DISQUS

Does this means that Samurai Jack has more chance in being made? Cause knowing that will make my day happier

Fred Seibert · 2 months ago

Arthur, I think the chances of Jack being made are really good regardless of this deal (though, it couldn't hurt). Genndy's a superstar, but you already knew that, and JJ Abrams, our co-producer, well you already know him too.

Indeed, Is just that something that I like is having a feature film and done right is just too good to be true! Especially this days where everything from decades ago is being turn into a live action film.

Great news! You guys have come a real long way since 1998.

...Wait, what did this say about Fanboy? First, it said it was premiering in May, then it said it's still in October. Which is it? I hope it's still in October, because I don't think I can last that many more months.

Fred Seibert · 2 months ago

There'll be a sneak preview in October (don't tell anyone) and an official premiere in November. It's coming!

Oh, thank goodness! For some wierd reason, it feels like a "Fall premiere" show, anyway. Also, I find that shows that get sneak previews do better for some reason.

I just got the Animation Magazine mailer, congratulations, Fred! I can't wait to see what you and, indeed, the entire animation industry will do with this opportunity.

In Italy, there's an animation studio called Laterna Magica:http://www.lanternamagica.it/index.php?p=3&sp=1

They made some of the best independent animated movies ever made, its best one is The Blue Arrow which was released in the US by Disney/Miramax as How The Toys Saved Christmas:http://disneydvd.disney.go.com/how-the-toys-saved-christmas.html

I'm thinking that if Samurai Jack and the features distributed by Sony are box office hits and are critically acclaimed, you might become "the American Laterna Magica".

Fred,

I think the Samurai Jack movie should look like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZEyGRHU7mg

Feature-quality animation, epic sequences and a really good rock song. This anime movie, based on the wildly popular manga One Piece, has everything!

Fred Seibert · 1 month ago

Liam, I'll pass this along to Genndy. But, I can assure you, Jack will look like nothing else in the movies, and better.

liamscanlan · 1 week ago
