Good to hear. He should just keep making movies for as long as he's physically able. I hope he decides to make another Lupin movie.

You know Miyazaki must really love what he does, because he simply can't stop doing it. He announced he was retiring once several years ago, then he came back. Then when he announced Princess Mononoke he called it "My latest, and final work." Then he did Spirited Away anyhow, the whole while telling people "This really IS the last one. I just had to do one more, then I'm gone. Honest." But then he did "just one more" after that. Now he's doing THREE more.
The man is addicted, and the world is a better place for it.

The only thing that is going to make this news even better is if the great Nobuo Uematsu's Smile Please joins the project as the composer for those three movies that Miyazaki is going to make.

Its quite possible that Miyazaki will only be the executive producer for these films, as he has been on other Ghibli films like The Cat Returns.

Wasn't Miyazaki supposed to direct three short movies? Could it be what the article is reffering to? I hope not because I would love to see more full-length movies from him.
Nobuo Uematsu is great but what's wrong with Joe Hisaishi? |

Miyazaki needs to make room for new talent at Studio Ghibli. Like Mamoru Hosoda, IMO he's a much better director. Or let Takahata do something new, I really liked the direction he seemed to be going in with My Neighbors the Yamadas.

I remember watching or reading an interview with Miyazaki where he stated his frustration with his inability to hand off projects at Ghibli. He's offered other people the director's chair plus his own time advising them, but they won't accept it because they're too intimidated at the idea of working with "the great Miyazaki." I get the feeling that nobody wants to be the person who makes a bad film while on Miyazaki's watch.
That said, I also read an interview with Mamoru Oshii (a good friend of the folks at Ghibli) who stated that Ghibli has a very autocratic work environment. A quote: "What do other animators think of Ghibli? As far as I know...It's half love, and half hate. A general response would be: it's a tremendous place, but I don't want to go there. Because they control you too tightly (at Ghibli)." So, perhaps that's causing some problems. |

It is NOT theatrical film but short film for Ghibli Museum.
nausicaa.net January 19, 2005 Miyazaki's Next Project Studio Ghibli is currently making three short films for the Ghibli Museum. Miyazaki-san did e-konte (storyboards) for all of three; we're not sure if he is directing the films, but the probability is high. According to Naohisa INOUE (background painter for Whisper of the Heart), one of them is called "Hoshi wo Katta Hi," based on his "Iblard" story. The title could mean "The Day I Bought (Hunted, or Cropped) A Star." Also, according to Inoue, one of other two short films is called "Mizugumo Monmon" (Mizugumo means Water Spider). Another one is about a girl who is looking for a place to live. Miyazaki-San is wiring yet another story, which is about a river, when ships were used to transport goods. So, there are at least four short films coming. |

I wouldn't quite call him that. Did you know that at one time, Oshii and Miyazaki actually planned to do a movie together. Not suprisingly, the project fell apart due to creative differences. |

At this point, he's either doing it for the money or the vanity.
jfrog: Why would I want a guy who worked on a series made to sell toys to be involved with Ghibli? bnewhall: The person he wanted to take over Ghibli died on him. He should let Takahata run the company. |

You mean like Lupin III? I take it that you haven't seen the uncut, subtitled version of his Digimon movie (GATSU judging something he hasn't seen? never saw that one coming  ). It's really quite brilliant and has little to do with the rest of the franchise (think Beautiful Dreamer or I Want to Return to That Day). Benjamin Ettinger even compared it to Tarkovsky.

Genndy Tartakovsky? Or did you mean Andrey Tarkovsky?
And Lupin III wasn't really made to sell toys...
He's doing it because he wants to do it. And he sure as hell doesen't need to appologise for it. Especially not to pissy fanboys like you, Gatsu. Just once I would've liked to see you support your argument. Takahata is 6 years older than Miyazaki. And it's not about who's going to run the company (because more than one person can do it). It's about who will get to direct what and who is going to have the artistic control once Miyazaki retires. |

Andrei Tarkovsky. Sorry for the confusion. And I do love Lupin III, I love it a lot, but GATSU was implying that the studio it was made at was a bastion of artistic integrity, and that it was made with only the purest intentions in mind. It was made to make money just as much as Digimon was. |

Proman:
Then he'd be saying that he would continue working in the industry, not actually state any specific projects this early in the game. Fame and success have obviously gone to his head, and he thinks he can just churn them out without any quality control. He might as well sell Ghibli to Eisner, if that's his attitude. jfrog:
Lupin was made to fill a niche for a specific audience. So while there was obviously some element of marketing involved in the content-especially the second season of the second series-it was produced in an attempt to diversify the market. Digimon was created as an attempt to cash in on the market. I may not like Pokemon, but at least it was original for what it was, and Digimon is a pale imitation. Again, why would I want a guy who was involved in the latter category working on a Ghibli project? Miyazaki didn't want him. |

Actually, Miyazaki did want him. He was the one that turned it down.
And you completely evaded my earlier point about how Mamoru Hosoda only worked on Digimon because it was the only job he could get, and how he tried to make his work as un-Digimon-y as possible. But then again, I really don't need to bother because if Hosoda does another movie that gets good reviews, I know that you'll completely reverse your position on the guy and pretend that this never happened. |
