I'm glad I waited, since ANN has received word from Bandai that they do not have the license to the show. An update from Fanboy Review backpedals a little, suggesting that Bang Zoom! is doing it on their own, on a low budget, by virtue of the cache of the actors selected for the dub.
EDIT: FR's Marc has corrected me, saying that he wasn't suggesting that BZ was independently dubbing the film, but that someone else may have been dubbing it at BZ's studio.

Probably more news worthy IMO...
Of course, there's always the possibility that because the news has (sort of) come out, the license is now in jeopardy; I've heard many times that the Japanese companies take things like an early announcement extremely seriously.
I am going to edit the post per his correction to me in his update post, however.
