T.Burton è il produttore del film non il regista che infatti è Shane Acker
In their first foray into animated movie, Focus Features will back the Shane Acker-directed 9. Tim Burton will produce.
Based on Acker's short film of the same name, the surreal fantasy takes place in a parallel world where humanity is threatened. Acker describes the movie as having a "stylized quality" that makes footage look like stop-motion animation.
Pamela Pettler (who wrote Tim Burton's Corpse Bride) has been brought on board to write the 9 screenplay.
Acker's 9 short was recently honored with the animated film laurel at Comic-Con. It is eligible for a 2005 Oscar nomination after also winning gold at the Student Academy Awards
