on the set, cleaning the floors, to learn, because i admire him so much. and then he called me one day and said, i decided i want you to be carla. >> larry: judi, do you have to
9:07 pm
say dame? >> no. you don't have to say dame. it is a bone of contention between nicole and i, because i was just asked to have a coffee. but, you see, same magic. how can you resist him? >> larry: glad you did it? >> oh, you bet. i'm just resentful if i'm no all the other dances. >> larry: sophia in geneva, how did you get to do "nine"? how did you come to do the part? >> well, i got a phone call from rob marshall. one phone call and i said yes right away. it is very short, my story. but, no, no, no. there is also another reason. is that the film was involved of course the life of fellini. many times, of course, before he died i was very, very close to
9:08 pm
do a film with him. but as it happens in films, it never happened. so i was very happy to be involved in the life of fellini and beside the phone call from rob, which i adore, it's because i was very moved to be closer to my dearest friend fellini, which i think is the best -- he was the best director in town in the world, you know. yeah. >> larry: great story. we are just getting started with the cast of "nine." much more with our "nine" guests after the break.
9:09 pm
9:10 pm
9:11 pm
i'm sorry if i've given you a shock. >> if you can't change it, leave it. >> he's the only man i ever killed for a memory. >> what are you going to do about it? >> i thank god he's dead. >> comes to the showdown. >> don't mind him. he used to be an irishman. >> larry: that was daniel day-lewis before he became guido in "nine."
9:12 pm
we'll be showing you some of the star turns from each of our guests during the hour. did you know you could sing? >> i certainly didn't. i don't think he did either. he managed to convince me he knew that. but i think i insisted on at least trying to sing. >> yes. i think you were one to audition yourself. >> it was hopeless, larry, and he still managed -- >> no. it was beautiful. >> larry: what was it like as a distinguished actor, many consider you the best actor in the world today. what was it like to sing? >> i don't -- i think maybe we all secretly hope we have a voice in us that one day somebody will help us to discover. it always looks when, you know, when you see somebody expressing themselves through music, it looks as though it must be so satisfying. >> larry: was it? >> yes. with all the frustrations you go through beforehand, but very,
9:13 pm
very -- >> larry: fergie, how good was he? >> he did a great job. he was spectacular. in fact, he was the first person that i met on set, you know, flying, and just being really intimidated walking onto the set and the first person i see is daniel. i thought, great. rob, 15 minutes later pulls me over to the piano and says "why don't you just sing along?" we'll do a piano version right here. daniel is sitting right there in the corner. i'm going, okay. those fears had to go out the window really quick. they did. everyone here is very down to earth. i find the more people who are very successful and talented at what they do tend to be the nicest, because they're not trying to prove anything to you. it made it very comfortable. >> larry: were you at all, rob, intimidated by daniel day? >> i was thrilled. i was thrilled to work with the greatest actor in the world. >> i agree. >> every day for me was thrilling. imagine the call sheet, larry.
9:14 pm
daniel day-lewis in a scene with judi dench and nicole kidman and penelope cruz. i mean, i was -- >> larry: were you able to say to these stars, no, let's do it that way? >> yes. >> well, i think of it as a collaboration in a way. i never feel like i'm instructing them to do certain things. i feel like it's something we're creating together. these are the best in the world because they work so hard. it's not because there's some magic thing that happens. it's because of the work ethic. >> larry: was it nervous for you, kate? >> i was thrilled. i was -- you know, i was nervous when i heard the song for the first time, because it's a very challenging song. and i got intimidated by the actual song that they wrote. but the thing about rob is that he provides this amazing, you
9:15 pm
know, sort of safety net around you so you -- it helps you build your confidence that i think in order to be able to perform those things when it is not your everyday, you know -- >> larry: it's not? >> no. >> larry: marion, this is a very different kind of musical. did you enjoy doing it? >> it was my dream to do a musical, an american musical. to have the opportunity to do one with rob was magical, really. and i more than enjoyed working with all these amazing gifted people. >> larry: you're not bad yourself. >> sorry? >> larry: you're not bad yourself. >> yeah. well, thank you. and rob's team, john deluca and all the dancers and paul begave. our singing guide.

9:18 pm
>> what? >> larry: you like doing love scenes? >> no. >> larry: no? >> it's always a very strange thing. i mean, we had the best director and i was in the best possible company, but it's always something strange, right? daniel? >> we had a laugh. >> we laugh a lot together because you have to bring humor to those situations. >> larry: with a cast this big there had to be behind-the-scenes drama. was there? we'll ask after the break.
9:19 pm
9:20 pm
9:21 pm
>> perhaps we might take a walk. >> larry: nicole, is a musical harder to do? >> no. no. i don't think so. >> larry: even though you kind of lip sync over it? >> yeah. except as an actress that is what you want to do. you want to do it all. you want to have a chance to sing and dance and act. that's what they used to do, so it's nice to have the chance now. >> larry: you had the chance in "moulin rouge." >> i did. >> larry: let's take a look at
9:22 pm
nicole and daniel in action. she plays guido's muse. see why she's so important to him in "nine." >> muses the incredible women in italy, makes it what it is today. a country run by men, who themselves are run by women, whether they know it or not. >> so i am the women behind the great men? >> the great women. in a way, yes. >> the muses, they fall in love with the man? >> exactly. they fall in love with them. >> i'd rather be the man. >> what? >> i'd rather be the man. >> larry: what's it like to work with this cast? >> wonderful. i mean, it was one of these things -- >> larry: you are all stars. was there a diva issue or are you all workers? >> i think when you get to -- as
9:23 pm
fergie said when you get a place in your career everyone is there because they are hard workers. wouldn't you agree with that? >> yes. >> we love what we do and the craft of it. >> larry: do you like musical, judi? >> yes, i love them. i loved being in a musical on stage when an orchestra starts and you suddenly hear all that music, and it's like a huge, you know, support to you. so you have to get on schedule and do your built. >> larry: sophia, have you seen the finished product? >> no. i've not seen the film because i have in mind to see the film with my children. i want to enjoy the whole film with my children because this film is very important to me because being italian, i've always wanted to be in a musical and now that i have this chance, even though my role is camille, but i think it's a good start.
9:24 pm
and i think while the shooting, i enjoyed really every moment of it, so i want to see it finished and i want to see it with my family. >> larry: you will love it. what was she like to direct, rob? >> oh, my god. i mean, that's almost impossible to explain for me. there was a sequence i remember very clearly shooting in rome with daniel and sophia in a little italian sports car and everything is set in the '60s. so there was sophia in a '60s italian sports car. i thought i died and gone to heaven. i couldn't quite believe i was there. this kid from pittsburgh is there directing this iconic major actor and daniel, i mean, i couldn't believe it. >> larry: what was it like for you, daniel, to work with one of the grand dames? >> i shall treasure it forever. every single moment i spent with that wonderful woman i will treasure it. yes.
9:25 pm
because we were going around in circles pretty much all day long. and a huge crowd had turned out to see sophia. she turned to me at one point and said, you know, all these people, every time we go around, they think the reason we're doing it again and again, is because we're so stupid that we just can't get it right. [ speaking italian ] >> larry: do you ever get used, penelope, to doing it again and again? let's do another take? let's do another take? >> i always get thrown out of the set asking for too many takes. >> larry: you like takes? >> i have a problem with that. i cannot let go. i cannot say, okay, we can now stop and move to the next thing. >> we had to call security. >> i drive everybody crazy. because i can't control myself. i always want to do one more. >> larry: penelope's sexy rope dance. she suffered for her art. we'll talk about if ahead.

9:29 pm
i really tried to stay in the present time all this -- sorry. >> larry: when you're sitting there in that theater -- >> all the way long. >> larry: opening the envelope? >> no. it was two or three months of amazing adventure, amazing meetings with people i admire so much and the way in america you share movies with actors. we don't do that in france. and then you have to talk about your work with people who know what you are talking about. it was -- it was so amazing that i really wanted to keep it out of the fantasy, out of thinking, oh, if this happens, if that happens. so i really am being nominated with cate blanchett was something huge for me.
9:30 pm
so i really wanted to enjoy the present time, and to enjoy it, you don't have to think about what could happen. >> larry: well said. penelope, that dance that we showed. >> mm-hmm. >> larry: what was that like to do? >> it was amazing. amazing to learn it from them and to be able to train for three months. i had until i showed it. and to see how every day you can get a little farther and the feeling of freedom you get when you get to do the entire number without stopping. it's been a great experience for me. >> larry: you think that's the biggest turn-on moment of the movie, rob? >> oh, gosh. i think all these -- i think penelope is -- >> larry: there are many sexy scenes, but that's -- >> that's a particularly sexy scene. but all these ladies have their moments of beauty and sex in this film, i have to say, every single one of them.

9:39 pm
the song is so big and, you know, performing when you have dance moves is projecting, being extroverted. but on the reality side of the film it was so much fun to go inside and be still and keep it about the thoughts, what i'm seeing and about the reality of the situation with guido and her relationship with him and how that all works and how that started, that spark in his brain of that naughty, naughty -- all those naughty thoughts that guido has. looking at daniel day-lewis, i have to basically look at him as a child. that was kind of weird for me. i kind of just let him do his thing and stayed away. it's awkward looking at the natives, that guy, as an 8-year-old. >> larry: daniel, did you like guido? >> i don't think i -- i didn't like or dislike him.

this person is not daniel. this person who you're doing the scene is standing in front of you. it is an all-embracing thing. daniel's way of working doesn't exclude you. it includes you. >> larry: how good a hamlet was he? >> oh, he was wonderful. >> larry: that is the hardest role in theater, isn't it? >> i don't think you can get harder than that. >> i sent her a note when we started "nine" saying i promise not to run out on you this time. >> larry: we will be back and check in with sophia. back with the cast of "nine" in 60 seconds. here's a look at penelope cruz and some of her acclaimed performances. we've got a lot of them. >> open your eyes. you're in trouble. they said i was a genius, right? ♪
