9 Produced by Tim Burton

Last Saturday, I caught the trailer for a new film from producer Tim Burton (who is genius!) 9 and it looks quite interesting to me. It looks spendidly apocalyptic and sci fi, mixed with a bit of steampunk with the rag doll/robot beings who innherit the Earth.
Coming 09-09-09!

Interesting facts about the number 9:
