The highly anticipated animated movie has also set a North American release date.
The Big Picture Across the many fields of human endeavor, there are always those with the uncanny ability to produce brilliant and excellent results are simply unmatched. In the field of filmmaking, Hayao Miyazaki falls into that category perfectly. So, it comes as no surprise that the legendary filmmaker's final feature, The Boy and the Heron, is so highly anticipated in many quaters.
The Boy and the Heron comes from the legendary animation studio, Studio Ghibli, with GKIDS acquiring the rights for North American distribution. When the highly anticipated film hits cinemas, it will be released in its original Japanese with English subtitles, as well as a new English language version. The international premiere of the film at TIFF will make it the first Japanese film to launch the festival.
The Boy and the Heron marks Miyazaki’s 11th feature film and 10th film with Studio Ghibli, a studio he also co-founded. Previously titled How Do You Live?, the upcoming film which has been in production for nearly a decade will also feature hand-drawn animation from Miyazaki himself. The film features a musical score from Joe Hisaishi, a long-time collaborator of Miyazaki with Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki producing. The film is written and directed by Miyazaki.
'The Boy and The Heron' Is Shrouded in Intrigue and Mystery For much of the build up to the film's release, the storyline has been shrouded in mystery. However, last week GKIDS released a 'pre-teaser' that helped introduce the film's story. "A young boy named Mahito yearning for his mother ventures into a world shared by the living and the dead," the teaser states. "There death comes to an end, and life finds a new beginning.
