So, French Liberation spoke with Toshio Suzuki Hayao Miyazaki 's producer at Studio Ghibli , who is currently working on the release of the director's film The Boy and the Heron . He commented that Miyazaki can't stop working and is already focusing on his next project.
He commented:
He dedicates every day to thinking about his next project, and I can't stop him anymore—in fact, I've given up trying. I no longer try to discourage him, even if he ends up creating an unsuccessful film. In life, it's only his work that truly delights him.
Continuing, Suzuki said that it seems that Miyazaki almost left out The Boy and the Heron.
We were talking not long ago and he said something incredible to me: 'By the way, what was my last film about? I can't remember.' And then he started talking about a new project, so I'm not going to stop him. As long as he's working, I can't retire. He's 82, and I think he'll keep going until he's 90. I'm going with him.
Synopsis:
The Boy and the Heron is inspired by the story of Genzaburo Yoshino 1937 novel. The book follows the journey of Copper, a 15-year-old boy who goes on a journey to discover the meaning of life. However, Miyazaki has stated that his film will tell a different story.
Although Boy and the Heron was considered the director's final anime film, the Studio Ghibli wants to continue working, and it seems another story has piqued his interest.
