The Tim Burton produced feature film of Shane Acker's "9" has some brilliant actors involved including Elijah Wood(main character), Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly, and Martin Landau. Shane will be directing.

EDIT: Does anyone know who is developing/producing the film? Last time I spoke with Shane, they were looking around Prague as a possible location.

Thanks, guys.

Variety also gives some info on who they're playing:
Besides Wood's 9, the rag doll community includes a domineering war veteran (Christopher Plummer), an aged inventor (Landau), brave warrior (Connelly), mechanic (Reilly) and visionary (Glover). Each character goes by a numeral.

Glover as "visionary" sounds like a lot of fun.

Coming Soon (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=19457) lists some of the key members in the voice cast for Shane Acker’s animated epic 9. Voicing the title role will be Elijah Wood, who joins fellow thespians Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and John C. Reilly for the motion picture. 9 “takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A community of fully mobile rag dolls living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Wood), displaying leadership qualities that may help them to survive. The conflicted but resilient community includes 1 (Plummer), a domineering war veteran; 2 (MLandau), an aged inventor; 5 (Reilly), a stalwart mechanic; 6 (Glover), a visionary and artist; and 7 (Connelly), a brave warrior.”
