What year was it planned to have been released in?


Was it ever mentioned? It would be interesting to know what films it would have been up against at the box-office had it been made.

Interesting question. From what I remember on the documentary, they started Pre-Production and script in 1973 or 1974, and since Jodo wanted a massive film that would have had about 20 hours long, it would have taken about 3 years to shoot. I am thinking around 1976 or 1977, so it would have gone up against Star Wars: A New Hope, i think.
