From what I've read (all 9 Light Novels and the preview of the 10th), I can infer that we probably won't see a third season in 2011. The reason why? Intrigues, the seventh book, and the direct sequel to Disappearance is the longest book in the series. Because it serves as a direct sequel to Disappearance it would be ideal for serving as the setting of the Second movie of the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise, but there are issues with that. The biggest issue is that without Intrigues there isn't enough material left (not counting the 9th book) for a 3rd season. If they were to throw Intrigues in, there would probably be too much material (Intrigues is long, not Harry Potter long, but long for a Light Novel and the longest book in the series) for said 3rd season. So the most likely is that they announce a series of OVA's that will at first lead into an announcement on Intrigues, then after Intrigues comes out on Blu-ray/DVD they'll announce a couple OVA's that will cover the 8th book and buy time for Tanigawa to write enough material for a "proper" 3rd season.

Also, only the prologue is a sequel to Disappearance: the rest of the book follows another short story, The Melancholy of Mikuru Asahina. If they were to make another 28-episode season they could easily cover the remaining stories from Vols. 5-10. |

The big action scene, unlike Disappearance's final scenes, is NOT worth sitting through two hours of slice-of-life. Not for a movie. It's just not. |

While I see your point about the new school year, I think vol. 8 would be much better to kick off a new season. Imagine this: The third season just ended on the finale of Intrigues, and the next starts out with Haruhi shouting "REJECTED!" What's not to like?

I'll agree that Intrigues probably won't be seen as being quite as good as Disappearance, the tone in Intrigues is very different and admittedly not quite as good for a movie, though I would disagree with your dismissal about the movie being boring because it's mostly slice-of-life, a lot happens in those first two hours before the action scene. |

Anyway, KyoAni has too much burden on her hands. =P
1. Nichijou 2. (Possible) Full Metal Panic sequel 3. (Possible ~maybe~) Lucky Star Season 2 (onegai shimasu!) 4. Haruhi Season 3 damn. I really wish for 3 and 4. I don't know about 1 and 2. =P

Intrigues as a movie would be the equivalent of the second season to Disappearance's first. The audience's reaction would probably be, "Yeah, and? ...Oh, that's it, isn't it. Yep, that's all there is. Well, at least it looked sharp."
There's some suspense, sure, but it's FAR milder than in Disappearance. There's (arguably) some character development, but it's more along the lines of "This person's faction is more involved than you suspected," instead of "Holy balls you guys the two characters you thought you knew are actually completely torn by internal conflict and are both literally involved in changing the world as you know it." There's some action, but instead of, "OH GEEZ WHY IS THERE A KNIFE POINT COMING OUT OF MY STOMACH" it's Mikuru going, "baww save me." Intrigues, in my mind, is the equivalent of the Sigh arc. Does it have some necessary plot elements? Sure, why not. Are there a couple of high points? Yeah, I'll give them that much. Would it be decidedly underwhelming as a movie? You'd better believe it.

And I generally agree that the movie would somewhat like the second season(assuming they cut out the prologue into a separate OVA): starting off with a bang, the middle being a long drag that relies heavily on fanservice to keep the audience interested, with a strong ending that manages to make up for (though not completely) for the somewhat boring middle part. |

Not sure how a car chase is supposed to compare with reality warping and the near-death of the main perspective character. Dramatically it's weaker and action-wise it's also weaker. While it does eventually set up the grounds for future arcs, I find Intrigues to be the least memorable and interesting of the main story segments. While it could be a decent series, I don't think it really deserves a movie.

I don't think that an author takes this long to put out the 10th volume of a long-running light novel series unless he's ran into a rather nasty writer's block. While wrapping everything up in Volume 10 would likely make it feel very rushed and possibly dissatisfying, it might well be that Tanigawa is just running out of ideas. Awesome sales. Good to see Disappearance sell so well on BluRay.
