Women in Trouble and Nine Images

A Post Full of Pretty

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (33)

I feel as though I have a lot to amend for this morning’s first post. I’m not going to live that one day for a few days, at least. It’s not like I came up with the concept. But man alive: Talk about Colonel Angus.

Anyway, here’s a small step toward, if not repentance, then at least erasing the images from your head. I’m sorry — there’s nothing here for the ladies (or at least the hard-core heterosexuals), but it’s the hand that the trade news Gods dealt me this morning.

First up, a few images and a clip from the forthcoming indie, Women in Trouble, which was circling the festival circuit earlier this year. No idea if it’s any good, but if you want to sell a movie based on sex appeal, you absolutely cannot do better than Connie Britton, Carla Gugino, and Adrianne Palicki. Gugino and Britton in the same goddamn movie? I absolutely abhor the term MILF, unless it involves Jack Donaghy and an island, but dear Lord, these ladies are lovely.

The cast also includes Emmanuelle Chriqui, Cameron Richardson, Josh Brolin, Simon Barker, Sarah Clarke, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Elizabeth Berkley and the movie, straightforwardly, is about women in trouble — and the women include a stripper, a couple of call girls, a flight attendant, etc. And apparently, boobs. Lots.

I only report what I hear.

Anyway, there’s still no trailer (though, it’s scheduled for release in November), but there are a few nice photos around, and below those, a short clip from the movie:

(H/T The Playlist)

And if that’s not enough to kick start your morning, here are some new images from Nine, the Rob Marshall musical about Federico Fellini. I don’t really care for musicals, but Rob Marshall musicals are different, and if you don’t believe me, check out the trailer and just pretend that Fergie and Kate Hudson are not a part of it.

Wow...a post with Carla Gugino, Adrianne Palicki, Connie Britton, Penelope Cruz, & Marion Cotillard.

Thank God for pretty women.

The second to last picture from Nine is GORGEOUS.

That conga line of pretty women in kneecap high boots looks a bit like a CENTIPEDE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Send in the clowns!
Anything but a centipede.

I've waited to see Carla Guigino and Connie Britton make-out since the days of Spin City and I have never been so close to living that dream as I am right now. Thank you, Rowles. You're doing the Lord's work.

Holy crap. I have only just now realized that Nine and 9 are two different movies.

I was really confused when people were talking about 9 as being a potential Oscar contender, but now I understand. I knew there was some new Rob Marshall movie with a lot of bombast, but I didn't realize the name.

"Talk about Colonel Angus."

Jeezum Sacksquatch, Rowles didn't you read the friggin' Suggestion Box Diversion? ENOUGH. WITH. THE. INSIDE. JOKES. You wanna keep lurkers lurking? Is this how you appease the goddam clique herd around here? Seriously, this site has gone downhill faster than the Hindenbe...

Oh...

HA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh fuck yes. I am going to have to sit at my desk for a while longer.

My pants seem to be tight in the groinal region.

It's probably just the pants, I was meaning to take them back to the, uh, pants store.

Emmanuelle Chriqui is a goddess. A GODDESS.

That is all.

Posted by: Snath at September 3, 2009 12:12 PM

Wait a minute...Connie Britton, Carla Gugino, and Emmanuelle Chriqui?

Hey Skitz, you got another one of those special fanny packs, with the front flap?

Posted by: Vermillion at September 3, 2009 12:14 PM

Carla Gugino? Penelope Cruz?

Delicious. Refreshing. Fantastic.

Kate Hudson? Fergie?

Meh, with a strong Centipede aftertaste.

Posted by: NJ at September 3, 2009 12:16 PM

I am so hard right now.

Posted by: chenry at September 3, 2009 12:25 PM

seriously, nothing for the girls after that fucking centipede? i figured we'd at least get some ry-ry reynolds or something! you suck.

Posted by: gem at September 3, 2009 12:25 PM

I couldn't really tell if the actor playing Fellini was Ralph Fiennes or Ciarán Hinds, until I realized it was actually Daniel Day-Lewis. I think.

It must be something in that British water that makes them all look alike.

Posted by: Neodiogenes at September 3, 2009 12:35 PM

Carla G. looks just AWFUL as a blonde.

Everyone else looks great, though.

Posted by: vikky at September 3, 2009 12:53 PM

Seriously, Rowles, you owe us some abs. Get to work.

Posted by: figgy at September 3, 2009 12:53 PM

I saw a preview screening of Nine a month ago now. You just need to pretend Fergie's not in it, since Kate Hudson does a surprisingly great job in the film. I did not anticipate her being able to sound that good with all the autotune and mixing in the world, especially since Fergie still sounds like a dying horse with a rat caught in its throat.

Posted by: Robert at September 3, 2009 12:55 PM

Marion Cotillard looks so beautiful in that picture that I can barely handle it. Holy genetic jackpot, Batman.

Posted by: Marcela at September 3, 2009 12:56 PM

Yeah, Rowles, this does nothing for me. How about some shirtless James Marsters to balance out that centipede thing?

Posted by: DeadBessie at September 3, 2009 1:10 PM

Those picutres are just so moving they are bringing me to org.. to tears. Anyone spare a tissue?

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at September 3, 2009 1:42 PM

Carla Gugino _and_ Connie Britton?

I'll be in my bunk.

PS. vikky--As Watchmen demonstrated, it is virtually impossible for Carla Gugino to look anything but hot.

Posted by: jthomas666 at September 3, 2009 2:12 PM

I'm still traumatized. If I have nightmares, I'm sending Skitz and Wendel (our own version of a nightmare creature) to your house Dustin. Naked. Deal with that image.

I'm excited about Nine, but I really can't understand what possessed whomever to cast Kate or Fergie. Hopefully, they play tragic women whose lives are cut short - about five minutes in.

Posted by: Cindy at September 3, 2009 2:20 PM

jthomas, she was a redhead in that movie. Poor example! Redheads are automatically hot.

I'm just saying that shade of blonde makes her look haggard. Yeah, I said it.

Posted by: vikky at September 3, 2009 2:23 PM

I loved how proud she sounded when she said, "It vibrates, and it squirts".

Posted by: EricD at September 3, 2009 2:33 PM

What, nothing for the ladies? After the horror of centipede, I think you owe us more than that.

Posted by: Eva at September 3, 2009 3:09 PM

Does this
help, DeadBessie?

Always happy to oblige.... ;-)

Posted by: Tarn at September 3, 2009 4:14 PM

Ooh points for Tarn!

Posted by: Anne (in Reno) at September 3, 2009 5:57 PM

With all the Carla Gugino love inspired by Women in Trouble, I will recommend Judas Kiss from earlier in her career. (With boobies!) It's a great modern Noir, with an outstanding cast that includes Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman.

I can't figure out why this one hasn't yet been reviewed as an "Underappreciated Gem".

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at September 3, 2009 6:54 PM

Nope, not working.

*scrolls up, scrolls down*

Nope, still not working.

*1:54 a.m., still wide awake, not enough Mr. Clean in a Kroger to scrub the centimage from my eyeballs*

*heads to Giant Eagle*

Is that Daniel Day Lewis? How come he gets no mention in the descrip? The man's a force of nature!

Posted by: Protoguy at September 4, 2009 5:56 AM

Bless you, Tarn. May your day be filled with puppies and rainbows.
