In case you missed Shane Acker's short "9", it was an independent project which has now been picked up for a full length feature with backing from Tim Burton. The YouTube version is below.I'll be interviewing Shane as soon as he has a moment to breathe, but news has come in that the casting for the feature includes ragdoll 9(Elijah Wood), domineering war veteran (Christopher Plummer), an aged inventor (Martin Landau), brave warrior (Jennifer Connelly), mechanic (John C.

I have been told that Attitude Studio in France are working on the feature with Shane directing.
