The movie will hit US theatres on July 11th . There are two versions available, the normal version and the deluxe, the latter of which comes with all sorts of extra goodies including several interviews. Animeigo is working on the authoring process for release in the US but is being mysterious as to the exact date. Director Hiroaki Gouda says it deals with why the goddesses come to Earth to meet Keiichi and will include appearances from the goddess Peorth and the mortal Chihiro, among others. He also insists that the movie will have good character development and lots of action, things he felt the OAV lacked.
