9

[RoShambo]

Sorry if this is a repost, I tried searching, but the title is too short, and my flu-like state probably didn't help when digging through page by page.

A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker’s distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman. When 9 (The Lord of the Ring’s Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

Why didn't I know of this sooner?

Here are a couple of links:
The trailer on Apple.com
original (oscar-winning?) short, which only dissappoints me by being just over 10 minutes long, instead of 9.

Whoa... that looks great! I'll definitely try to catch this in theaters.

And neat use of the Coheed & Cambria song.

What's the name of the song, if you don't mind?


EDIT: Found it "Welcome Home" by Coheed &Cambria

That movie looks awesome and I can't wait for it.

My only problem with it is the release date: 9.09.09 - Why does every fucking movie with a number involved in the title have to be released on a matching date?

Oh, and the fact that Burton's going to get all the general public credit because his name's on it.

don't know what it means, but that looks way kool!

Wow, the only negative- I couldn't stop thinking of LittleBigPlanet.

I saw the short film this was based on and it was alright. Visually cool, like LittleBigPlanet meets a Tool video. But the story was rather uninspired and cliched. But the feature really open the world up and give us something cool.

I saw this trailer earlier today and I thought it looked fanFREAKINtastic. The release being 9 months away is kinda disheartening (I want it NOW), but other than that it looks great!

Best use of Coheed ever.

Count me the fuck in! Really enjoyed the short and whoever made the trailer deserves a ton of editing credit. Great use of song.
