So do you think that there will be a theatrical release?
If there's no Last Order OVA with this release then when will we see it?

They might have a screening or two in LA and New York as a publicity thing but don't expect anything resembling even a limited roll-out.
I'm kinda surprised they didn't pay for celebrity voice talent. Mena Suevari I assume simply recorded the lines while doing her Kingdom Hearts II dialogue, and she's the only really recognizable talent on that list.

Crisping's better than deep frying or baking.

Why was Advent Children delayed for so long? Its a shame because Sony missed out on the Holiday rush (would have sold more). Now many fans, who would have bought the DVD, decided to just import from Japan or download the fansubbed version.

What I find funny is this: Cloud Strife as Steve Burton, I was unaware Steve Burton was a FF character to begin with. Shouldn't someone pointout that error to these people? I am in the midst of trying to dl the sub version of this movie as I LOVED FFVII, and am ecstatic that Aerith is on the movie, can't wait to see what role she plays in the movie. The dub cast looks like it'll kick some major @$$.

Anyone have any idea if Sony is including the Japanese Audio track for this movie?

I dont touch anything KH with a 39.5 foot pole so thats not actually a "good" way to hype something thats turned me off from buying it due to the usually-not-like-square-but-starting-to-be delays.

DVD, almost certainly yes.
UMD, probably, since the Cowboy Bebop movie UMD also has Japanese.

Let me get this straight: you don't like Kingdom Hearts so timing this movie to release alongside one of the bestselling video game franchises in recent history is a bad marketing decision.
Some of you people live in universes you are the exact center of.
Also, the number of people who have downloaded this film will be greatly eclipsed by the number of people who will buy the DVD. Almost three times as many people watch Naruto every week on TV compared to the average number of downloads per episode and yet fans on the internet still predicted doom for the show since "so many fans download it nobody will watch it on TV!". Believe it or not, vocal fans on the internet who download anime are not the only people in the country interested in this stuff nor are they the only targeted consumer.
Final Fantasy VII was one of the best-selling games of all time and remains popular. This is a big-budget CG action movie with recognizable characters from an extremely profitable franchise. It's money in the bank no matter how many internet fans have already pilfered it.

$26.96 for the special edition? Is that correct? That's so low!
This dub is looking pretty kick ass so far. Spike's VA as Vincent, Jet's as Barret, same voice for Cloud as in KH. Pretty tight.
