Last Exile Film's February 6 Date, Newly Animated Sequences Revealed
Dialogue also partly re-recorded for compilation film
The December issue of Gakken's Animedia magazine is reporting more details on Gekijō-ban Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam Over the wishes (Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing- the Movie: Over the wishes") on Tuesday. The film will recompile the original Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing- television series with 500 shots of newly animated or reshot footage, as well as some of the dialogue recorded again. The film will open throughout Japan on February 6, 2016.
Eirin, the Film Classification and Rating Committee in Japan, listed the film as one hour and 59 minutes long from the distributor Tōkȳu Recreation.
Eirin's listing describes the story: the Sky Pirate Fam and Millia (the princess who Fam rescued as her Turan Kingdom faced devastation) wage a battle against the Ades Federation that reduced Turan to ashes, and aim to establish a revived Turan Kingdom.
Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing- takes place two years after the original Last Exile. Humanity has returned to Earth after an exile that lasted generations, and the only nation that remained on Earth during the exile is now waging war on those that have returned. The story follows sky pirates Fam and Giselle, who rescue a princess and join her in saving her kingdom and bringing about peace.
The series premiered in 2011. Funimation Entertainment streamed the series as it aired in Japan and released the series on home video with an English dub.
