I've been wondering about this. I don't know about Akira Takahashi, but I remember that Ykie Sako was chosen via audition. I believe they did one for the movies, otherwise it wouldn't take im this long to announce the new designer. This also mean she has already submitted designs. Maybe not finalized, but at least a concept. If they simply decided to hire her based on her past work it makes no sence to wait 2 years to order them at least. If the designes or even just concepts are ready, how long do u think will take them revealing them and key visual. I remember Season 1 key visual was unvailed at least 4 months before the premier, although the designs themselves were released much later. The same happened for Season 3. Considering movies usually have longger promotion campaigne than tv series, can we at least hope for a key visual this decade? Sorry, I meant year. If they have concept art they could at least reveak that and make people at least a bit excited for what is comming. If they are going to wait till next Usagi birthday of that nobody would remember about the movie at all. A scenario similar to Rose of Versailles Movie, where they simply let people forget instead of officially admit it was scrapped, worries me a lot.
