Harvey Weinstein is said to be lining up an all-star cast for the movie production of the Tony-winning musical "Nine." "I'm thinking Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renée Zellweger," Weinstein said of the six major female roles.

As for how he'll pay all the A-list actresses' salaries, Weinstein said, "We'll figure it out." He added, "There are roles for six women in the movie who have to be beautiful and sing and dance . . . it's a terrible assignment to cast this" - to which director Rob Marshall chimed in, "Thrilling!" For the male lead, Weinstein and Marshall are said to be considering George Clooney, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp.
