Get ready ladies and gents! It looks like a new Studio Ghibli movie is being created as we speak!
Hayao Miyazaki, widely known for his work on My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, is now preparing to come out of retirement in order to make a new film for Studio Ghibli. Fellow producer Toshio Suzuki, has confirmed this news in a pre-Oscars interview last month while attending the Academy Awards for his film The Red Turtle. In the interview, Suzuki stated that Miyazaki presented him a story board for the project that Miyazaki had created in just 20 minutes. 20 MINUTES!
It is speculated that this film will be a feature length version of Miyazaki’s CGI animated short, Boro the Caterpillar. Although Suzuki did not say much about the film, he did reveal that it “is really interesting.” There is yet to be a release date set for this project.
