Beyond the Clouds not licensed afterall

According to a news report on Anime News Network, last weekend’s news of ADV acquiring Makoto Shinkai’s ‘The Place Promised In Our Early Days’ for a worldwide theatrical release has turned out to be false.

ADV have stated; “It seems this is a classic case of an imprecise communication spawning an inaccurate conclusion– namely that ADV had indeed acquired the film. ADV has not.” For more information on this mix-up, you can read ADV’s full statement over at Anime News Network.
