And here ’s the prescribed plot line :

When 9 ( Elijah Wood ) first comes to animation , he rule himself in a post - revelatory world . All world are gone , and it is only by prospect that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from awful machine that range the earth intent on their extermination . Despite being the neophyte of the group , 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good . They must take the offense if they are to survive , and they must see why the machines need to destroy them in the first place . As they ’ll soon come to learn , the very hereafter of culture may depend on them .

I love the off - kelter tone of the trailer , and the facial expression of the legion of mechanical attackers . And the high - energy action at law succession . It really does remind me of the good bits of Burton and Bekmambetov , a compounding I could never have imagined before . [ Teaser - Trailer ]
