"Exhausted"

Filed under: Film Flickers > Penelope Cruz

javier__opt1.jpg

Oscar winner Javier Bardem has dropped out of the Weinstein Company's movie musical Nine.

Bardem was supposed to play the lead role, Guido Contini — a film director who experiences personal and creative crisis trying to balance all the women in his life.

His reps say Bardem loved the script abut pulled out because he is exhausted from work and awards season and will take as long as a year to recharge his batteries.

Is he going to rehab????

Javier's girlfriend, Penelope Cruz, and screen legend Sophia Loren are still confirmed to star in the pic.

He must be real tired to walk away from working with these ladies!

Regardless, Javier won an Oscar. He should take as long as he needs to get back into the swing of things! Too bad his career may be cursed, like Gwyneth's, by next year!

    En serio?? Que triste! Javier is such a good actor…everyone in spain is crazy about him…he should get his rest after his win, but I wouldn't compare him to Gwenyth…she's a pansy.

    Hey Perez,
    This is a GREAT IDEA for Javier to back out…this is a remake of the classic Fellini film "8 1/2" and if you know anything about film history, its up their with Gone with the Wind, Godfather, Citzen Kane, etc as one of the greatest films ever. Why repaint a Picasso? It is smart for him to leave, and dumb for the Weinsteins to still wanting to do it. If Javier stayed it would have been just like what Gus Van Sandts Psycho did for his career in 98..yeah exactly..Viva Javier

    I really miss him the best. He is a great actor.
    He should stay away from Penelope Cruz. She would seek any famous actor or singer (including married ones…) just to stay in the spot light.

    He should be around people who really love him and not media whores who exploit him to stay in the game.

    Someone down here says everyone in spain loves him, don't kid yourself, he's a real son of a b. He's already said that in Cannes he will only answer to foreign press, not Spanish. He's a conceited, worthless and egotistical person. He could take the rest of his life out of the limelight for all I care.

    It's absurd that they are remaking "8 1/2." It's one of the greatest films of all time, why would they think they could do it better? It's probably good Javier is getting out of it, you don't mess with perfection.

    please. tell him to get a job doing actual manual labor. These people are ridiculous. tired b/c of an award season? these hollywood types need a dose of reality, and i'm not talking about what networks spoonfeed us as reality, but an honest days work with real worries, instead of what to wear and who to f*ck.

    Re: Madrileña – You are sooooo right, he has become a total diva,ALWAYS with that 'DON'T MESS WITH ME' expression in his ugly mug. He should be grateful that his work got recognized here in the States and drop the self-important airs , and his lesbian girlfriend,YES, "Pe" isn't helping, she is a well known C.U.N.T. Saludos desde Yanquilandia, Madrileña !!!!

    Javier has been doing a lot of great work in the last 18 months. The poor guy probably needs a break. Like you would know about hard work Perez, you can work from home, Lazy ASS.

    Marion Cotillard is in it to. Is there any news also on Nicole Kidman in it? This bums me out. I can't think of anyone who would be as good as a replacement.

    Javier is one of my favorite new actors. He's definitely in it for something beyond fame and fortune, which is more than I can say for alot of these hollywood douchebags!
    I'm glad he's taking a break to recharge his batteries, and I'll be sure to czech out his next movie.

  36. who else notices that aslee simpson has swerved to sound more like amy winehouse says – reply to this
    36

    asslee has totally decided to cash in on amys style and done a turnaround to
    sound more like amys style of singing,

    who else agrees!
    asslee is soooooooo hideous, she will never be an amy winehouse vocally at all.
    even her dress and stance on stage has changed to copy amy .

    Get Antonio Banderas - he was great in the revival of NINE a few years ago in NYC! Very sexy still!

    Re: tumadrelaputa – Just speak for yourself. There are many people in Spain that apreciatte and admire him, and respect his compromise with saharauies, which deserve more attention than the egotistic and self-concious spanish journalists that complains
