Final Fantasy The Movie not enough for ya? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
The film, getting ready to be launched in the summer of 2001 through a joint venture with Columbia Pictures, is now going to be simply the first of many to come. At least three more motion pictures have been scheduled through an extended agreement between Square and Columbia. A well-known fact to the Square fan that they don't ever seem to 'final fantasy'.
As a quick update on Square's progress with the Final Fantasy movie itself, the total amount spent has risen from 70 million to 115 million dollars. Square's even selling stocks and bonds to cover investment and production costs in Japan, like a typical company in the stock market here. Square will be doing this to generate the money for the development and production of these other three movies.
Will these next three movies be Square or Final Fantasy related? Or will they simply be awesome, rendered, original pictures? We'll keep you posted.
