He ’s been nominated for four Academy Awards , win two , been nominate for two Golden Globes and acquire one , and been nominated for 14 Annie Awards and won five .

Hayao Miyazaki’s New Studio Ghibli Movie Will Reportedly Be “A Nostalgic Action-Adventure Story”

Goro Miyazaki Said His Father Is Working On Something New

During a prevue of the " How Do You Live ? Exhibition",How Do You Livebeing the Japanese title forThe Boy and the Heron , at the Ghibli Museum on May 24 , 2024 , Goro Miyzaki said his father , Hayao , is working on a new project ( viaAnimeHunch ) . Goro say his father was make view corner of his past oeuvre . Realizing his pa may be getting bored with revisiting one-time undertaking , Goro intimate he work on something raw ,

" And that ’s what he ’s working on now . Whether it will actually become his next picture show , I do n’t know , but it ’s a nostalgic action - adventure story , and I ’m looking forrad to it . "

It ’s important to note that the rendering of Goro ’s speech could transform literally to " in the flair of an adventure movie / picture show " , but it could also broadly refer to an " action - adventure movie " . This is in line of descent with what other Studio Ghibli executives have said about Miyazaki . At TIFF in May 2024 , Studio Ghibli ’s Vice President , Junichi Nishioka , said ( viaAnimeHunch ) ,

" He thinks about this new project every day , I can no longer stop him , I have yield up on that . I ’m no longer trying to dissuade him , even if it might be a bad film . In life , only work enchants him . We spoke again earlier today [ … ] he start utter about this novel project , so I ’m not stopping him anymore . As long as he works , I will not sack out . He is 82 years older , I think he will persist in until he is 90 years old and I ’ll be going along with him for the drive . "

It ’s hard to infer incisively what Miyazaki could be planning . fundamentally , all his movies could fall into the " action - risky venture " category , so it ’s not in particular telling that his next one will be in a similar drama . Goro also seems to imply Miyizaki ’s next work may not necessarily be a film , meaning Miyazaki could be working on just about anything .

It Doesn’t Look Like Hayo Miyazaki Is Retiring Anytime Soon

Miyazaki “Can Only Return”

Hayao Miyazaki has announced his retreat multiple times , and it ’s almost a joke now when he says he ’s done make films .

With a decade betweenThe Wind RisesandThe Boy and the Heron , it did seem like he had retired from direct for good , though in that flow , he still made scant picture and was frequently give thanks in Studio Ghibli credit , suggest he had a hand in their development .

While Robert Pattinson may be best known for his live - action roles like Twighlight , his greatest performance was in reality in an anime film .

He also focused on curating the Ghibli Museum and work on displays . However , we should have make out he would never be able-bodied to stay by from filmmaking forever . AfterThe Boy and the Heron , it appear that he has a regenerate vigor in filmmaking . The taciturn Miyazaki has never given a real reason for coming out of retreat , but a 2004 interview may give some insight into his thought process ( viaNausicaa ) ,

Hayao Miyazaki laughing with a poster of The Boy And The Heron behind him-1

" Although I have thought about leave the Earth of animation for many meter , whenever I see a piece of music of employment that I really like , I would by nature desire it to express it in my own mind . When I hand it to the others , I always imagine about how this and that should be done . At last , I feel that it will be good if I take up the employment myself . so as to bring out the original intent of the work , I can only retort . "

" I can only return " may be the most personal thing Miyazaki ’s ever say . It ’s unknown when a newStudio Ghiblimovie is coming out , but there ’s a skilful chance that when it does , Hayao Miyazaki will once again be at the helm .
