Flash News - Italian screen icon Sophia Loren is soon to make an American film musical inspired by a 1963 Federico Fellini movie.
The 73-year-old actress told Italian daily Il Messaggero that the filming of Rob Marshall's Nine would begin in New York in the spring.
"It's the sort of challenge that makes my knees tremble," she said.
Nine is based on Fellini's film 8 1/2, which starred Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni and was made into a successful Broadway musical.
Loren did not say what her role would be or whether she would sing.
