I'm surprised no one's brought this up yet. I saw the first theatre teaser back in February, but little else since then. I haven't even been seeing liscensed stuff via Previews/Daimond yet.
Here's the first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcKD7Wh14Xs
The original short by Acker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IQcMeNh7Hc&feature=related
The new trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CPEhVAYi0k
Really, this is only nine weeks away and there's been very little hoodoo about it. Anyone else see any?

Well, saw it last night, and while the characters were a little on the stiff side and post-apocalyptic stuff is kind of old hat....THIS FLICK RAWKED!! :w00t:

Hmm; I think Nine would be better as far as movie titles go, because 9 is just a single character & thus less noticeable. I might put this one in my NF queue, though I am not really into Burton's films.

9 is both a number and the title character. He's the omega-alpha of ragdoll analog robots (think Raggedy Ann battling Skynet).

And I know whatcha mean about Burton, though I do like some of his movies.
The beauty of this one is it's not really Burton, he's just producing, and Acker was allowed to do the directy-stuff (very unusual for a Hollywood take on an indy flick, as well as Burton's track record on loyalty regarding creative help[ie:Henry Sellick and the Mars Attacks/James & the Giant peach scandal])
