After nine years of patiently waiting, could it be true? Darkstar finally being released?

MSTies everywhere have eagerly awaited seeing the original cast of their favorite cow-town puppet show in their own, genuine space opera, only to be disappointed by missed release dates for some time now. Some have doubted that the project would ever be completed, but nobody stopped hoping.

While we’re not advocating holding your breath or anything, the newest information is that the project is now content-complete and is in final beta testing in Canada. Once that’s complete in January, it will be in the hands of the suit guys who will figure out when “Darkstar” will be released.

That’s where you come in. The studio would like to gather some information to help them package the product and refine their demographics prior to release. If you need to refresh your memory about the project, check out this brand new trailer. Our pal Director/Producer guy J. Allen Williams also answered a few basic questions on what the lowdown is at this point. You can read them after the jump.

Oh, and this counts as the weekend discussion thread.
