 Koji Hoshino the president of the legendary Japanese Animation company Studio Ghibli confirmed at the International Rome Film Festival that they'll announce there new project in New York on December 15th.
This is fantastic news as rumours that the iconic company may have to cut the studio staff down to a minimum which would mean the end of great animation but now the rumours would start on what that next project could be. One of those rumours is that possible movie could be a sequel to Porco Rosso or the other talk was it could be a project by the godfather of Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki.
1992 was when Porco Rosso was released and the possible project could be named Porco Rosso: The Last Sortie  with the movies protaginist flyinging into the Spanish Civil war and if this is to be the project it would be the studio's first ever sequel. As Ghibli was my introduction into the fantastic world of Japanese Anime I have followed the studio religiously  and like the source of this post I agree that this may not be the new project they'll annouce next month as Hoshino didnt seem to be very serious about the project as well this new one even going into development!

“If next two films succeed and Suzuki-san lets me make it (Porco)…It cannot be helped because it’s a hobby of the old man, I’m happy. It’s my hobby.”  -  as quoted in  Nausicaa.net, and looking at that quote it looks like that was referring to The Borrower Arrietty and  Isao Takahata's Tale of The Bamboo Cutter which is been directed at this moment. After Ponyo Miyazaki did say he planned to release another 2 movies and though Porco Rosso was a good movie it isnt one of the studio's best movies and hopefully Porco Rosso 2 wont be his next project but a “tragic story about a boy” which the vetren animator has always desired to make.

About 20  years ago its summer morning I get up switch on television I watch this animation which  just stunned me, beautifully drawn, well crafted story which memorised me and it wasn't until about 10 years later did I realise that animation I was watching was Laputa:Castle In The Sky. That day I woke up to Japanese animation and the magic of Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.
Anytime Anything new from Studio Ghibili is always worth a look and even when someone asks me 'Disney or Ghibili?' always Ghibli! Earlier in the year I posted the first teaser for Karigurashi No Arrietty (The Borrowers) and now another teaser trailer has appeared online. The movie is based on Mary Norton's The Borrowers classic story and the story is based around a family of tiny people who live hidden in a normal humansize house  surviving of 'borrowed' or discarded items.
The movie has been scheduled for a July 17th release in Japan but as for rest of the world no word yet but if they follow what they did for previous releases it could anything from next few months upto 2012 at least for UK & Ireland.

Tell us what you think of the trailer, what it after the break....

Here's the new fantastic teaser trailer for Studio Ghibli’s next released project Karigurashi No Arrietty (The Borrowers).
If you know Japanese cinema you know when animation (or anime) is released its a major thing and even more when its Studio Ghibli well its even bigger!!!The animation has been directed by Studio Ghibli’s youngest ever director (36 years old) Hiromasa Yonebayashi who has worked on the work by the great master Hayao Miyazaki’s classics Princess Mononoke, Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away. This is his directoral debut and if this is like the studio’s other work it will do well. The animation is based on the Mary Norton Book The Borrowers with the great man himself writing the screenplay.
Miyazaki and Isao Takahata his long time friend and partner have looked at creating the book for over 40 years and it must have been a great honour for Yonebayashi when they passed the project to him.The movie is due a Summer release in its native Japan, July 17th but for UK and Ireland we will probably have to wait at least 1 year or more if we do get a cinematic release date, USA possibly less.
synopsis: 14-year-old Arrietty and the rest of the Clock family live in peaceful anonymity as they make their own home from items “borrowed” from the house’s human inhabitants. However, life changes for the Clocks when a human boy discovers Arrietty. - imdb
