I think that's an instance of something being misunderstood and then being beamed across the world to a thousand websites. Eventually, it's just taken as Gospel Truth.<br /><br />In truth, I think Miyazaki was speculating about story ideas for future comics, perhaps basing on the same world as Porco Rosso, which was the Adriatic Sea between the two World Wars. And that period - early 20th Century - happens to be Miyazaki's favorite era.<br /><br />For the record, there is no official announcement for Miyazaki's future projects. We can assume that he's in the early production stages for his next feature film, which should close out Ghibli's 5-Year-Plan. He will also stay busy with short-form comics and probably short films for the Ghibli Museum. Beyond that, sorry, nothing. No Porco Rosso sequel.Daniel Thomas MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01406180871529775448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-40633074146332410252011-03-17T21:42:06.934-05:002011-03-17T21:42:06.934-05:00Miyazaki doesn't do sequels?

At the end of Cagliostro, when Clarisse is reunited with her dog and it licks her face. There is a similar shot in Nausicaa right after she saves Yupa from the Ohmu at the beginning, and the bird creatures lick her faceDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382686441276020325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-13827454296149511812011-03-17T18:21:31.836-05:002011-03-17T18:21:31.836-05:00What?

Miyazaki doesn't do sequels, and I can't ever end my essays on cliffhangers because I always get sidetracked.<br /><br />I didn't have a hidden agenda with the final sentence, honest. I was just trying to finish up and get to bed for a change (yawn). My only point was that all the major conflicts in the Nausicaa film remain unresolved, and there really isn't a "happy" ending. <br /><br />No, I'm afraid the only way there will be a Nausicaa "sequel" is if some weaselly Hollywood producer gets their evil claws on the rights after Miyazaki dies, and then Michael Bay is hired to direct. It would be loud and incredibly stupid, and outrage every Miyazaki fan in the world. It would then make $500 million at the box office, win all sorts of awards...and lo, the seventh seal would be broken and the world would end.
