New Miyazaki Hayao Movie's Title Revealed.

[sinonobu]

君たちはどう生きるか (Kimitachi wa Dou Ikiruka / How are you guys going to live).

The title is based off a book of the same title by Yoshino Genjaburo that came out on 1937.

The reason why the movie title is same as the book is because the book is important/meaningful to main character.

It will take about 3~4 years till completion.

Speaking on the Japanese television program "Nichiyobi Bijitsukan (Sunday Art Gallery)," Toshio Suzuki explained that Miyazaki wanted to leave behind a feature dedicated to his grandson. According to Suzuki, "Miyazaki is making the new film for his grandson. It's his way of saying, 'Grandpa is moving on to the next world, but he's leaving behind this film.'"

This new-ish news as well?

 

[GCX]

Looks like it'll be on more serious side on the Miyazaki movie scale. I'm not too familiar with the book though.

"Miyazaki is making the new film for his grandson."

That's cute.
And I imagine he's also prepping right now to go egg Goro Miyazaki's house or something.

I was a fan of The Wind Rises, but I'm hoping this will be a beautiful sign off from Miyazaki in the vein of Spirited Away or Totoro. Can't wait.

 

[Trejo]

Guess he needs to pin his hopes on the grandson since we know how Goro turned out.

 

[Tuck]

3-4 years till completion, wow. Well, glad its coming. Name is a bit of a mouthful but I'm excited.

I'm hoping for that as well, but considering the title and reference to the book, I feel like it's going to be similar to Wind Rises than Spirited Away/Totoro.

It should still be good though.

 

[Polymath]

I for one am looking forward to watching it.

 

[∀∃:ETURNA]

Definitely looking forward to this!

I thought people liked Poppy Hill.

 

[Monogatari]

"Miyazaki is making the new film for his grandson. It's his way of saying, 'Grandpa is moving on to the next world, but he's leaving behind this film.'"

That sounds just like a Miyazaki or Ghibli film itself!

 

[Maile_rox]

This is the one about the lil caterpillar? I recall something like that

 

[Zombine]

Miyazaki is never going to retire and that is incredible. Can't wait to see what this film looks like in the end.

 

[Michael B]

Cant Wait! I really enjoyed The Wind Rises the second time I watched it. I'm disappointed I missed my chance to visit the Ghibli museum when I was in japan because I didn't research ahead of time

 

[Anteros]

I'm in for a new Miyazaki movie. I really enjoyed The Wind Rises (and most of his other movies of course). I just watched Totoro with my kids last week actually.

 

[Deleted member 9035]

The man's passion for his work is almost without equal.

 

[Fireblend]

I like making fun of Miyazaki for un-retiring like 5 times already, but I'm in for whatever he wants to make. I've been watching all Miyazaki movies in order with my mom, brother and gf and the man's ridiculously gifted. Can't wait!

 

[lazybones18]

I'll be there at the theater Day 1

 

[Squarehard]

Looks like the retirement cake is going back into the freezer.

It's got to taste terrible by now over the past decades.

It will eventually be eaten soon...

If you ever go back, it's absolutely worth it. If you're in Tokyo it's not very far.

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Sounds good. I'll watch anything he makes.

 

[Luxorek]

3-4 to make? Then I will probably see it in 5 years when it comes on DVD/Blu Ray since no new Ghibli movies had screenings where I live.

Yeah definitely. It seems easy to get in if you plan 3 months ahead. I saw you could maybe go to Lawson and use a machine but there so much else to do we didn't bother.

 

[Transistor]

Miyazaki? Day one. I know some didn't love it, but I LOVED The Wind Rises

 

[Galkinator]

That guy should have all the artistic freedom he can, although for me personally nothing topped mononoke.
Anyone knows what's this book about? Should it be an interesting movie?

 

[Chaser]

Suzuki's quote is wonderful. I'm so glad Miyazaki continues to be passionate about making films.

I came to find Studio Ghibli much later in life than I would have wanted, but they've been such a significant influence for me over the past few years. I was lucky enough to make it to the museum a couple years back, and I can't recommend that experience enough for fans of their work or animation in general.

 

[take_marsh]

I really enjoyed The Wind Rises. I'm okay with his final film being in the vein of his more serious films than the playful Totoro. Count me another with Mononoke being my jam though.

 

[shazrobot]

Day 1 for me. Seen everything Ghibli/Miyazaki so I can't wait.

 

[Trejo]

Sorry. :(

The wounds of Earthsea take time to heal.

 

[HStallion]

Miyazaki gonna leave a bag of burning shit on Goro's front porch as his parting gif.

 

[GCX]

Hey now, Goro and Hayao don't hate each other anymore, or at least not quite as much as during the Earthsea days. I mean Hayao even wrote the script/screenplay for Goro's Poppy Hill.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

It's inspiring.

I also wish he would return to doing something more fantastic or whimsical, but I'll take and appreciate anything I can get.

 

[tiebreaker]

Wind rises is probably my favourite ghibli movie depending on my mood. Happy if this would be something similar.

 

[julia crawford]

Ah yes, retirement.

 

[Mrfluffypuff]

I still can't believe Miyasaki is still working on making films. Damn dude, you can just take it easy, lol.

Though, really looking forward to it.

That would be great but I feel like he just wants to make what he wants to make, and isn't concerned about a momentous conclusion to his legacy or something like that.

 

[Hentai]

I thought he retired?

 

[FaceHugger]

Looking forward to anything he or collaborators from the old studio do. Personally, I think he's one of the greatest artists and storytellers to have ever lived.

Is his grandson following in his footsteps?

 

[Dream Machine]

Is the caterpillar one still being made?

 

[Not]

3-4 years till completion, wow. Well, glad its coming. Name is a bit of a mouthful but I'm excited.

Translating Japanese titles directly into English without accounting for dissimilar cultural titling conventions always makes them sound a little goofy

 

[Omegamon]

What's the plot of the book?

Still wishing for a Neverending Story film by Ghibli tho :(

 

[Deleted member 9327]

So he backs out once again from retirement? Looking forward to this!
Does anyone know what's up with Ghibli? They only said they'll take a break and then try to figure out something for the future. Since then I haven't heard any news from Ghibli.

 

[TheIcedP]

Now I'm excited! I didn't know another Miyazaki film was coming out! I can definitely wait 4 years to see any one of his masterpieces.

 

[turmoil7]

The Wind Rises is one of my favorite movies ever and this man's dedication to his craft is a gift to humanity.

 

[Watershed]

This is still the one about a caterpillar? Interesting title.

 

[jett]

So Ghibli is alive again? I'm confused.

That was a short film made for the Ghibli Museum. This news is regarding his next feature film.

Originally the story was that the cg short about a caterpillar was going to be expanded into a traditional 2d animated feature length film. At least that's how I remember it.

Must have been cancelled. Was supposed to come out this year.
