Unlikely movie coming out akin to Half Life
BlindsideDork \| 9:25 AM on 02.09.2009	15 comments

For some this may seem like a stretch but this weekend I saw one of the most epic trailers ever. It was attached to Push but you can see it online now and it is definitely worth your time.

This should be seen in the best quality so click to see: 9.

Yeah yeah "oldz, lulz" but for those who don't know, it is a Tim Burton film. I've never been a huge fan of his films but this one I can't wait for. Perhaps it is some of the visual scenes or the ton/atmosphere that gives me a Half Life feeling. Or simply put, it could be that it seems just so amazingly epic and that is what HL was. Of course you have to tolerate the music but it gets the job done.

Probably the best way to sum it up is if Half Life and LittleBigPlanet had a baby. Then those babies grew up a bit and got pissed off cause someone wrecked their world. It is a win win situation!

Also, those look like Striders, huh?

Wow. Looks like it could be a really good movie.

It does have a "Half-Life" feel to it. Has Tim Burton played any video games?

Can't wait. Looks to be a lot of fun.

It's probably closer to a halflife film than an actual attempt at an actual live action halflife film would be.

Which is sad.

This looks amazing! I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton since I was little, and a fan of Half-Life and LBP. Will definately have to keep track of this film.
Also, I kinda liked the music, but it seemed familiar. I listen to Nightwish and it almost sounded like it was from one of their songs...will have to listen to them today to see if I can find which one.

I caught site of this two months ago, and it looks brilliant. If you are interested in this movie, you should check out the 10 minute film that it is based off of, I believe it is also entitled 9.

Tim Burton is only producing.

Like he did with Nightmare before Xmas.

Not directing.

The director is the guy who did Wanted and Nightwatch/Daywatch.

Looks like Heroes which I was never really that interested in, in the first place.

I think it looks more like a LittleBigPlanet and Fallout 3 baby, but yeah, those things do look like striders.

I've been excited about this movie for a while now.

I want this movie now, Alice can take a fucking knee.

This shit needs theatrical release now.

I got a huge Psychonauts vibe from it, but maybe that's just me.

Ah yes, thank you blindsidedork, my fiance would have smacked me for not remembering that one...but then again he owns the album, I don't, and I only listened to it once...but I thought the music was amazing.

And, yes dvddesign, I know he's not directing it, he's only producing. He didn't direct Nightmare Before Christmas either, cause he was busy directing Batman Returns. He produced NMBC, but in that case he also wrote it.

I did some web searching and found finally the original 10 minute short by Shane Acker back in 2005 (so technically LBP was slightly influenced by this). Here it is in the best quality I could find, since Shane's webside doesn't have it any more, just a preview: 9 the short

There is also a one minute clip that you can get of the feature length movie if you can get streaming video on your phone. Mine doesn't, but I did find one guy who has the clip (a pretty bad one) on youtube that he filmed off his iphone. And I must say that one minute is amazing. 1 minute clip

Hope this helps!
