I can't wait! Looks like another Miyazaki classic! ...except don't forget it's Miyazaki JR. that's in charge of it. ...I would hope his dad's talent runs in his blood too!

It will be interesting to see how the son of one of the most acclaimed directors in history handles the expectations.

Apparently, the elder Miyazaki is against his son being a director. I couldn't get more than that though, due to my inability to read Japanese.

In any case, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

It's going to be based on the Earthsea novels by Ursela LeGuin.

Let's hope it's better than that debacle the Sc-fi channel did.

Does anyone know anything about the stories this will be based on?

The stories are a series of fantasy books often found in the juvenile fiction section. The series goes rapidly downhill after the third book, but I would recommend the first three without hesitation:

A Wizard of Earthsea
The Tombs of Atuan
The Farthest Shore


The author didn't continue this series after the Farthest Shore until some 20 years later, so the books that follow it are substantially different in their tone (and in my opinion, significantly inferior). The other books in the series are as follows:

Tehanu
The Other Wind

Tales from Earthsea (a collection of short stories, including one that is meant to be a bridge story from Tehanu to The Other Wind)
