That's too bad. They were something else back in the day.
Is ADV is gone?
Hmmm.. just sounds like they are reorganizing their business structure
and splitting into multiple little companies to me....
so not technically "gone" .. more
like the name will be no more but all the players
will still be around.
So much for any hope in that live action Eva getting made!
Then again, its been in the "planning" phase for over 4 yrs now.
Not to mention the new Eva movies, one of which was
schedules to be released on dvd this year
bah!

Here's what Robert over RAC has on his blog as an update.
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Mike Baliff, formerly of ADV Films who is now heading up Sales and Marketing at the new company Section 23 Films. Section 23 has acquired all of ADV's former licenses and most of the staff (including Chris Oarr, Destiny, Michelle, everyone formerly at ADV that mattered), and is picking up publication and distribution of all former ADV titles, so the DVD's will remain available and our orders will just be processed and filled by the new company, so the changeover will be pretty much transparent to you guys. This includes pre-order items in the pipeline but not yet released. They will still be coming out, and the schedule will not change. We'll be updating our catalog over the next few days to reflect Section 23 as the new publisher of ADV's (former) titles. I also think it's worth mentioning that John Ledford is not part of the new company. Thanks very much to Mike for calling me personally to walk us through the changeover. Mike and I go back a long way, maybe 10 or 11 years, and I feel like ADV's former licences could not have fallen into better hands.
