    Apple.com has included this in their official synopsis of the film. Danny will compose the music…

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/9/hd

    “A new era in animated storytelling begins on 9.9.09. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton (The Corpse Bride, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Nightwatch) join forces to produce wunderkind director Shane Acker’s distinctively original and thrilling tale. 9 stars Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and Crispin Glover and features the music of Danny Elfman. When 9 (The Lord of the Ring’s Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.”

    Now, here’s what I wanna know : where did we get the info that Danny wasn’t doing it in the first place???
    Personnally, I still had hope, and I had not heard anything about anyone else or Danny scoring the movie…

    Haha. I think that Ryan had eluded to this months ago. Here I thought it was another film coming out in 2009 called 9 but they spell their’s out “Nine”. It too has a previous Elfman collaborator in the director’s chair – Rob Marshal. Seeing how it appears to be a musical remake of Fellini’s 8 1/2 I thought we’d get some Rota-esque music from Elfman.

    I speak for us all when I say that this is far more promising…

    Sounds very cool.

    Side note: I work at Disneyland, and apparently Tim Burton was there visiting in my area yesterday, and I MISSED HIM! It made me very sad.
