That weird cyborg bug with the decoy/lure creeps me the hell out, and I don't rate 7's chances very highly in its grasp. In case you missed our earlier coverage of this film, 9 takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans are gone, but we've left behind nine mechanical ragdolls, named 1 through 9. And they're struggling to survive against a host of killer robots. The newest ragdoll is named 9 (Elijah Wood), and he asks a bunch of questions the other dolls have long since stopped asking, about their world and the way it's organized.

9 opens on Sept. 9 (or 9/9/09). And by the way, we reported a while back that another movie, called Nine, was also slated to come out on that date. The other film seems to have blinked (nine times, even) and now will come out

You remember we posted the trailer for 9 recently — it's an expanded version of Shane Acker's awesome short film, about rag dolls that get chased through a junkyard by a mechanical monster. The feature-length version, produced by Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton, will explain how the rag dolls came to be and explore how humanity's legacy carries on after humans are no more. Here's that trailer again:

Meanwhile, NIne is a film starring Daniel Day-Lewis as famous film director Guido Contini, who tries to balance his work and his various relationships with his wife, his muse, his agent and his mother. And it's a musical, apparently.

It seems somewhat unlikely that there would be two movies named 9 (or Nine) coming out the same year. But website Film Releases, which tracks release dates, claims they're both coming out on Sept. 9, 2009. (It makes a certain sense. If you have a movie called 9, wouldn't you put it out on 9/9/09?)

Let's hope one of these films budges, and maybe even changes its title into the bargain. (For what it's worth, IMDB says Day-Lewis' Nine is actually coming out Dec. 11. But I find Film Releases more reliable than IMDB, when it comes to release dates.)

Produced by GITCorp, the DVD will include PDF versions of more than 500 different Star Trek comics from Gold Key's original 1967 series all the way through to DC/Wildstorm's early 21-century efforts (IDW and Tokyopop's more recent series won't be included, but are still in print for you to read the old-fashioned way):

Each issue is being scanned by the company, cover to cover, including all of the advertising, and stored in individual PDF archives. GITCorp is using an interface similar to their prior DVD comic collections to access the PDFs in the collection. The DVDs can be used on both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Putting together a collection spanning four decades has not been an easy task, especially due to the fact that Trek comics have been produced by so many different publishers over the years. According to Ray Pelosi from GITCorp, it has been a daunting to get all the comics and to sort out all the licensing issues required to bring it to market and he thanks CBS Products for all the help they provided to make it all happen.

As someone who still has a deep and abiding love for Peter David's run on the DC series in the early '90s, the idea of being able to re-read all of those issues (and try and get past by fear of Pablo Marcos' art on the Next Generation series of the same period) for $50 is more than a little tempting, I have to admit. Is it too late for me to start believing in Santa again?
