Hayao Miyazaki : Last Film Confirmed. Nausicaa In USA Cinemas. Yamadas Gets MPAA Rating.

(Posted In)

A few news bits all plopped online from Nausicaa.net in one go : firstly, Hayao Miyazaki has confirmed in an interview that the project based on the Chinese book "Wo Diushile Wode Xiaonanhai (I Lost My Little Boy)" will be his last Directorial output. Well deserved retirement to follow that it seems.

Secondly, trailers are being shown in the USA for 'Nausicaa' - so you should all be lucky enought to see that on the large silver screen sometime soon : when exactly, we don't know. Summer is the vague answer.

Thirdly, 'My Neighbours The Yamadas', actually one of the first Ghibli DVDs to come out in Japan and a truly stunning piece of work, has been given a PG rating by the MPAA in the USA. Fine, this could mean a DVD release this year (another wave of DVDs still expected in 2005) and it could mean a theatrical release - the former is most likely.

I would take that story about it being Miyazaki's last film with a big grain of salt. The article on Nausicaa.net was translated from Japanese to Chinese to English. If you'd replace every occurance of the word "last" with "latest" the article would still make sense, but the meaning would change completely. Remember, Miyazaki's retirement has been announced before, but was always later followed by an announcement about his next project.

well miyazaki has mentioned or "announced" retirement several times. i think the man is tired now, and is such a workaholic he wont ever give up completely. but at least slow down enough to not be so heavily involved in the film (if at all)... the man is old too... we'll see.
