Comte handled sales on Hosoda’s previous film The Boy and The Beast when he was deputy head of sales at Gaumont.
At a press conference to announce Mamoru Hosoda’s new Mirai no Mirai (Mirai in the Future) film on Wednesday, director Mamoru Hosoda and producer Yuichiro Saito discussed more details about the film.
Yohei Takamatsu and Takashi Omori, who Hosoda had previously worked with on The Boy and The Beast, are also returning as art directors for the film.
In the midst of it all, he meets an older version of Mirai, who has come from the future.
