trailers + music = awesome

So it looks like another cool CGI movie coming this fall: "9". Tim Burton's name is attached to it, as producer, although it isn't his story this time. Apparently based on a short film by Shane Acker (who also directs the feature-length version), it certainly looks like something from the mind of the ever-creepy Burton, at least judging by the trailer I've seen so far. I urge you to go watch it, since I think it's one of the better trailers I've seen this year. The song playing over the short clip is "Welcome Home" by Coheed and Cambria, a song I was unfamilar with until Rock Band came along and included in the tracklist. Now both Jenny and I are fans of the song, if not the artist, (honestly, I haven't tried listening to any more of their work). Either way, I think it works perfect with the dark tone that "9" seems to be exuding. Some trailers just have perfect music, even if that music generally doesn't make it into the final film, there's just something about an awesome trailer to get some chills down your spine. Here are some other examples, this trailer for Sin City or this one for Watchmen.
