According to Otanews, the movie of Toaru Majutsu no Index, previously announced here, was confirmed to be released in February 2013. The movie will consist of a completely original story written and illustrated by the original author, Kazuma Kamachi.

key visual of new characters (drawn by original illustrator, Kiyotaka Haimura)

Synopsis
Endymion: the space elevator of Academy City. On the day of its anticipated completion, Touma and Index encounter Alisa Meigo, a Level 0 girl. Index and Alisa become friends through the inscrutable bond of "ravenous eating". The three were hanging around after school, when suddenly Stiyl and another magic-side being come assaulting them, their target being Alisa. Why is Alisa, who is also on the magic side, being targeted? Having encountered a full-throttle attack from the magic side, Academy City enacts the deployment of the discipline maintenance squad led by the female leader, Shut-Aura. As the turmoil surrounding Touma, Index, and Alisa continues to worsen, Stiyl says, "That girl there may just cause war between the magic side and the science side." When magic and science cross paths, at Endymion the story unfolds!

Whoa, this seems like an original story. Wonder how well this will play out, and I hope Accelerator gets a lot of screentime of his badassness. :P

Wait, is Mikoto's mom going to be in this movie? Or that kid who looks like Mikoto? Because the mother is hilarious and the kid is so darn cute.

Is this also filler or actually novel adaption? Ah who cares, i know I am going to watch it regardless lol

Its amazing how people reply to topics without reading them, it really is.

Index series is fine and all but until I see an actual esper vs mage fight I will never be satisfied with this. The synopsis of this movie does look promising but I've been plenty disappointed by Raildex in the past.

Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll make Touma in Chibi form. -sarcasm-

Anyways I'm excited we finally have a date. Now I have something to look forward to a few months later when it's subbed and out for download!

No I read that it is going to be created by the writer, but will it relate to what actually happens in the series (like a plot movement) or is this a side story?

It's been previously confirmed that it's an all new story. So no, it's not novel adaptation.

Looking at the cast list, it doesn't seem as though he will appear in the movie. They list a fair number of side characters, but not him. You'd think they would mention him in the article if he had a part, right?

Another movie I'll forget about by the time we get subs. Still, I'm a whore for this franchise and I'm very interested in how this turns out. I'm glad it's original (just make a proper season 3 later, guys, ktnx), but I would've preferred a more science-side story with Misaka and Accelerator starring alongside Kamijou. Oh well. Magic's nice too and while Index annoys me a bit, I have no fear of her actually getting much of a role, one way or another.

Don't see how anyone can consider February 2013 "a long ways away". 8 months is a pretty short wait after an initial announcement.

This. He's the main reason I didn't drop this series. That, and the adorable Last Order :p

Original content you guys say? I guess I'll watch anyway. Next year will be here before you know it, and its not like it'll take more than around 95 mins of my life. But I'm sure its just gonna be a drawn out episode with a random enemy where Touma just ends up punching the mess out of them.

I'm sure biri biri and her coins will be in it as well, but Kagaku no Railgun got me tired of her powers fast.

if accelerator and last order is not on the story then where in the story timeline will this original story fits? before touma meets accelerator? or after beating accelerator to a crap? there should be at least a connection to the real to aru story... just my IMHO.


but well feb 2013 is a long way... perhaps more info will come during the 8 months
