Studio Ghibli is making waves at the Cannes Festival, where all eyes are on the film industry’s top creators. Goro Miyazaki, leading the Studio Ghibli executives, recently revealed in an interview at Cannes that his father, Hayao Miyazaki, is keeping quiet about his next project.
Following the success of “The Boy and the Heron,” an Oscar-winning masterpiece under Hayao Miyazaki’s direction, fans are eager to learn about his future plans. However, according to Goro Miyazaki, his father has not disclosed any details about his upcoming projects.
Hayao Miyazaki’s Next Project
“He won’t tell anyone what they are. Absolutely no one,” Goro said about his father’s secretive nature regarding movie pitches. Despite reports suggesting Hayao Miyazaki’s interest in creating more films, Goro claims to be in the dark about any new projects. It appears that Hayao began brainstorming ideas for a new movie immediately after completing “The Boy and the Heron,” but the specifics remain unknown.
Goro Miyazaki emphasized that both his father and the Studio Ghibli team are in need of rest after the exhaustive production schedule of their latest film. Spending seven years on an animated movie has taken its toll, and Goro believes the studio requires time to recuperate.
While Hayao Miyazaki, now 83, may be taking a break, his passion for filmmaking remains strong. Despite his age and the demanding nature of the industry, Miyazaki’s commitment to his craft is unwavering.
After dedicating nearly a decade to “The Boy and the Heron,” Miyazaki deserves a well-earned rest. However, when he eventually returns to work, Goro may finally learn about his father’s next visionary project.
