SquareSoft, the famed Japanese video entertainment firm, announced plans to issue an
initial public offering for shares of its US film subsidiary, Square USA Inc., on the US
NASDAQ stock market. The purpose of this IPO is reportedly to accomodate the
production of the upcoming Final Fantsy Movie with needed funds. Joint funding is
already underway between Square USA and Columbia Pictures for the Final Fantasy
Movie and possible sequels.
