Great news for Studo Ghibli fans, both it’s co-founders are working on new projects, which was announced by Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki recently. Sad news is though, details are very slim at the moment.
Hayao Miyazaki directed the recent Ponyo and has also made a recent short called Mr Dough and the Egg Princess, and has another film in production called Porco Rosso: The Last Sortie. The news has just been announced though that his latest project will be an ‘autobiography, but sadly that is all the details that have been revealed. Could it be an autobiography of himself? Expect more details on this project soon.
Meanwhile, Isao Takahata, who last directed Winter Days back in 2003, returns with a new animation based on a classic Japanese tale. The story centres around a young girl who is discovered as a baby in the stalk of a bamboo plant. Again, details are very limited and this is all we know at this point.
