Reported from ANN. This was reported a few years back on CAA, but then there was nothing about it untill now.

The promotional cover wrapper on the 14th and final volume (released on Wednesday) of Yasuhiro Nightow's Trigun Maximum manga has revealed a 2009 opening for the previously announced Trigun theatrical animation project. The tentatively titled "Trigun the Movie" project will feature a completely original story from Nightow and Trigun series director Satoshi Nishimura (Hajime no Ippo/Fighting Spirit, Shin Cho Bakumatsu Shonen Seiki Takamaru), as well as a script by Yasuko Kobayashi (Claymore, Shakugan no Shana, Witchblade anime). Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Jubei-chan - Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch, Ninja Scroll series) will return from the Trigun television series to design the characters that Madhouse will animate. The manga's cover wrapper indicates the story will be about "Vash vs. Wolfwood," the two main characters of the popular manga.

The possibility of a Trigun movie first arose over two years ago in an interview with Madhouse founder Masao Maruyama and later at Tokyo Anime Fair 2006.

I've been waiting so long for an update on the trigun movie *cries* They can take my money now, I just want to see the movie!

Interesting. I wonder how this idea of "Vash vs. Wolfwood" will line up with the anime's plot. At any rate, having seen the anime in its entirety, I will definitely have to see this.

It would depend though if it ever gets over here and if they can get Johnny Yong Bosch to revise his role as Vash in the dubbed version wheter or not I would want to even see it.I can't see anyone else being picked to play Vash in the movie if it is ever dubbed into English.

What I'm wondering is who'd carry it now? Geneon no longer exists, for all intents and purposes.

In the USA Geneon doesn't exist, but Geneon Japan is still around. So they can still carry it, but as for who will carry it in the US, that is another question.

Finally some more news on this. It seemed it was about as dead as the live action EVA for a while.

[Kurama]

That Is So Darn Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[KagayakiWashi]

I wonder if it would follow the manga or the anime? Hopefully the anime, because that seemed to lack closure.

It seemed it was about as dead as the live action EVA for a while.

::Sighs:: Did you HAVE to mention that? I nearly forgot all about it Still waiting ADV Films....what's the hold up WETA House...

Anyway, as long as they get Johnny Bosch and Jeff Nimoy back in their respective roles, and the storyline makes some sort of logical sense, I'm happy.
