Fans will have just two weeks to catch “9” movie, directed by Shane Acker and co-written with Pamela Pettler. So, until then you can watch the extended featurette for the movie which shows never before seen footage, interviews with cast and crew and brand new clips from “9.”
The upcoming animated adventure / fantasy / Sci-Fi is based on Acker’s Academy Award-nominated 2005 short “9,″ a post-apocalyptic nightmare in which all of humanity is threatened.
Directors Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are among the feature version’s producers.
The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world’s machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down. But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist postapocalypse.
Another of their own, #9 (voiced by Elijah Wood), emerges and displays leadership qualities that may help them survive and possibly even thrive. The conflicted but resilient tribe already includes #1 (Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran and the group’s longtime leader; #2 (Martin Landau), a kindly but now-frail inventor; #3 and #4, scholarly twins who communicate nonverbally and mostly with each other; #5 (John C. Reilly), a stalwart and nurturing engineer; #6 (Crispin Glover), an erratic artist beset by visions; #7 (Jennifer Connelly), a brave and self-sufficient warrior; and #8 (Fred Tatasciore), the none-too-bright muscle and enforcer for #1. “9” dynamically explores the will to live, the power of community, and how one soul can change the world.
“9″ movie opens the theaters on 09/9/09.
