Just a Few More Months

From AWN:

Sony Pictures has announced that AKIRA director Katsuhiro Otomo’s new film STEAMBOY will be released in U.S. theaters on March 18, 2005. The film is the most expensive anime feature ever produced at $20 million and began production in 1995. Financial issues have plagued the production. The film screened at both the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals. Set in Victorian England, the retro sci-fi epic follows how a powerful new energy source changes the “Age of Steam.”

    its ok
    hey there chinny,
    i saw steamboy a few weeks ago and its pretty good. It looks amazing but the characters and plot are not as developed as akira. i think Otomo spent much of the 10 years researching old england and steam. I'd watch it again just to see the visuals.
    really worth seeing at the cinema though,
