Tim Burton hasn't been involved with a good movie in a while, in my opinion. It seems like he never really recovered after that cinematic abortion called Planet of the Apes. However, I have always given him the benefit of the doubt, and walked into all his movies with hope that it would bring back the magic that I felt the first time I saw Edward Scissorhands (I actually really liked Sweeney Todd, but I'll never admit it in public).
Well I might soon change my tune, because the trailer for the new CGI feature, 9, produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, the guy who directed Night Watch and Wanted, looks AWESOME. Maybe it's the sweet post-apocalyptic setting, maybes it's the awesome character and set design, or maybe it's just the kick ass Coheed and Cambria song playing over the trailer, but I'm super stoked. Plus it comes out on my birthday.
9 was directed by Shane Acker; a first time director who worked on the Weta special effects team during production of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and made the original 9 short film on his own back in 2005. With a cast full of stars like Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, and Crispin Glover, this movie has the potential to be utterly spectacular or a huge disappointment. I'll save hope for the former. Hit the source link to check out the trailer for 9 on Apple's website and get stoked.
