However, Suzuki firmly denied that Miyazaki can release his next feature film in 2019 as proposed, saying that the plan is simply impossible.
Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki revealed more details about director Hayao Miyazaki’s proposed feature film at the Niconico ChÅkaigi 2017 convention on Saturday.
When asked if Miyazaki can finish the film while the director is still alive, Suzuki replied, “Hmm, I don’t know.”
However, Suzuki then said that Miyazaki has only drawn 20 minutes of storyboards so far, which is not a good sign of progress toward the previously proposed 2019 date.
