"9" Tim Burton and Timur Bekmembetov

Tim Burton (um you know what he's directed!) and Timur Bekmembetov (Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted) have teamed up to produce 9 , an animated feature film from director Shane Acker. Acker is fleshing out the film from his 2005 original short film 9 about "a parallel world where humanity is threatened" Here's a look at the trailer, making this along with the Henry Selik directed Coraline and Pixar's UP one of the most promising years in recent memory for animated feature films.

9 debuts 09-09-09 and features the voices of Elijah Wood, John C. Reiley, Jennifer Connelly, Crispen Glover Martin Landau and Christopher Plumber.
