The new poster for Rob Marshall's Nine has just come online and the tagline informs us that this holiday season we should be Italian.  I'll be anything this movie wants me to be as long as I can get a full 27x40 poster of Penelope Cruz doing the same pose she's doing in this poster.  While co-stars Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, and Marion Cotillard are also on this poster, it's not hard to see why star Daniel Day-Lewis is looking straight in Cruz' direction.

Hit the jump to see the poster and a brief synopsis.  Nine opens in limited release on December 18th and goes wide Christmas Day. [UPDATE: Yahoo! has also debuted a poster which is quite good; you can see it after the jump as well]

Click over to Cinematical to see the poster (and damn sexy Cruz) in super high resolution.

For those just tuning in, here's a brief synopsis:

Having reached the age of forty, director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) is facing a midlife crisis that is stifling his creativity and leading him into a variety of complicated romantic involvements. As he struggles to complete his latest film, he is forced to balance the numerous formative women in his life, including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penélope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy Ferguson), and his mother (Sophia Loren).
