by Studio Ghibli, one of the most well-known animation studios inside the world these days, teased fans with some excellent news. In their new year’s greeting, the studio introduced that the director Hayao Miyazaki is running on two films in 2020. From the seems of it, the studio goes to have an excellent start of the new decade. In the message, they have mentioned the upcoming Ghibli Park, so that it will have attractions based at the studio’s most well-known works, the kabuki level play edition of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, “energetic overseas expansion” and, of course, the logo new films so one can be produced within this year.
Congratulations to all of you.Thank you for always supporting Studio Ghibli.
Last year was a pretty good year for Studio Ghibli, with Kabuki and other works staged and the official announcement of Ghibli Park, as well as aggressive overseas expansion, which provided a topic for everyone. I think it was. However, disasters such as typhoons and heavy rains in Japan are continuing, and it is painful to think that many people are forced to have a hard life even at this time. We want to express our sincere condolences to those affected by the damage and pray for the rebuilding of our lives as soon as possible.
By the way, the zodiac sign of 2020 is “child.” Rats are symbolic of their prosperity because of their prolific production and are also said to be the angels of the god of fertility. I hope that the mood of the stagnating society will be renewed and that we will have a year of hope.
Studio Ghibli continues to work on two new films. Also, Ghibli Park has started in earnest, so we hope to be able to deliver a lot of excitement again this year.
In 2020, Studio Ghibli will begin work on January 6 (Monday).
Thank you very much for Studio Ghibli and Studio Ghibli this year.
2020.1.1.
It’s been six years since Hayao Miyazaki’s last feature film, The Wind Rises, was released. The iconic director announced in 2013 that he’s retiring from creating feature films.
However, in 2017 he came back from his retirement to work on ‘How Do You Live?’.
Studio Ghibli hasn’t given any news on the second film yet.
In the New Year’s message, in which the studio expressed condolences to everyone affected by severe weather over the last year and offered their hopes for a productive and revived energy taking us all through 2020, Studio Ghibli announced that two films are currently in production. One is Miyazaki’s own How Do You Live?, which is expected to center on Genzaburo Yoshino‘s 1937 novel of the same name and how it factors into the life of a 15-year-old protagonist and his uncle. The first film for Miyazaki since coming out of his recent semi-retirement was initially slated for release before Tokyo’s Olympics this year. Still, now it’s looking like a 2021 or 2022 release. As for the other film? Well, we’ll have to wait and see!
