I read a live action version was announced, but they haven't made much progress so who knows if it'll ever come out.
They are re-releasing the animated version Can't wait!! The Last Unicorn was one of my fav cartoons as a kid.

So the live action version rummer was true! But it just might not actually come out, huh? That stinks. I hope they finish it!! Maybe they will make more progress with it if the turn outs from the re-release of the animated version goes well. *crossing fingers*
Thanks so much Dollhands for giving the link!! I am super excited about the animated version coming out in 3D!! That will be sooo Cool!! Not to mention that they are adding a few new scenes! Yay!! I can't wait!! But from the sound of it, it may be in select movie theaters? Is that what you gather too?
Yes :/ This is what it said on wikipedia:
"Continent Films
In addition, a live-action adaptation of the original book has been announced as in development for several years, but it is not clear what progress (if any) has been made towards production. A minor controversy erupted in 2005 over the producers' plans to create their screen unicorn by filming trained horses and then using CGI to modify them. This runs directly counter to the physical description of the unicorn in the book, which explicitly states that the unicorn looks nothing at all like "a horned horse".
In February 2006, Continent Films unveiled a new official website for the project which made clear that the film was still in development.[7] It was not yet funded, did not have a shooting script, and had not been cast. In the new website, all actor names but Christopher Lee's had been removed; and even Lee's involvement was revealed to be nothing more than a promise to appear in the film if he was available and if terms could be worked out with his agent."
So at this point, doesn't look very likely.
No worries, happy to help
Me too, I am so looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
By the sound of it they are having special screenings of the film in certain countries, and the author Peter S Beagle will be at every one to answer questions, meet people and sign autographs. Then later it will be released worldwide for everyone in 2D and 3D. Woohoo!
