Studio Ghibli has issues

<< < (4/5) > >>

KharBevNor:
How did I not know Miyazaki's making a film based on The Borrowers?





Because that fucking rocks.

Ozymandias:
Made. It's been out for two months in Japan.

I haven't heard good things. And by haven't heard good things, I mean I've heard great things, just not as great as usual.

KharBevNor:
I remember when I was a kid the old Borrowers TV series was the only thing I'd seen Ian Holm in (apart from doing the voice of Frodo in the BBC's LotR radio series), then I saw Alien when I was 11 and I was like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Well that sucks.  I hope things work out.  I'd miss their movies.

jimbunny:
I guess my question is, why have a Ghibli if you don't have Miyazaki (not just a Miyazaki, mind you)? And it seems rather unfair to expect him to keep pumping out films till the day he dies. I mean, he's almost 70 years old. We're talking about a small number of potential films to go, and I didn't really like Ponyo all that much. What I'm saying is, it's got to stop sometime, dude's had a full career, could probably enjoy a retirement.

And what's this about a Porco Rosso sequel? That best be some conceptual, not-actually-a-continuation-of-the-story shit. That movie is a gem, possibly the most perfectly crafted film Ghibli's made; call me a crank, but adding to it or trying to remake it seems to me unequivocally to be a mistake.
