Code Geass R3 Lelouch of the Resurrection Original Draft?

So there is a 2016 teaser trailer for the Code Geass movie: none of the footage from the trailer is in the final product, and apparently the director has said that none of the original story remained in subsequent drafts. So is their any word on what the movie was initially supposed to be about?

now that the character designer Takahiro Kiruma for Code Geass is gone, how are they gonna approach the sequel? I guess they could get the Akito the Exiled crew to fill in if Goro Taniguchi is too busy

Re: Code Geass R3 Lelouch of the Resurrection Original Draft?

It wouldn't be the first time a long running series (Mech or otherwise) switched out a key production member. Gundam has done this several times with writers, directors, mech and character designers. If you look at all the UC Gundam Anime's you can see a major difference across series (look at 0080 compared to FG, the Character Designers in Zeta to those in ZZ, the art style differences between Stardust Memory and 08th MS Team). For another example look at the Iczer 1 OVA Series; each episode has slightly different mech designs, and the Special Edition replaces all the male character designs. Then there's Votoms which has different character designs between the main series and the side OVA's.

For an example that didn't work out, look at Megazone 23, though ditching some of the plot threads and characters didn't help either.

That being said Code Geass has a distinctive style, so radically changing it would be odd. Even Akito the Exiled looks notably similar to the main series (Character design wise anyway, the mech's look totally different).

That being said is there any word yet on the Sequel?
