No -- it's way too earlier for that. In general terms, they've talked about a Spring 2011 release. Even after the film is completely finished (locked) and ready to go, they need to find a distributor. That's a pretty big deal for independents. These guys are very innovative, though, and I know they got some great ideas brewing.
Wow... complicated. And still a long wait.
Sorta the story of the ML fan's screen relationship...

Andrew Disney was in London last week for a recording session with the film's "special narrator." The
Searching for Sonny team is releasing clues as to the narrator's identity one at a time. So far, we know that the narrator was born in New York City -- and, obviously, that he/she was in London last week.
The next clue should be up shortly.

The second clue about the narrator comes in the form of an audio clip...

I guessed 'Ron Perlman', the guy from the Hell Boy movies. He was born in New York, and is known to do Narrator, and Voice Over work, as well as acting. And besides that, I thought the audio clip sounded like him.

Here's an interview with Ron Perlman, compare his voice with the one in the audio clue, and see what you think.

Well, they have come back and said, nope, not Ron Perlman.
Another perfectly good theory, shot to heck.

I know, damn the voice sounds so much like this though.
Keith David is my next guess - Voice over actor, born in New York, and the audio clip does sound like him as well.

Close - but I don't know. There's a formality to the speech that Mr. David isn't showing in all his clips.
If it wasn't for that darn New York born part, I'd swear it was John Hillerman (Higgins from Magnum PI) since he lives in Texas. His bio says he's retired though.
