Hayao Miyazaki
A couple of tweets by Japanese animators Osamu Kobayashi (Paradise Kiss) and Takashi Hashimoto (Samurai Horror Tales)
have revealed some information about Hayao Miyazaki’s next film. In
previous interviews, the Oscar-winning director of classics such as Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro had said that his next movie will be biographical and “not the sort of work that everyone in the audience can relax and watch.”Now according to the tweets by Kobayashi and Hashimoto, the master
helmer will be based on the life of Jiro Horikoshi, the man who designed
the Zero fighter plane that was used in the attack on Pearl Harbor
during the Second World War. Horikoshi was an aeronautical engineer who
developed a number of military aircrafts, with Zero being his most
famous invention.Studio Ghibli reportedly did a large-scale search for animators with
extensive experience in drawing airplanes to work on Miyazaki upcoming
film, which is expected to be released in late 2013.
