2009 is the year of the “9″

The date seems apocalyptic but it is not doomsday! It is the release date for an interesting CGI movie…and the images are really impressive! Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce Shane Acker’s original and thrilling tale called just “9″!

9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A group of sapient rag dolls, living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Elijah Wood), who displays leadership qualities that may help them to survive.

The conflicted, but resilient group includes 1 (Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran; 2 (Martin Landau), an aged inventor; 5 (John C. Reilly), a stalwart mechanic; 6 (Crispin Glover), a visionary and artist; and 7 (Jennifer Connelly), a brave warrior. [2][3] The trailer also shows two hooded rag dolls with the numbers 3 and 4 on them. In addition a large strong rag doll has the number 8 on his shoulder.

“9″ feels like a breeze of fresh air in the middle of just average movies. The background music, the plot, the characters…everything is just in the right place. The only thing that remains is the long wait until the release of the movie.
