Now in his sixth decade 💮of di🌟recting animated films and responsible for a dozen Studio Ghibli classics, Hayao Miyazaki surely has nothing left to prove in the industry.

According to his son Goro Miyazaki during a talk at the Ghibli Museum, however, the legendarꩵy director may be feeling nostalgic for his next feature (via and translated by ).

"I don't know if it'll actually be for his next film, but it's looking like an action-adventure-type movie, nostalgic and reminiscent of the old days," Goro Miyazaki said, while adding that his father’s hobby of making ‘panoramic boxes of previous works’ during production of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Boy and the Heron has led to work beginning on the new project.

While the original machine translation on Oricon makes a loose reference to a ‘sequel’ – one that looks to be a little lost in translation, if you ask us – some fans are convin🐼ced Miyazaki’s new film is going to be a follow-up to 1984’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, encompassing the full manga story written by Miyazaki that eventually concluded in 1994.

"This confirms it's a Nausicaa sequel," one . Another , "If actually t🍨rue, pointing towards b༒eing a Nausicaa sequel."

"Getting more casual Ghibli fans into Nausicaa by making ꧒a sequel could be Miyazaki's masterstroke," one . "That movie is mindblowingly imaginative and i can onl൩y dream of what sort of stuff it might inspire."

Nausicaä of the Valley, which was later released in an uncut, dubbed version by Disney in 2005, is often regarded as one of Miyazaki’s greatest works – a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure with a strong environment♍al message that features its hero, Nausicaa, working to save the Valley of the Wind and fulfilling a prophecy.

Previously, whispers intensified after a making-of documentary of The Boy and the Heron featured artwork of Nausicaa and her pet, Teto. During a section 𝓡on the director’s future, Miyazaki said – curiously – that it’s "painful to return to this world." (H/T ). Watch this space.
