So, during my lengthy absence, have there been any announcements of a new book? Movie? Video game? Anything?
Certainly there is no Redwall Videogame, since I read somewhere that Brian Jacques refused to give the rights to some company to make one for some reason I cannot remember. Other than that, there is nothing new. There is just the 22 books in the series and that 3 season TV series..

What a pity that the older generations can't appreciate the beauty of novelty. But Brian doesn't own the Redwall IP anymore does he? I would expect his sons do...
At least someone in his family owns the rights....
I hear that Brian Jacques finished another novel, but didn't announce it. Do you know if that is True?
Actually, I believe Brian Jacques felt he created Redwall and had the right to decide what was done with it.
If you haven't already seen Astral's topic (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=356.0)though, he's creating a game of Redwall.
He finished a novel and DID announce it.
It is known today as The Rogue Crew.

I mean after The Rogue crew. I heard that He finished another one after that before he died of course.
He said he wrote during late spring into summer.
If he kept to that the years after that was posted in Ask Brian, then there is no chance.
As it is, I seriously doubt there could be anything more, I would assume we would have heard of it by now.
So it appears that, disregarding fan projects, the series is now defunct.
That is kind of sad. I am really going to miss this series. It was the first book series that I ever Liked to read.

Same here. But his legacy will live on no doubt!
The Redwall Wiki have announced "The Redwall Answers". It seems quite interesting (http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:LordTBT/News:Announcing_Redwall_Answers).
Also, there is a new rumour of a Redwall movie.
http://redwall.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:LordTBT/News:Perhaps_a_Redwall_movie_is_coming
http://redwallmovie.com/
Redwall Answers has an interesting backstory, and one I don't want to go into.
And that movie is likely fake. The Miller brothers are developing a movie of one of their books. Why they put something like that up, who knows.
Though a license was supposedly getting close to release by the Redwall Abbey Co. and denied to the deviantart group Redwall Animation.
Wayne Thomas Batson however revealed to me that he "can't reveal too many details", but that this "could be huge." in response to the Miller brothers making a Redwall movie.
Not sure what to think of that.
The Miller brothers however removed their name from that site after they were first contacted.
It would be interesting to see if he had made any notes about storylines he wanted to write, songs or riddles to use, character development, etc.
redwall movie?? redwall videogame??
this is over my head
. hope there is videogame or movie
A movie would be pretty exciting, but in a way I don't know if I would want a movie. A lot of books that are made into movies can ruin the book and the series.
I think we should stick to the books, fanfictions, and forums. A video game would ruin it in my mind, a movie would be more interesting. It depends on what book

I agree about the Videogame potentially ruining the book, however a movie is a really exciting idea. However, I would like a TV Series better, due to the fact that they could add more material that was in the Book.
That's why I liked the TV series as much as I did, it had enough time to tackle the important events to remain faithful without rushing anything. Given how important Rose appears to be to the "Martin the Warrior" storyline, it wouldn't do to race to the finish. You want to care for Martin and Rose's friendship, makes it that much more powerful in the end. As for a Redwall movie, I'll believe it when I see it. There's been so many false starts that I can't be excited for one anymore. Given how protective Brian was over his franchise, perhaps they've just been waiting for a movie pitch that really nails it (it'd be a tough act to do better than the TV series).
There are rumors of Brian having worked on another book before his death, something called Pondicherry. Not sure if it was meant to be a Redwall book or not, but people think it is.
But hey, over 20 novels and three TV seasons, that's quite a sizable collection, and if the series were to end for good, that's not a bad note to leave on.
I believe the correct number of Books was Twenty-two, including The Rogue Crew. You can only wish that someone legally creates a TV series or even a Movie in the near future.
According to something a friend of mine saw on twitter the Miller Bros are up to something ???
I do not want a Redwall video game. That would totally ruin everything.

The Miller Brothers have been allegedly (and far from ready to acknowledge) working on some secret Redwall-related project for many months. The author Wayne Thomas Batson is supposedly in with this as well, or at least knows about it.
If Wayne Batson is on on this, it's gonna be EPIC!
I know right?
