Miyazaki Not Retiring After All?
At the Toronto International Film Festival, Studio Ghibli Vice President Junichi Nishioka indicated that famed director Hayao Miyazaki might not retire after The Boy and the Heron, as previously reported. Check out Nishioka’s translated statement here:
“Other people say that this might be his last film, but he doesn’t feel that way at all.”
“He is currently working on ideas for a new film. He comes into his office every day and does that. This time, he’s not going to announce his retirement at all. He’s continuing working just as he has always done.”
This isn’t all that surprising; Miyazaki has done this before. A decade ago, The Wind Rises was supposed to be his final work. However, he quickly got to work on the short film Boro the Caterpillar. I’ll happily watch whatever he decides to do next if that’s how he wants to continue spending his golden years.
But what do you think? Do you want more Miyazaki, or would you like to see him retire and rest? Let us know in the comments below!
