Tokyo Godfathers had a trailer for the movie, though I'm pretty sure that I doesn't have a release date given

I wanna see it to!

When I was in Tokyo recently, Steamboy was getting promoted big-time, and it still hadn't been released. It is now in theaters in Japan.

The premise is that, in the late 19th-century, the movie's main character inherits a "steamball", a device capable of storing and transporting steam energy. The movie tells of the good-versus-evil powers that will stop at nothing (*evil laugh*) to get a hold of this technology.

I've seen various trailers, and the animation looks top-notch.

I have heard that the theatrical release in the U.S. and Europe will be this Fall.

I love steampunk! This is steampunk by the looks of the trailer isn't it?
I doubt it will come to Australian cinemas, but I'll have to catch it on DVD when it comes out!
