Sorry to all the hardcore fans, as this I'm sure has been covered (several times) but why are all the latest posts regarding P5 saying that the film will never happen?
I missed something I guess.
The actors all did a read through of the whole movie, there was the short video clip leaked with the Mike and Angus scene, and then what happened? Is this all a financial issue or exactly what are the reasons the project isn't going forward?
Thanks in advance for any and all usefull info!

Yes, there was a cast reading of a script.
The footage you're talking about wasn't "leaked", it was used for the Alamo Drafthouse tribute video with Don Coscarelli.
Phantasm V is in no way, shape, or form in any stage of production, or even pre-production for that matter. Don Coscarelli has other projects going on and there is no current plan to start up work on Phantasm V.

Ok, I thought it was leaked as I remember hearing something that it had been removed and I had not seen it since. Still - it would seem to be in the realm of possibility that it could happen, even though it is not in any way/shape/form progressing as of April '09.
While it may or may not be a correct assumption, if the main reason for no part 5 is financial, then it really is a shame. . . . .it is sad that Halloween/Michael Myers films keep spewing awful sequals from 1 "ok" original movie but Phantasm (with 3 excellent follow-ups) cannot.
Had Oblivion ended with some sort of closure, I wouldn't feel the same way probably. Also, from a creative standpoint - just my opinion: if by some chance they do decide to get things rolling, I think they should not use any old scripts or the one from the cast reading. Start totally fresh, new, full-speed ahead. Go out with a bang, one last time.
