Lo Studio Ghibli ha riaperto il reparto di produzione per il prossimo film di Miyazaki!
Annunciata la riapertura del reparto di produzione dello Studio Ghibli, al lavoro sul nuovo lungometraggio di Hayao Miyazaki
E così ora, tre anni dopo, apprendiamo che il 3 luglio lo Studio Ghibli ha riaperto ufficialmente il suo reparto di produzione.
Non è chiaro se il film in questione sia Boro the Caterpillar o un altro progetto, né se sarà in animazione a mano, in CGI o in tecnica mista. Al momento sappiamo solo che il film dovrebbe uscire in tempo per le Olimpiadi di Tokyo 2020, quando Miyazaki avrà quasi ottant'anni. Il corto, intanto, doveva essere proiettato al Museo Ghibli a partire da luglio ma non è stato ancora programmato: è possibile che, nel caso il lungometraggio sia proprio Boro the Caterpillar, il corto sia stato messo da parte.
Vi terremo aggiornati!

Miyazaki is easily the greatest living animator today. His capacity for imaginative and profound storytelling is unrivaled, even as Japan and the rest of the world scramble to find a successor to the oft-called Godfather of Animation. Studio Ghibli, which Miyazaki co-founded with Isao Takahata and was responsible for the bulk of its award-winning films, was also at a loss when Miyazaki announced that he would retire — for real this time, he swore. In a post-Miyazaki world, the studio shuttered its feature film department and focused on bringing small acclaimed films like The Red Turtle to wide release, or collaborative projects like the Polygon Pictures partnership for Ronja the Robber’s Daughter series on Amazon Prime.
But Miyazaki has done this dance before. His first flirtation with retirement came with Princess Mononoke in 1997, which at the time he repeatedly called his last chance to make an epic action film (I don’t have an article to cite for this, it was in the Princess Mononoke special features which I have watched back to front). His fantastical masterpiece Spirited Away brought him out of this “retirement” in 2001, winning him his only Academy Award and getting him back in the director’s seat for three more movies. His final “retirement” was in 2013, and we all know what happened with that.
