It's a bit complicated but there HAVE been attempts at creating a new
series of episodes. That was back in 1999-2001. Unfortunately the
producer couldn't find any supporting TV channels at that time, which I
think is a shame ! :o/
Then, in late 2003, his project of sequel turned into something else:
an
animated film for the cinema. It took time to gather all the rights
pertaining to the Cities of Gold (those used to belong to several
companies who didn't particularly want to do anything with them).
Now the funding for the movie is almost complete and, unless something
bad happens, the production should start anytime soon. I'll post an
announcement as soon as I learn about it.
As for the DVDs, owing to the fact that the distribution rights now
belong to the original producer, there is a good chance that there will
be a decent edition in the US accompanying the release of the movie.
This sounds exciting, but there have been many failed attempts at doing
Cities of Gold-related stuff over the past years... So I guess we'd
better wait and see what's coming !
