9 is based on the short film of the same name by Shane Acker and will be featured on a panel discussion at Comic-Con 2009.
MTV caught up with Tim Burton, producer of 9. Of which, MTV says is, "one of the most anticipated [films] of the Con."
MTV gives a synopsis of
9:
The movie tells the story of a group of small, Frankenstein-esque clockwork creations as they battle an army of machines that has destroyed the world. "I just love the texture and stop-motion feel to it," said Burton, who connected with Acker after watching the short. "I know animation is broadening its horizons but this just felt different... I liked the world that [Acker] created and the texture. It felt like a different type of animated film. The visuals were helping to create the story. I just felt very in tune with the look and feel of it."
Burton says of
9:
"Our goal as producers—if you see someone you like, you don't want to suppress them—the goal was to create an environment where he can do his thing," Burton continued. "My attitude is always to give suggestions and if he uses them fine, if not, okay. We wanted this to be grounded and slightly realistic in the similar vein to stop-motion, let the film breathe. We wanted it to have mystery and let it breathe."
