2023 just got quite a bit better. After recent news that legendary director Hayao Miyazaki was putting the finishing touches on his first film in a decade, following 2013’s The Wind Rises, a release date has now been confirmed by Studio Ghibli.
The project, titled Kimi-tachi wa Dō Ikiru ka (which translates to How Do You Live?), has been set for a July 14, 2023 release in Japan, which hopefully means a U.S. release is in store before the end of 2023. The film is inspired by Genzaburo Yoshino’s novel of the same name, which follows a 15-year-old boy named Koperu and his uncle, who move to a new neighborhood, as the kid deals with bullying, poverty, education, work, courage, and progress.
However, Miyazaki’s take is said to be an original version simply loosely inspired by the novel. Check out the unveiling of a teaser poster, featuring a character drawn by Miyazaki.

J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Japan-based Toho Co. will adapt Makoto Shinkai’s 2016 Japanese anime hit “Your Name” into a live-action feature for Paramount Pictures., adapted by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Eric Heisserer (“Arrival”).
“Your Name,” which drew Oscar buzz last year when the Los Angeles Film Critics Association named it the year’s best animated film, tells the story of a teenage boy and girl from different backgrounds who discover they can swap bodies. They become desperate to cross space and time to find a way to meet and stop an impending disaster.
“There’s still more to gawk at in any single frame of this film than there is in the entirety of ‘Frozen,’ wrote IndieWire’s David Ehrlich in his ‘B’ review last December. “And ‘Your Name’ only gets more beautiful as it grows more grandiose, as every lonely train ride and periwinkle sunset glistens with the bittersweet glow of regret.
