As we’ve said before here at The Flickcast, we’re very interested in the upcoming animated film 9, directed by Tim Burton protege’ Shane Acker and Exec. Produced by Burton and director Timur Bekmabetov. From what we’ve seen so far it, combines all of our favorite genres: sci-fi, drama, suspense and action to form what could be one of the most interesting and original films released this year.
In the past, we’ve been able to bring you some details about the film, including the very first poster. Now, we’re pleased to let you know that the film has a new website where you can get even more information and hopefully becomes as interested in the film as we are. This new site differs from the current one devoted to the film over at Focus Features in that it provides glimpses into the minds of the characters and the scientist who created them. Its a very cool way to learn more about the film, the story and its characters.
9 features the voices of Ellijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Christopher Plummer as the rag-tag band of living, fighting toys who take up arms after the world of humans is destroyed. 9 hits theaters on September 9th.
Before that, be sure to check out the new website. Also, because we can, you can also take a look at the trailer for the film after the break.

Over at one of our favorite other sites, Film School Rejects, they’ve got the first poster for the film 9 in all its glowy goodness. The film, directed by newcomer Shane Acker is presented to the world by producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, with whom he shares top billing on the poster. Plus, they’ve put the writer’s name prominently on the poster which, as a writer myself, I think is pretty cool.
9 features the voices of Ellijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Christopher Plummer as the rag-tag band of living, fighting toys who take up arms after the world of humans is destroyed. Another cool thing about this movies, besides the poster, is that you can receive updates before the revolution begins from their scientist creator by being his friend on Facebook.
9 hits theaters on, um, September 9th. Convenient. Oh, and nice job marketing and publicity people. Way to pull it together.
Check out the full sized poster after the jump. Its’ pretty cool.
