Coheed and Cambria's single “Welcome Home,” from their 2005 album, "Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1” has been featured in the new Tim Burton/ Shane Acker animated film “9.”
The film is scheduled for release in theaters March 9, 2009. The guys stated in a press release recently "We are really pleased about this, as we aren’t just a part of something we don’t believe in for the sake of a bigger audience, we are psyched about this movie! We are all fans of Tim Burton, and Shane Acker’s original short entitled “9”, was brilliant, and even Timur Bekmambetov of “Wanted” is a producer on this movie. So obviously we are really proud to be on the trailer."
