A new Miyazaki-san in Ghibli-town
The next from Hayao Miyazaki's studio, Studio Ghibli, will be directed by his son, reports say. "Defying opposition from his father, [he] will make his directorial debut next year with a film on the Earthsea fantasy novels by US writer Ursula Le Guin. Goro Miyazaki, a 38-year-old former construction consultant, is directing the animation film for July next year release, according to Studio Ghibli, which has released his father's works.
"It may sound a bit abrupt but let me say this first -- my father Hayao Miyazaki was against my directing Tales From Earthsea," his eldest son said without delving into the reasons," reports Taipei Times. "I realized I have undeniable affection for animation, which I had long pretended not to notice in my mind due partly to relations with my father," he wrote on the Ghibli Web site.
