Mr. Jamie Bautista answers queries about a future compilation and a future movie. Under the cut.
About creating a compilation of the major CAST comic panels. I asked if he would make it 2 volumes, one for the Ronin Core set and another for the Arre/Soriano set.
The chances of this happening: pretty good. Though it won't happen
for a while, most likely not released in the way people expect, and
probably only half in the way you suggested. What do I mean? You'll
see... :-)
Regarding any live rendering of the CAST material (movie, TV show, etc.):
I know I've told you several times that I really didn't want to see
Cast in another media locally, but things may change. As you may
know, Arnold has his Andong Agimat being developed into a movie or TV
series by Unitel Pictures. They're shopping it around in the US for
investors. Depending on how well things go for Arnold with Andong [Agimat], it may change my mind about shopping Cast around to local productions.
Who knows, Arnold may even be able to help get Cast known with his new film connections. So I'm leaving the door open since I believe in
Arnold and if he thinks he can have his works faithfully done by local productions, that'll be enough for me.
If you don't know yet, Arnold Arre's Andong Agimat story will have a movie in the near future. Let's all hope it actually turns out decent.
As for those of you who might want to make fanfics for Cast, he's cool about it, so bring it on. Although it may be wise to wait for Issue 12 first.
Finally, he's encouraging that this LJ comm stay around for whatever they may have planned. Let's all hope he gets time and opportunity to do those plans.
