Sometimes, I still encounter people who still think The Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by Tim Burton because of the style, when in fact it was directed by Henry Selick. Often times, the visionary director Tim Burton would help out and produced other projects from fellow visionary directors who are just as talented as he is. Here’s another one. The movie 9 is based on the 2005 Oscar nominated short animated film and now the feature film has a trailer.
Directed by Shane Acker, produced by Tim Burton and Wanted director, Timur Bekmambetov. Can’t get enough of Post-apocalyptic nightmares, take a load of this..
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
When 9 (Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he 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.
