Wow this looks fantastic! I was completely unaware of the original 2005 short that this new feature is based on.

The original 9 directed by Shane Acker was released way back in April of ‘05 and was nominated for an Academy Award. You can check this out below. Disregard the odd added sounds that somehow made it into to the beginning of this clip.

The new full length produced by Tim Burton and featuring the voice talents of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Crispin Glover, and Jennifer Connelly will be released in September. I’m really looking forward to this. If the short is any indication, then this is going to be great. Here is the trailer:(extra points for using The Knife in it!)
