Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton gave their support to a feature film from a short film Director Shane Acker previously worked on. The final result, 9 is going to be both amazingly strange and explosively epic!

Just watch this new trailer of 9:

9 Movie Trailer

Plot:
“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.” (Source: IMDb)

Those little straw are puny, but they men got a mission to fulfill : they will smash the mechanical enemy!

You may enjoy below a clip of Shane Acker’s 9 movie, the clip features a group of post-apocalyptic ragdolls facing the attack of a hypnotizing baddie:

9 Movie Preview Clip

Plot:
“When 9 (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.”

Those straw men rock! No wonder Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton are producing the movie 9! Let’s hope that the whole movie will deliver as in this preview clip of 9.

Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are co-producing the movie 9, an upcoming CGI animated science-fiction movie created and directed by Shane Acker. 9 is animated by Attitude Studio (in Luxembourg) and by Starz Animation (in Toronto), with a few sequences done by Duncan Studios in LA and will be released by Focus Features. The film should be released on September 9, 2009, yeap that’s 9.9.9!

The lead voice actors are Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover.

Here below the first official 9 movie trailer:

As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.”

Those doll-like creatures evolving in a post-apocalyptic background look really strange and appealing. I’d say that 9 is a Coraline movie for grown ups.

If you’re wondering about the explosive soundtrack of this 9 trailer it’s the song ‘Welcome Home’ by Coheed and Cambria.
