As Plunderbird said "Critics might as well call it, the kid's version of The Schindler's list" I don't think that it is appropriate to have a kids film set during such a dark time in history, as talk of it might upset the kids, what with all the families being separated and deaths, I doubt that any deaths would have been in the film, but still families being seperated does sound a bit too upsetting for a kids film such as Thomas's IMO.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069647144504926060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-73364672959870813822013-09-04T08:21:41.782+01:002013-09-04T08:21:41.782+01:00Whether you know already or not, apparently the &q...Whether you know already or not, apparently the "cancellation" was quoted back in February and since then, the director changed his mind and decided to get started on it.

Someone, believed to be Director Shane Acker, announced on February 21st, 2013 that the film has been cancelled due to "lack of interest". However, HiT Entertainment have said there is "no definitive confirmation on the project's status at this time". It is currently unknown whether or not the film is still going ahead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367796608265154116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-36823354852686397332013-08-03T01:27:41.037+01:002013-08-03T01:27:41.037+01:00I think all SIF's blog post did was take thing...I think all SIF's blog post did was take things back to the way things were before the comment was found: no one knows what's happened to it :PChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256608035072085353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-80668416112742165652013-08-02T23:51:44.762+01:002013-08-02T23:51:44.762+01:00And SiF has confirmed that the movie's status ...And SiF has confirmed that the movie's status is unconfirmed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456902348072755782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941188284965945680.post-38301703980775602132013-07-31T16:25:53.235+01:002013-07-31T16:25:53.235+01:00Again, this may be all rumors, and to be honest, I...Again, this may be all rumors, and to be honest, I am now confused.

We decided to continue with the film as planned, and scheduled release is in October of 2015.<br />As a little teaser, fans can expect some long awaited returns and the introduction of a very “devious” diesel.

Then again, if the first 10 episodes of Series 17 are anything to go by, we could be seeing more Railway Series references/influences return to the TV series, which would be ideal.
