Well, after 4 years of zero replies in this thread... I finally got a bit of info on this project. I had given-up on a sequel, but this article got my hopes up a bit:

Still needs script that is acceptable to studio founder Maruyama, creator Kawajiri

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Masao Maruyama, the co-founder of the Madhouse anime studio, revealed at his Otakon 2008 panel today that his company is still working on plans for a sequel to the Ninja Scroll action anime film. However, he noted that Ninja Scroll 2 project still needs a script that is acceptable to himself and franchise creator Yoshiaki Kawajiri.

The original movie opened in Japan in 1993, and Manga Entertainment released it in North America and other areas. Madhouse has since created a 2003 spinoff television series that Urban Vision licensed for overseas distribution. The American publisher WildStorm created its comic book take on the story in 2006.
