Sackboy: The Movie aka 9

[The Wandering God]

Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDH0e73_j8M)

Looks good to me.

Also, am I the only one who thinks it is a bit odd that 3 movies coming out all have the number nine in the title? This, Nine (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0875034/), and District 9 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/). I mean, I know it's 2009, but this is starting to get excessive.

The Wandering God

This is the summer movie I have been most excited about. Tim Burton is either hit or miss but this looks really good.

[Azisien]

I usually find Tim Burton's movies to be rather average or completely overhyped. But as a producer role I think he'll add in his nice charm. The trailer really drew me in the first time I saw it, moreso than the 6 other action-oriented movies they showed before and after.

Hm, the comments at IMDB didn't have terribly nice things to say about it, but I think I'll wait and watch it for myself. Possibly for free when it comes out on DVD. :p

Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Beetlejuice were his best movies, and everything else has paled in comparison. I think he's basically been riding the popularity of those movies ever since. Did he have a hand in Coraline? I just watched that and that was pretty good. So maybe I'm talking out of my ass. His take on the Mad Hatter is just terrible, though.

As for 9, looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing it.

That was Henry Selick not Tim Burton. I don't recall him having anything to do with Coraline what so ever though.

[Magic_Marker]

It looks pretty good. My reaction to seeing the trailer was "Hey! Little Big Movie!" which, while it isn't that, it does look to entertain.

[krogothwolf]

Wasn't this first an animated short back in 2005?

Big Fish and Batman were pretty darn awesome.

So who is directing 9? Shane Acker, huh? Wow, he has almost nothing on IMDB. I hope he does well.

ONLY THE FIRST BATMAN The others in that series sucked

[krogothwolf]

Well the guy was the director of the short film that was nominated for an oscar, it's only fair he gets to direct the feature length version as well.

[Kaneda]

I love how whenever Tim Burton's name appears anywhere near any given movie, everyone thinks he directed it, and then any movie tangentally related to that movie.

Burton's not directing 9, he didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas, he had nothing to do with Coraline, and he only directed the first Batman and Batman Returns, so using a plural when referring to "other" Burton Batman movies is odd.

[NonCon]

Well, they do call it "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas", and the Coraline thing was because I thought somebody had said he had played some part in its creation, and that wouldn't have surprised me. As for the other movies, they didn't say Other Burton Batman Movies, they said the others in that series sucked or some such. And they do all seem like they're supposed to fit together in some sense, even if they weren't all done by the same person.

[krogothwolf]

Generally speaking he was writer and producer behind Nightmare Before Christmas and would have directed if not for Batman Returns. He was the Director of the First 2 Batman movies, and I did really enjoy Batman Returns. He was the producer of Batman Forever and had nothing to do with Batman and Robin. Coraline is because people see "from the creator/director(can't remember which) of nightmare before Christmas and everyone thinks he directed it which he didn't. He did Direct Corpse bride which I really liked as well.

[Bells]

Ok, yeah, that looked pretty cool and all, but i'm still sad that this isn't about a Little Big Planet movie.

either way, is this some sort of original design or is it based on something?

[Jagos]

Original from the looks.

I've been looking forward to this one since I watched the trailer during Terminator.
