490317, Nine's a nearly 30-year-old Tony Award winning musical. Posted by Frank Longo, Mon Dec-07-09 05:54 AM
It doesn't have much to do with "right now." If I recall correctly, Anthony Minghella wrote the script adaptation, so this has been in development for a while.
And I think the musical stands well on its own. It's more of a loving homage to 8 1/2 than any sort of remake. But I haven't seen the film, so I can only comment on the theater side.
