Miyazaki's upcoming movie: Howl’s Moving Castle
Scott sez: "Hayao Miyazaki's next film is Howl's Moving Castle. Based on a 1986 children's novel by Diana Wynne Jones about a girl who is transformed into an old woman by a wizard's spell. If Spirited Away doesn't get nominated (and win) for Best Animated Picture I'm gonna scream. Disney should be pushing that campaign like there's no tomorrow -- all their "in-house" crap pales in comparison. Isn't about time Hollywood acknowledges Miyazaki's genius ... they've been cannibalising his work for years.Another major animation announcement covered in this article is the release date for the often delayed Steamboy, Katsuhiro Otomo's first feature-length film in fifteen years, since his influential 1988 hit Akira.
