Excerpts from mailing list:
*The theatrical release of "Laputa" in the US *might* be difficult (In that case, it will be video released as "Kiki" was). It will be released on DVD in June 2002 in Japan.
*"Nausicaa" will be theatrically released in Korea on Dec. 16. This is the first time that a Ghibli film is released in Korean theaters.
*"Yamadas" is most likely to be released in France in next spring.
*Trailer of "Sen to Chihiro" [Ghibli's current project] (30 seconds) will be shown in Japanese theaters (Toho franchise), starting on Dec. 16.
*Mononoke stamps will not be issued [in Japan as part of a previously announced commemorative stamp project] since Ghibli did not agree to the project. It was the mistake on the part of the Postal Agency to publicize the project before getting Ghibli's consent.
