The Future of Ghibli US Releases

ChibiOne writes "Nausicaa.net is reporting very interesting news regarding the US release for the works of (Hayao Miyazaki's) Studio Ghibli. Steven Alpert (VP at Tokuma International, parent of Studio Ghibli) spoke after the screening of "Porco Rosso" in New York and revealed several new release plans. AnimeOnDVD has a complete report." It says "every Ghibli feature film should be released in the US by the end of next year" as well as a widescreen re-release of Totoro. Here's hoping!

    Did all those Golden Rasberries and that apalling IMDB rating not dissuade them from any further releases?

      I know a couple called Rebecca and Mark, or ReMark for short.

      How is this relevant, you ask? Well it's relevant because I find it ReMarkable that you tried to pull off such a bad Ghibli/Gigli gag.

      I thought my sense of humour was whack but you're so bad you make me look like Chris Rock...

    Ghibli, wasn't that the movie with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez? It opened a while back. I don't think anyone saw it, so maybe they are trying again.
