Voice Added to Animated Sci-Fi
Several actors have been hired to voice the rolls of rag dolls in 9, a sci-fi animated adventure from Focus Features. Elijah Wood leads the group as the title character (each doll has a number for a name) who rallies the others to survive in a postapocalyptic world. Others include Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer and John C. Reilly. Director Shane Acker is expanding the project from his Oscar-nominated 2005 short.
