Following up from our previous post, our good source is back to let us know that Scholastic is indeed planning on going ahead with the re-release of Animorphs! However, to clear up any confusion, our source tells us that the re-release will only be for ‘Animorphs Classic‘ (the current series), and that it is estimated to be released (with new covers) around Spring 2012. Official Date TBA.
Now the bad news: It seems that Animorphs 2.0 is currently on hold, pending review. Apparently Scholastic will also be using the re-release of Animorphs Classic as a way to determine whether to go ahead with Animorphs 2.0. This means that they’ll be looking at both the fan reception and the sales of this release to see if a new series will be profitable enough to pursue.
No further news on how the Classic re-release will be handled, aside from the fact that they’re supposed to have new covers. It’s far too early to tell whether the series will have new artwork, be bundled into volumes, or have any editorial changes be made to them (as some of you have suggested). Rest assured though that we here at Hirac Delest will let you know as soon as we hear about it ourselves!
That about sums it up for that bit of news. As a side note, I also want to let you guys know that I’ve updated the side link for our Facebook page (on the right). If you haven’t done so already, then ‘Become a Fan’ of Hirac Delest on Facebook. All of our updates, like this, will now be posted directly on to your news feed to let you know that we’ve updated!
Until Next Time! 🙂

As long as Katherine and Michael are involved in any retooling/sequels I’ll definitely be interested.

Wouldn’t that be “two lousy EARTH years”? 😉
Just remember that the 2012 date is only the ETA. The Official Date is still TBA (To-Be-Announced). It could very well be released earlier (hopefully not farther :x).

I look forward to seeing the movie 2012? this weekend. The CGI looked great. Maybe the story and acting won’t be up to par for everyone but the 6 bucks I’ll be paying for the matinee…. well… I think it will be well worth the price for the big special effects alone.
