Similar to doll face/mask used in posters 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The repetition is probably more of an advertisement tool than anything story related. Keep in mind that you wouldn't normally see all eight posters lined up like this. Woo, a ninth comment to save them!

I saw the short film this is based on nearly 4 years ago, and have been incredibly excited to see it move into the feature world. However, it's infuriating to see that Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are getting top billling. They had absolutely nothing to do with the vision and scope of this film. Shane Acker created this world on his own, and was nominated for the Best Short Film Oscar in 2006 because of it. I'm just hoping Tim and Timur both earned their Producer credits by participating in some way other than lending their names to the film's marketing campaign. I love Tim Burton's movies and he's one of my favorite Directors, but I hope that people don't associate him as this movie's filmmaker or auteur. It's looking like this has already begun to happen, and that's wrong. I absolutely can not wait to see this film.

That its trailer appeared in front of "Transformers" is promising. I can tell it will be good: having the names of Tim Burton and Focus Features linked to it pretty much guarantees it. But for a little while I was worried it would go the way of recent sci-fi CGI films starring aliens ("Battle for Terra," "Delgo"), which opened so abysmally that all of last year's bombs looked like stunning successes in comparison. But now I can see "9" having the kind of success "Coraline" had (it was also a Focus Features film). I am liking the marketing that is going on with this movie.

I usually enjoy anything that Tim Burton has a hand in. I am a little surprised Depp isnt doing a voice in this film, I do wish he was though. I am actually exremely excited about this movie!
