Procrastinate on This! New Tim Burton (Sorta)
So I’m still not clear on the backstory of this movie, 9, but apparently this was produced by Tim Burton and that Russian director from Wanted and Daywatch. And it’s actually written and directed by some guy I’ve never heard of. But it looks kick-ass. Hopefully Gudrun, our resident animator, knows a little more about it and will weigh in.
Also, though I love the cleverness of releasing it on 9-9-09, I’m sad that we’ll have to wait so long to actually see it. Hmph! Anyway, check out the trailer below.
I think it's an expansion of the director's animated short that won (or at least was nominated for) an Oscar. Burton and Timur Hardtospelllastname slapped their names on it to make sure it got made. Looks fancy. . .

I don't have much, but I did see the short a year or so ago. It was a very well made, dramatic, future-industrial, post-apocalyptic machine age, no dialogue (I think) short animated film. When I heard it was going to be expanded into a feature I didn't really know how they would do it, but of course there was probably a lot more to the story than was visible in the film. I know this because my own short film had no words and the story is very complicated, at least to me.
Watching the trailer now I'm wondering who the film is made for, and I really hope it's for adults, but I worry that there will be cutesy stuff tossed in to make it kid friendly. If not, I am impressed that Americans made it, and I can't wait to see it.
Shane Acker wrote and directed the short film 9, which premiered at Sundance in 2005, so major kudos to him for this fantastic break!
