6/23/02 -- Cowboy Bebop: The Movie?! Goddamnit. . . - From Anime News Service:

Daniel has obtained the following from the Egyptian Theater (Hollywood) Catalog:

The Cowboy Bebop movie will be showing Sunday August 11 at 5 p.m. at the Egyptian theater in Hollywood. As mentioned earlier, the title has been changed from "Knockin On Heaven's Door" to simply "Cowboy Bebop: The Movie". It will be presented in Japanese with subtitles. Running time seems to be 120 minutes, which is around the same time as Jonah's R2 version; thus no content should be edited post-9/11 as rumoured. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the original in raw or fansubbed format, and I can't make it to see this version. Therefore, if there's anyone else who has seen the film and who can make it, feel free to do so and report on anything that could be edited. (such as the rumoured Yoko Kanno music).

I second the motion; if anyone makes it to this showing, please, please take notes and send in a report. As for Yoko Kanno's music being edited, personally I'm not a bit worried about it. I saw the original "report" about that on AICN; the story was full of holes and the source was far from reliable. It does seem to be the case that they're renaming the film to "the movie" instead of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", though. >_< Thanks to Roger Smith for pointing out this news to me.

God, once again Hollywood screws up a good thing. I really wish I could call up whoever is in charge of domesticating this movie and fire their ass for screwing the fans out of what they want.
