When 9 (voice of Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where 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.

As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them. Written by Focus Features

Talent: Shane Ackers (Creator), Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, CGI Ragdolls
One look at the recent trailer and you are instantly hooked… not bad for a movie that almost no one had heard of beforehand. Based on his own award-winning short, Acker’s 9 is a post-apocalyptic tale of living ragdolls, mechanical beasts, and a quest to save all of humanity. It’s also one of the most amazing and beautiful-looking CGI films yet, even if it is substantially darker than the usual CGI kiddie films. - Rob Hunter

Huh. I was expecting this to be a thread about the upcoming movie musical.

I enjoyed the trailer and the short very much. Looks quite interesting. I will not forget the date because 9/9/09 is a friend's birthday. Thanks for posting this.

You mention talent and neglect to include Crispin Glover?

AND Martin Landau???

The list of actors lending their voices is impressive.

I know, right? I love CGI movies, an the fact that this one seems kinda dark is just perfect for me. Excited for this one.

Looks like a mix between Wall-E and a Tim Burton flick

Just kidding. I just love seeing Krispin Glover in stuff. Still love watching the YouTube video of him kicking over Letterman's head. Classic.

Plus, Martin Landau was in Space 1999, an all-time underrated sci-fi show.

They wouldn't ordinarily garner a mention.

Great cast. Anything with Christopher Plummer makes me happy.
