[glow=green,2,300]What started everything!
The Original short flim 9 done in 2005!
Won many awards and is now in post-production state for the feauter length flim 9.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The film revolves around 9, a rag doll-like creature who appears to be the last of his kind in the ruins of a decaying world parallel to our own, and is in possession of a glowing, container-like artifact. 9 recounts recent events that led to where he is now: he was once accompanied by his friend and mentor, a one-eyed rag doll named 5, with whom he scavenged the ruins of their world in search of tools that would help them survive. One day, they were spotted by a twisted mechanical monster that had killed seven of their rag doll kindred by stealing their souls with a container similar to 9's, which was given to him by 5. The monster attacked and stole 5's soul with its container, killing him, though 9 was able to escape.

I'd like to see if the short will have any connection to the movie. Maybe the movie will tell what went on before leading to where the short began.
But it was'nt until I saw this until I realized that these rag doll creatures were small.

I suppose it would make a lot of sense that way except for two things.

• The monster was apparently killed by 7 in the trailer.
  
• It would suck D major if all the characters were to die. Especially the non-fighter types, like 3, 4 and 6.
  

[Zenoah]

They'll never take 3 & 4! NEVER!

Yeah it would suck, however, it's not normaly in a movie where everyone is killed. Seeing this would be a big change.

I heard it was just going to be based on the universe originally in the short. same world, different...plot?

agreed

[Zenoah]

BUT
It would be something diffrent for them to all die.

[gidgiddonu]

I think 2, 5, 7, and possibly 1 will die? Why them? Because in the trailer it looks like there's a soulless 7, and she's all wrapped up in some weird rope, you see 2's soul get taking, five died in the short, but I don't know if that's anything to go by for the film, and it would seem fitting that 1 die, then everyone turns to 9 for some reason or another.

[dimitroff]

We have a great "who will die" thread just for the occasion.

[Trig]

What I noticed in the short: desk lamp and the button cell (the lil' battery... which wasn't around until the 70s...I think... P:). So yeah, I think that confirms it's different time period/wherever-the-heck-that-is...

[soraxriku]

wait, so let me get this straight (and correct me on ANYTHING) This upcoming movie is based on a short (which won alot of awards) that this guy called Shane Acker made? Does he have anything to do with the Official movie? In the trailer, i think it says his name.

[Jabberwocky]

Yes! Shane Acker made the short. Tim Burton saw it and liked it and agreed to produce it. Shane is directing it.

[aur]

I love how pretty much everything is staying true to the short, from what I've seen in the trailers. I bet Shane Acker is just extremely lucky feeling to have his short made into a worldwide movie.

[3Dasha]

Does anyone know:
In the end, the soul of 5 nods to 9 - he does that to say ''thanks'' or to say "hey 9 it's me, 5, your friend"?

[citrus02honey]

I feel like the 5 nod is a combination of "well done" and "sup brah?"

But I could be wrong

[FinalAdventure]

This may be looking into things too seriously...

But I always thought 5 turns around and pretty much tells 9, "It was you who set me free. Thank you. I must move on. See you in the future..."
