Hayao Miyazaki could be coming out of retirement
Despite seemingly retiring from film-making for the very final time, Hayao Miyazaki was speaking about making one more film around the end of last year.
The legendary made a short film titled Boro the Caterpillar (Kemushi no Boro) for the Studio Ghibli Museum, but felt disappointed with how it turned out and wanted to make it into a feature-length CGI film.
Now, in a pre-Oscars interview, Studio Ghibli's Toshio Suzuki (via Kotaku) has confirmed that the full-length film is officially going ahead, with Miyazaki at the helm.
Will this actually be Miyazaki's final ever film? The Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke director seems done with his traditional hand-drawn style – Boro the Caterpillar short was his first foray into computer animation.
Now he's turning Boro into a full-blown flick, maybe he's found a second (or maybe fifth) wind and this will be his new thing.
Hayao Miyazaki last retired after the release of his 2013 film The Wind Rises, although his 'I'm done with this, oh wait no I'm not' shtick has been going back for what seems like forever now.
His most famous work, Spirited Away, was made after one of those retirements and we can't imagine life without that film.
Maybe he should just say he's going on break instead?
Boro the Caterpillar is apparently set to release around the 2020 Olympics in Japan.
