Interviewer: “This is something I heard from Kurosawa on a separate occasion, but he said ‘I want Miyazaki to make a live-action film.’”
In the same interview in which Miyazaki recounts being nervous while talking to him, the interviewer shares a hope Kurosawa had for the Ghibli founder.
There’s no one currently working as a filmmaker in Japan who’s more respected than Hayao Miyazaki.
With Kurosawa having passed away in 1998, there’s unfortunately no way to ask him what his exact sentiments were in wishing for a live-action Miyazaki film.
