We've all seen the trailers, we all know how great this looks, so it's about time we get a poster for Shane Acker's 9! Unfortunately, it's a Russian poster, but I still love the look of it. I love all the vibrant colors of the main characters; I love how the 9 in the middle is made out of ragdoll material; I love how the evil machine with the red eye is creeping out of the middle; I love how the shadow beneath the Russian title turns into 09-09-09 for its release date. It's really just an all-around gorgeous poster, the kind I'd love to have on my wall if this turns out to be as amazing of a movie as we're all hoping (and I'm sure it will be).

Thanks to our friends over at IMPAwards for finding the poster, as I don't speak any Russian at all.

9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which our very humanity is threatened. A group of rag dolls living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9, who may be the key to their survival.

9 is both written and directed by visionary filmmaker Shane Acker, of two previous animated shorts The Hangnail and The Astounding Talents of Mr. Grenade. The screenplay was co-written by Acker and Pamela Pettler (Corpse Bride, Monster House). 9 was first an animated short that debuted in 2005 and earned an Oscar nomination. Providing their voices for the film are Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Christopher Plummer, and Martin Landau. 9 will arrive in theaters on September 9th.
