The London-based film sales company GFM Films reports that it is working on an English dub for Toei's Captain Harlock computer-graphics film. The website notes that the international version of the film is in post-production.
The website has posted the full script for the English dub, as well as a password-protected promotional video, which will screen at France's Cannes Film Festival on May 15-26. The website also features English character introductions, an image gallery, and a preview for an upcoming figure release by Square Enix for the company's PlayArts line. Hot Toys is also planning 1/6-scale figures of Harlock, Kei, and the Arcadia ship. According to the website, the figures will be shown at Square Enix's San Diego Comic-Con International booth along with the film's trailer.
A quote from filmmaker James Cameron promoting the film is included on the site's front page. Cameron's involvement in the international version is not confirmed.
The film will star actors Shun Oguri and Haruma Miura in the Japanese version, and will open in Japan on September 7.
