The Wind Rises was supposed to be his last film, however Hayao Miyazaki returned to the studio in 2017 for a new project titled How Do You Live? (“Kimi-tachi wa dô ikiru ka” in Japanese).
However, Studio Ghibli’s marketers may be relying too much on public interest. As they announced last month, there will be no trailer or promotional images for the upcoming feature film. All we’ll see of the film before its release in Japan this July 14th will be a simple poster. But Miyazaki has been working on this project for six years now: that should be reason enough for the public to see it.
However, as Espinoff reports (via Oricon), the director isn’t so sure about that strategy right now. Indeed, at the opening of the Ghibli exhibition in Tokyo, Hayao Miyazaki He trusted his suspicions.
I wonder if it will be good without ads. I’m starting to get nervous… I’m worried, that’s all.
The secret is such that even the Cannes Film Festival, which tried with all its might to screen it, did not succeed! There is no release date for the film in the rest of the world yet. Therefore, we will have to wait a little longer to see the feature film, for which, traditionally, Hayao Miyazaki He would do one minute of animation every month before being joined by other animators.
However, even without the ad (or would it be the best ad of all time?), Ghibli and Miyazaki still carry weight in the field. There is no doubt that the studio and its iconic co-founders will emerge victorious here again. Answered on July 14.
In the meantime, rediscover his previous creation, The Wind Rises, which is currently available to stream on Netflix.
