'9' Trailer Kicks Serious Ass

About a month ago, we shared with you a story about Elijah Wood and a post-apocalyptic animated flick he was working on called 9. The film is based on a short film, which we included in the initial story, and though that short is wordless and the new film has plenty of voice actors - Wood, Crispin Glover, Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, and Martin Landau head the cast - it was still a very exciting prospect, in large part because it teams Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov as producers. Said Wood of the project, "It’s basically about a post-apocalyptic world where machines created by man have destroyed mankind, and these nine rag dolls go about trying to find out what has happened and what these machines are about.” Now the trailer for 9 has premiered, and it's almost embarrassinlgy incredible, if such a thing is possible. The Transsiberian Orchestra-like tune certainly captures an image, too. Check it out: That's just all sorts of good, isn't it? Now I'm stoked; next year is shaping up to be a big one for animated film. Look for 9 in theaters on...9.9.09. Clever.
