Ghibli's next 2 Masterpieces just got announced!!!
Of course i am a HUGE fan!
If you like Miyazaki and his creations
stay tuned for more updates!
#1- Kaguyahime-Monogatari
Theme: "A princess's crime and punishment."
Synopsis: The story is the same as the original. However, the original does not describe Kaguya-hime's feelings, it just describes what happens to her. This film carefully draws her feelings out one by one.
Release Date: Summer 2013
Executive Producer: Seiichiro Ujiie (passed away on March 28, 2011 at the age of 84)
Toshio Suzuki mentioned that he would like to credit Ujiie as Chief Production Officer, but the official website poster credits Ujiie as Executive Producer
More from Suzuki on Ujiie: There was a thing Ujiie-san wants to do. It was Takahata-san's new film. He said, "I want to see his film by all means one more before I die." In this way preparations for Kaguya-hime began. Four or five years ago Ujiie-san seemed to say it this way in an officers' meeting, "this is not a business that I am concerned with directly because I leave my officiation to an operating officer. But there is the only exception, it's Takataha's film. I said this beforehand but this film is not profitable. But I have him make a good film because I don't mind a loss." (at the 19:45 mark) "I want to do something before I die." If Ujiie did not think this way, Kaguya-hime would not have been born.
#2- Kazetachinu
Synopsis: The story begins with a 10 year old Jiro Horikoshi. He longs for the sky and aims to be a pilot. When he becomes an adult and begins working on aircraft times of war have come. The thing which he should design was a fighter for a warship...
