Will the Oscar-winner sing a different tune in his next film?

Only months after winning an Oscar® for playing a ruthless oilman in 'There Will Be Blood,' DANIEL DAY-LEWIS may star in a new musical, according to Variety.

The trade reports that Day-Lewis is in talks to play the role of Guido Contini, which was originally to have been played by fellow Oscar-winner JAVIER BARDEM.

The ROB MARSHALL-directed musical, based on FELLINI's '8 1/2,' is set to co-star none other than Oscar winners NICOLE KIDMAN, SOPHIA LOREN, JUDI DENCH and MARION COTILLARD and Oscar nominee PENELOPE CRUZ. Day-Lewis' character would be a movie director who juggles relationships with the five women he's closest to.
