It's already all over the internets by now, but for completeness sake, a Haruhi movie has been officially announced to be released in the Spring of 2010 (might be right during my Japan 2010 trip ^^). It will be the much awaited fan-favorite arc: The Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi, which was though to be in the second season. The story revolves a lot around Nagato Yuki and will feature a long-haired Haruhi. The long-haired Haruhi was used a promotion picture for the second season but has thus been postponed for the movie.

Let's just hope the people who thought up the 8-episode Endless Eight arc have been sacked and no more surprises will be come up, but knowing what we've seen in the past, the movie might just as well be released Spring 2011. But I still have hope :-)

Update: The movie supposed to be more than 2 hours long, that's almost 6 regular episodes!
