“9″ Movie Review
Shane Acker’s new post-apocalyptic animated adventure “9” began its life as the young director’s thesis project during his grad school days in UCLA’s animation department. In that original incarnation, the film was an 11-minute silent short that plunged viewers into a desolate, destroyed world inhabited only by diminutive rag dolls loosely stitched together out of whatever odds and ends survived the unseen cataclysm…read more [FilmJournal]
I have no idea who “9″ was made for, aside from me. It’s a dark, post-apocalyptic tale whose main characters are walking burlap sacks. There are killer robots, responsible for obliterating the human race, and they have long spindly arms and glowing red eyes, cousins of the Matrix’s sentinels. The story involves one of these sacks (9) meeting up with a group of other sacks, in an attempt to reclaim the world for… more sack people?…read more [MoviesOnline.ca]

Great New Four-Minute “9″ Clip
A few weeks ago we posted a five-minute clip from Shane Acker’s “9.” Today we have a brand new clip from this animated sci-fi adventure produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.
All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that 9 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. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.
The group of 9 rag dolls includes “1″ (voiced by Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran, “2″ (Martin Landau), an aged inventor, “3 & 4″ – twins – strange dolls, unable to speak, curious but very shy, “5″ (John C. Reilly), healer, mentor, great engineer and inventor, “6″ (Crispin Glover), a wild and impulsive visionary and artist, “7″ (Jennifer Connelly) a group’s sole female, a brave and self-sufficient warrior and “9″ (Elijah Wood) good-hearted, thoughtful, and sincere. He will easily risk his own life to save others.
Directed and written by Shane Acker with co-writer Pamela Pettler, “9″ will hit the theaters on 09/9/09.

Tim Burton Will Shoot “Dark Shadows” Next Year
Tim Burton confirmed Johnny Depp’s earlier claims – that the big screen adaptation of the cult horror-soap “Dark Shadows” will begin production in 2010.
A few weeks ago Depp said that he’ll be shooting “Dark Shadows” and a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film next year. An executive in Depp’s production told MTV that the film “is very active” and “the studio will be making some announcements regarding it pretty soon. Very soon, probably.”
Tim Burton told “he’s spending every waking moment” on his adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland.” As soon as he’s finished with ‘Alice,’ which is due in theaters early next year, he’ll finally begin work with Depp, again, on “Dark Shadows.”
“That’s something that [Depp and I] both love and are excited about. When I’m done with this I’ll definitely focus on that,” Burton told MTV News.
“It’s another challenge because it was such a weird soap opera,” Burton explained. “Part of the energy of it was the tone and weirdness of it. That’s our challenge, to try to capture that vibe.”
The new, Tim Burton’s movie version is written by John August and is based on the cult ’60s supernatural TV show created by Dan Curtis that aired weekdays on ABC, from 1966 to 1971. With over 1,225 episodes, “Dark Shadows” was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.
The series starred Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins, a nearly two-hundred-year-old vampire who is released from his coffin to both help and terrorise the inhabitants of the sleepy town Collinwood. Depp will reportedly play vampire Barnabas Collins.
“It’s exciting, very exciting. It’s like a lifelong dream for me. I loved the show when I was a kid. I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins. I have photographs of me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six. I’m very excited to do it,” Depp told.

Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.
The movie stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Michael Sheen plays the White Rabbit, Alan Rickman – Caterpillar, Christopher Lee – Jabberwock, Stephen Fry – Cheshire Cat and Crispin Glover stars as The Knave of Hearts.
