9

[Furtherman]

I mentioned this short film before (http://ronfez.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1974846&postcount=59), and the new trailer is out.

While a pair of doll-like creatures pick through an apocalyptic junkyard, a monstrous automaton stalks them, intent on capturing their souls. Next year, Shane Acker’s Oscar-winning animated short 9 gets the feature length treatment, backed by the voice work of Elijah Wood, Martin Landau, and Jennifer Connelly. The feature film promises to flesh out Acker’s world and show what becomes of humanity’s legacy after we are gone. Watch the original, haunting short below:

From IMDB
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.

The conflicted, but resilient group includes 1 (Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran; 2 (Martin Landau), an aged inventor; 5 (John C. Reilly), a stalwart mechanic; 6 (Crispin Glover), a visionary and artist; and 7 (Jennifer Connelly), a brave warrior.

There are at least several malevolent creatures up against this group; namely, the cat-skulled creature from the short film, a split-headed flying being that resembles both a bat and a manta ray in wing shape, and an insectoid creature with jointed legs and a pod-like body.

I can't believe they didn't use any Tool music for the soundtrack. Visually this pic looks pretty cool, however the plot lines and character development seem to be on the thin side. Still, I'll surely check out Burton's latest on 09/09/09 (or later).

I'd think they'd use Slipknot.

I'd watch it if Jennifer Connelly wasn't just a voice actor in it.

[KnoxHarrington]

I'd watch it if Jennifer Connelly did another ass-to-ass scene in it.

I agree totally.

[drjoek]

I wont watch it just based on the freeze frame of the beginning of the trailer thats posted

No Thanks

[lleeder]

[Judge Smails]

There's also a German film called "Cloud 9" coming out, and don't forget about "District 9".
