Lady Death Animated Movie Update

Andy Orjuela of ADV Films revealed to Comics2Film that progress on the Lady Death Animated movie is progressing steadily, but slowly. The film is currently still in its storyboarding phase. “We’re getting storyboards on a daily basis from Japan. Chaos [Comics] is reviewing the storyboards,” Orjuela said. “We’re going over fine details and streamlining the process. It’s a slow and tedious process.”

The project was announced in August of 1999 with a targeted release date of Halloween 2001. While AD Vision still expects to release the film this year, the tentative Halloween release is being kept very flexible, based somewhat on evolving plans for the movie. “Ideally what we’d like to do, as opposed to sending this straight to video, is to have it in a broadcast ready format instead and maybe do a cable release. So basically we’ve just switched gears on the entire movie. The budget has increased, and we’ve gotten additional funding. So it looks like it can be bigger, badder and better! We don’t want to rush anything,” Orjuela said.
