So the Trigun movie isn't cancelled after all

From Heiseidemocracy: Via Moon Phase Diary: The promotional dust jacket cover (”obi”) from volume 14 of the Trigun Maximum manga [AA] brings the news that a Trigun animated feature film is currently in production! It will feature an original story developed by manga author Yasuhiro Nightow and director Nishimura Satoshi who collaborated with Nightow on the Trigun TV series and is also known for his work on the Hajime no Ippo anime. The script will be helmed by veteran anime writer Kobayashi Yasuko, with character designs from Yoshimura Takahiro (an unknown?) and animation production from Madhouse. The tagline reads: “Vash vs. Wolfwood?! The familiar characters erupt on screen in an all-original Trigun story!”

I'm torn by "ooh shiny" and "meh, this is just gonna be a random shonen fight sequence."

Please be based on anime, please be based on anime, please be based on anime...

Close to your feelings on it. Though I can say that this early in the game, who knows what the actual plot will look like? Considering how much scripts change from draft to finish, if they haven't gotten very far in storyboarding yet, the tagline could be very different what ultimately appears on-screen.
