Well, I never thought that it would ever happen, but it appears that there's a live action adaptation of the series Last Exile in the making. A piece of concept art was leaked on the internet, but removed from most of the sites where is was shown after the creators asked to remove it. Apparently that was this summer.
I was pretty surprised when I read that there was actually a live action in the making, because the last time when there was some news about this project was in 2005. So maybe, just maybe...Last Exile the movie in 2010/2011?

Btw, I found 1 site where the art work still can be seen http://www.moviesense.nl/2009/07/eerste-concept-art-last-exile-verfilming/
