What’s This Then?

[bryant]

Some guy named Shane Acker apparently made a student animation film called 9, which you can see online. It’s only like 10 minutes, it got nominated for an Oscar, go ahead.

But because sometimes the right thing happens, it got picked up and now he’s directing the full-length movie version, with Elijah Wood and Crispin Glover and other people doing voices. There’s a trailer just out. I think maybe the right order is the trailer first, so your appetite is whetted, and then you can say “whoa, I can see a full version!” and watch the short, and then sit around contemplating whether or not adding voices and making it stretch longer is a mistake. It’s probably not, though.

Speaking of C rispin Glover, if you ever get a chance to go out and see his whack-ass movie, "What is it?" you oughta. I think you can only see it when he's there to talk about it, but I might be wrong.

That's neat.

But now what I want to see is an anthology of short films about the littlebigplanet creature, not a single long piece...

It comes out right before my birthday!

I have already just bought tickets for this in my mind.

It's neat to see the progression from short to trailer. Looks pretty cool. :)
