The first movie has 2020 release date? Yeah, I'll believe it when I see a trailer. Also, is it a smart move ending the trilogy with the least interesting character of the trio? Anyway, since this will be under Gainax who has become an empty husk of its former self, I will not expect much in hope that I can be pleasantly surprised later.

I hadn't even heard of this until now. I can't say I'm expecting much either.

Not sure if I can expect much from Gainax nowadays; at least Harlock is slated for 2023, can't say I will be able to stay excited until 2026.

There are some news from the movie's twitter account:

"We would like to express our deepest condolences on the passing of the great author Leiji Matsumoto.

Due to various circumstances, the progress of the Zero Century Emeraldas project, which was entrusted to us by Matsumoto sensei, has been delayed due to various reasons, but we are still working hard so that everyone will be able to see it.

Even Matsumoto Sensei was looking forward to see the Leijiverse animated with the modern techniques, and we are filled with regret that we were not to be able to show it to him.

We will continue to do our best to follow Matsumoto sensei's will, so please continue to support us.

The staff of Zero Century Emeraldas".
