“Wow!” is my reaction to the trailer for 9, Shane Acker’s fantastic-looking animated feature that comes to us from producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (WANTED) – how’s that for a couple of mentors?
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.
Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly, and Crispin Glover all lend their voices to this potentially amazing flick. Check out the trailer below – I suggest you make it LARGE when you watch it. (Pump up the volume too, the music rocks!)
9 comes out on SEPTEMBER 9th.
