Our own JimmyO, the man with the Stache, the hat and the plan recently broke
bread with the director of the upcoming animated trip flick
“9” SHANE ACKER and here’s what the latter had
to say about a potential sequel.
Is there room to continue the story of 9?
I think there is definitely room. I mean, the way
we end the film, there is a slight suggestion that it may be a new
beginning. And I think we could continue the journey from where we left off
and see how these creatures are existing in a world in which the natural
environment is coming back and perhaps even threatening them in some way.
Do they make the decision to not affect it, or do they try to affect it in
some way? And do they still try to hold on to that humanity within them or
do they recognize themselves at being machines too and go off on a different
trajectory? So there’s lots of idea that I think that we could play with
and make another story out of. 9 was
produced by dudes on top of their film game Timur Bekmambetov and Tim
Burton. It opens on September 9, 2009 and you can
check out its TRAILER here!
Come on Burton! Produce a feature
about this doodle unhinged!
