Synopsis

The Nines consists of three short films, each featuring the same actors in different — and sometimes overlapping — roles.

"The Prisoner" tells the story of a troubled television star (Ryan Reynolds) who finds himself under house arrest, with his chipper publicist (Melissa McCarthy) and disillusioned next-door neighbor (Hope Davis) providing his only links to the outside world. Mysterious events lead him to question whether one or both women are deceiving him about the nature of his incarceration.

"Reality Television" is a half-hour episode of "Behind the Screen," a Project Greenlight-style documentary series tracking the process of creating a network television drama. Having shot the pilot, creator/ showrunner Gavin Taylor (also Ryan Reynolds) faces post-production with the help of his best friend (and lead actress) Melissa McCarthy and development VP Susan Howard (Hope Davis).

"Knowing" finds an acclaimed videogame designer (also Ryan Reynolds) and his wife (Melissa McCarthy) facing car trouble deep in the woods. Their daughter (Elle Fanning) uncovers information which leads to a difficult and irrevocable choice.

Elle's Character

Noelle is a mute girl who is the daughter of Ryan Reynolds and Melissa McCarthy's characters. The family face car troubles deep in the woods, and it is Noelle who "uncovers information which leads to a difficult and irrevocable choice." Her character is described as being the key to a dark conspiracy.

Trivia

. As she plays a mute character, Elle had to learn some sign language for this role.
