Katie Holmes is desperate to land a role in the film version of musical 'Nine'.
The 28-year-old actress reportedly auditioned for the movie's director Rob Marshall on Tuesday (26.06.07) by performing a song and dance routine in his office.
Demi Moore is also said to have auditioned, while Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are also being linked to the project -about a film director who is heading towards a nervous breakdown.
Marshall has directed both Renée and Catherine before in the Oscar-winning 'Chicago'.
Katie is not known for her singing talents, and has previously struggled to stay in tune when performing the song 'On My Own' from long-running hit musical 'Les Miserables' for an episode of 'Dawson's Creek'.
Marshall has previously said: "'Nine' needs to be created specifically for the talent involved, to suit their strengths.
"Casting will be a big issue here, and if commitments complicate things, it will be 2009 before it gets going."
'Nine' has previously enjoyed success on Broadway, with the most recent production in 2003 featuring Hollywood star Antonio Banderas.

Seems like Kate Cruise/Katie Holmes thinks that being married to Tom cruise means she can have any role that catches her fancy. Why go for a musical when she can't sing? Has she had any dance training at all?? Wasn't the film she just got done filming the one to bring back her career? Seems like that's Katie's mantra-whatever film she's trying for-she's got to have the role because that's the one that's going to reboot her career. This begs the question-what career. She made a few inconsequential films since Dawson's Creek.She now thinks with her husband the newly appointed head of United Artists she'll get the part. No one needs a delusional Holmes who thinks she's a real A-lister that can act as well. Holmes is pathetic-she can't even wear her new hairdo without it hanging in her face and looking messy.The only role for her is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen-the only role Tom had in mind when he took her on.
