VIDEO: “9″ Movie Trailer
This has got to be the coolest looking project ever. From producers Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) and Tim Burton (really? It’s Tim effing Burton) and directed by Shane Acker comes a modern day fairy tail about human stupidity, an apocalypse, and the meek inheriting the Earth.
The story is simple enough: “9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A group of sapient rag dolls, living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Elijah Wood), who displays leadership qualities that may help them to survive.” (IMDb). But the execution is AMAZING! This is one of the most beautiful animations I have seen since Final Fantasy: Advent Children. And if that doesn’t sell you, I have one name that will make you stomp your grandmother to go and see it: Crispen Glover.
