Next Studio Ghibli movie

[telophase]

Cut-and-pasted from a friend's email to a mailing list:

Some few of you may have previously been aware that there were rumors that the next Ghibli film was going to be based on Le Guin's Earthsea. Well, it's no longer just a rumor.

Announcement blatantly copy-and-pasted from the Miyazaki mailing list:

Studio Ghibli has officially announced that their next feature film will be Gedo Senki (Gedo War History) [1], directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro Miyazaki. The film will be an adaptation of Ursula K Le Guin's "A Wizard of Earthsea," and will be released in the Japanese theatres in July 2006.

The Studio's official site has also undergone a revamp [2]. Details of the new film can be found there. There are also dedicated sections of production diary and director's diary. Goro Miyazaki has posted some comments on his father's opposition towards his work as a director.
