I saw the Beast of 9 winners and one of them drew a monster with a bird skull, like 7. Shane Acker said that 7 will find that beast and tame it to be a secondary weapon in a sequel. Gosh!

Incase anyone wants a link to this... XD news.deviantart.com/article/95015/This creature is so beautifully crafted, it's both haunting and poetic. In some strange twist of fate I could imagine this beast being tamed by 7 and becoming her battle steed. Hmm...maybe in a sequel... " - Shane Acker, Director

For me, it's not so much a sequel I want to see as a prequel. The Scientist, Chancellor and rebels are too intriguing to just be brushed aside.

I dunno, I think that would make for a boring, full-fledged movie- because we all know how it ends, and that doesn't make for a good story. It would make for a nice DVD short, but not a movie, y'know? Anyways, I would be as happy as peaches to see a 9 sequel- maybe introducing some new characters (Which is completely and utterly possible).

Not to mention what the stitchpunks went through before 9's arrival. There's so much potential to harvest in just those two things. I personally felt the scientist/chancellor/war backstory could have been more filled out, too. The Facebook page for the scientist sorta did that, but it could have so much more to it. May be that can be it too...

It would make for a nice DVD short, but not a movie, y'know? I have to humbly disagree with you, YAY, on this point: You remember Star Wars Episode III? Well, we all knew that Anakin would become Darth Vader, but the movie still rocked anyway. We knew how it would end, but it was the evolution of Anakin's character into Darth Vader that made the movie interesting. Similarly, I believe that expounding on the details of how and why the world got all crazy as well as the fleshing-out of the characters and their relationships with each other would make the movie interesting to watch, even though we know how it will end.

I recall my Theater Arts professor telling me a story about a man "who left the theater in disappointment when he found out the ship in Titanic was going to sink anyway." My professor said "okay, but many of us know the ship was going to sink, but that is not what the movie is all about." The point here is that we want not just what happens. We want to know and experience how it happens; we want to be part of the realism. Let us just see if Shane Acker improves his narration skills. Despite the bland narration in 9, I have faith that his direction will never disappoint me (call me insane, but I believe there will come a day where Acker will deserve a Best Director Academy Award. I saw his potential in the movie).

The scientist made a machine, the machine came to life, the Chanceller took it away and it became evil. Those are the major plot points. That is what happened. Everything else in the middle would just be the scientist locking himself in his room and working on this machine as nothing interesting in particular happened, besides the few explosion. I guess I would like to know more about the scientist's personal life, but even then, could you stretch that into an hour long film? I guess I'm not getting my point across well here because you guys would probably love seeing those monotonous details, but what I'm trying to say is that a prequel doesn't open up any doors- it doesn't introduce nothing new. When you make a movie, you want to make something that will cause and upward movement- a prequel would just be a flat plauteu of, "Hey that was neat, but I didn't learn anything all that new or interesting, and I sure as heck didn't learn anything about the stitchpunks besides their life was pretty much just sitting around as it was loud outside. Wow, does it suck to be those guys. M'KAY." Or I guess that's just how I feel? I just feel like a prequel would write Shane Acker into a wall, creativity wise. With a sequel, it doesn't have to feel like a sequel- it can feel like a whole nother movie, while tying into the first. Besides, couldn't a sequel provide some depth into the past as well? I dunno, I just don't think a prequel holds a lot of potential. Although I'd love some more info to the past, I don't think it deserves a movie. Also, the Titanic sucked on my movie meter as well. >_>;;Aaahaha, this turned into a wall of text... I'm sorry I get so carried away!

A sequel would be interesting, seeing as how I can't really imagine a way to make one I would definitely see it just to see what they did to expand on it like that.

Ah...I never thought of it that way. I suppose a sequel could answer some questions about the past through flashbacks and the like. Nice insight, YAY, and I retract my disagreement.

I agree with YAY (except on the Titanic hate).
While I would be thrilled to see scenes -- perhaps flashback scenes -- from before 9's awakening, I think it would make for a poor movie plot on its own. Several years of the stitchpunks wandering around? There's not much conflict there. While I am interested in it, it's the sort of thing I think would be more suited to reading than watching.
Shane has said for certain that he has plots that he would like to explore in a sequel. Considering how long he's spent working on this world (going on eight years now?), I trust that if he believes there's another story to tell that would make a worthwhile sequel, chances are there is.
It helps me, of course, that my three favorite characters ended up surviving and thus would be most likely to show up in another film. But I do think that going forward is the only option as far as another full-length movie would go.

Well, I fell asleep during Titanic, so I can't say if it's good or bad. Romantic movies and chick flicks have a tendency to put me right to sleep xD
But I'd certainly LOVE to see a sequel or prequel to 9 : D I'm particularly interested in seeing the relationships between the characters explained, which a prequel would be wonderful for. As well as just more backstory in general. Maybe even see how they all interacted with the Scientist before they all left his house?

I do not think a prequel will always offer "monotous details", but I am skeptical of a sequel. I am just waiting and see what Acker will come up with. Whatever it may be, maybe I will not enjoy or like it, but I would appreciate it.
Wow, I never saw Titanic but it was that bad?
