French 9 Trailer: Even With Subtitles, This Movie Looks Badass
9 July 2009 8:10 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Beloved Fsr reader Tommy C. sent over (though we've since determined that it came from Allocine) the latest international trailer for the upcoming post-apocalyptic stitch punk actioner (that's what they're calling it now) 9 this morning. And while I know that you all can't read the French subtitles, rest easy. This trailer is (a) actually in English and (b) yet another awe-inspiring look at the brilliance of this film. Directed by Shane Acker and based on one of his own short films, 9 follows the story of nine stitched up heroes who were created by a brilliant scientist during the final days of humanity. Now they are tasked with stopping a robot-led apocalypse and maybe, just maybe find out how to hold on to the essence of humanity. It's a wicked cool premise with more than one wicked cool trailers. For service in English, please check out the most recent theatrical trailer. For

New Character Posters for ‘9′
6 July 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news
While the summer blockbusters are still going strong, there’s one film that just misses the “summer” requirement but is still making a name for itself. The film is Shane Acker’s 9, which is based on his award-winning animated short from a few years back, and is produced by Tim Burton. The film is out this September and the marketing team has just released a series of character posters, showing off the animated cast of the film.
In the film, a group of numbered “people” are given the task of saving a post-apocalyptic world from destruction of giant robotic creatures. If you’re thinking “this sounds like every other movie out this summer”, then you should watch the original short that the film will be based on, because it’s got just enough of the Tim Burton fantasy-feel to make it a great movie.
The new posters show off the pretty big ensemble cast,

Meet the Characters of Shane Acker’s 9
1 July 2009 8:56 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Focus Features has provided Fsr with a fantastic first look at the characters from the upcoming CG-animated thriller 9, from director Shane Acker and producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov. As you may know, 9 follows the story of nine 'stitchpunk' dolls who were given life by a scientist in the final hours of human existence. Now living in a post-apocalyptic world, these nine lifeforms must find a way to survive and protect the essence of human existence. They also decide that instead of hiding, they must venture out into the dangerous world and put a stop to the robot invasion that threatens to eradicate life from Earth. It's a grim premise, but also one that sounds pretty cool. As well, the animation is super sharp and if it is anything like Shane Acker's short film upon which the film is based, we're in for a real treat.

8 Posters For 9

Here's a close look at all nine characters from 9, courtesy of Focus Features. The animated dystopian sci-fi is directed by Shane Acker, and produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, and released in September.It's the story of nine ragdolls given the spark of life and sent on an impossible quest; kind of like Little Big Planet, only not. 1 is the caped leader, voiced by Christopher Plummer; 2 is the rickety Martin Landau-voiced inventor; 3 and 4 are nerdy researcher twins who share a poster (casting yet to be revealed); 5 is John C. Reilly's one-eyed engineer; 6 is the stripey visionary, described in the PR as "reclusive and eccentric", so naturally voiced by Crispin Glover; the token girl is Jennifer Connelly's ninja 7; 8 is another fighter, this time wielding a cleaver (ubiquitous voice artist Fred Tatasciore); and our heroic zip-fronted newborn is 9 himself, voiced by Elijah Wood.

Focus Features just sent over eight character posters depicting all nine of the main characters in the upcoming animated effort 9 from filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch). For anyone that has already seen the trailers you already know this looks like it has the potential to be a fantastic animated film and dare I say give Pixar's Up a run for its money in the Best Animated Feature category come Oscar time? The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone ond only a small community of stitchpunk beings have survived with 9 (voiced by Elijah Wood) at the center of it all. Along with a few others like him, 9 takes 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.
