Do you like The Last Unicorn?
Oct. 14th, 2011 08:47 pmI subscribe to the official Peter S. Beagle newsletter, and I just got some amazing news. First, the legal disaster that was keeping him from being paid royalties on the movie is now fixed! So he is now getting paid, and they are even slowly paying him back all the money they owe him from the last 25 or so years.
Which is awesome, but more awesome is that the same legal straightening out has resulted in some other great things, including the movie having some limited re-releases in theaters! So if you want to see it on the big screen, you might get a chance! They're doing it as a theater tour, meaning that Peter S. Beagle himself will be at all of these showings. The schedule is still being made, the only theater down for certain is the Egyptian in Hollywood, where it will start, but the newsletter says that they're trying to hit every single major American city, as well as some in Canada, Great Britain, and Germany.
There's a lot of other neat stuff going on in conjunction with this as well. I can forward the full newsletter to anybody who wants a copy, but I just couldn't resist mentioning this stuff, it is way cool!
