Now comes word that another of director Hayao Miyazaki’s films is being transformed into a live-action stage version, and this time it’s his biggest hit of all, Spirited Away.
Helming the project is Canadian-born British stage director and playwright John Caird, who will handle both the script and direction for the project.
In 2019, classic Studio Ghibli anime Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was adapted into a kabuki play.
Hayao Miyazaki gives blessing after meeting with Caird to project that’s been in development for four years.
