The film is expected to reach Japanese theaters next summer and, depending on its financial success, could crossover to the U.S. Komatsuzaki spends her days running the family lodging house and struggling with the same issues that plague everyone in their teenage years.įilm journalist Hiroo Otaka broke the story about Studio Ghibli's next project via his Twitter account (note: those that cannot read Japanese ought to just skip clicking that link -)). The 1960s-set tale revolves around Komatsuzaki, a high school girl whose father vanished at sea some time ago and whose mother is a professional photographer constantly traveling the world. Kokuriko-Zaka Kara was originally a shojo magazine serial (re: Japanese comic book or manga) that ran back in the early 1980s.
Studio Ghibli's next project, Kokuriko-Zaka Kara, will be brought to life under the guidance of Miyazaki's son, Goro, whose directorial debut, Tales From Earthsea, was seen as a solid notch below his father's output - but really, did anyone really expect him to match/outdo his dad? The collective works of Studio Ghibli co-founder/Japanese animation god Hayao Miyazaki are truly one of a kind and have continued to offer the kind of enthusiastically creative, traditionally-animated splendor that hasn't been around in Hollywood since the days of the Disney Renaissance back in the late 80s/early 90s.
