Exclusive: Penelope Talks About Her New Film "Nine"

Wondering what Penelope Cruz has in the works next?

The Spanish actress has received endless critical praise for her role in "Vicky Christina Barcelona," including the most recent Goya Award for "Best Supporting Actress." Penelope may play psychotic lover, Maria Elena just like Woody Allen envisioned, but the bella brunette is switching scripts and working on a new musical, "Nine" directed by Rob Marshall. The film weaves together a play within a play, and follows the complex romantic endeavors of director Guido Contini. Cruz is set to play the mistress Carla in the film.

MTV News caught-up with Penelope to find out more about her new role:

We all sing and dance. Its very scary because with singing there is no where to hide. People see your good and bad. You feel vulnerable, but its been a beautiful experience. We have one more month to go.

Sounds like a must-see movie already. Let's hope she wins the Oscar's on February 22nd! Keeping our fingers crossed...[MTV News]
