Upcoming Film How Do You Live to Debut in Japanese Theaters Next Year
In 2013, Hayao Miyazaki, the renowned director and face of Studio Ghibli, retired. However, in 2016, he announced his return from retirement to work on a final film titled How Do You Live. Miyazaki took his time with this project, and after six years of meticulous work, the film is set to be released.
Studio Ghibli has revealed that How Do You Live, with its current working title, will premiere in Japanese cinemas on July 14, 2023. The specific plot details remain undisclosed, although an illustration of a bird-like creature was included in the announcement. Initially inspired by the 1937 children’s novel of the same name by Yoshino Genzaburo, Miyazaki’s interpretation is expected to diverge significantly, offering a more grand and fantastical narrative.
