I can't recognize half of those names, but it's getting a dub! Kick-ass. It sucks that the movie is being held from a U.S. release because of the Sci-Fi movie, that's stupid. I'll probably import it.

Likewise I am probably going to import it as well, I must say I am pretty excited about the dub cast. Now to find this on the internet, I wonder how much the dub version will run me. |

The two that stand out the most to me are Willem Dafoe and Mariska Hargitay. For those of us who watch movies, Willem Dafoe usually plays the crazy villian in films he has done. The perfect example of this is in the live-action Spider-Man movies as The Green Goblin. You can find out more about him here and here. Mariska Hargitay (pronounced mar-RISH-ka) is mostly known for her portrayal of SVU Detective Olivia Benson in the long-running Law & Order: Special Victims Unit TV series. You can find out more about her here and here. It is very interesting to see that they dubbed it and release it in Japan. Are dubs with American actors popular in Japan? Anyways, it is great to see some of my favorite actors doing a wide variety of work. |

I'm actually surprised I know so many. Timothy Dalton - James Bond imdb Willem Dafoe- in lots of movies but I think most here will know him as the Green Goblin from Spiderman imdb Matt Levin Starship Troopers imdb Cheech Marin - It's Cheech Marinimdb Mariska Hargitay - Det. Olivia Benson in Law and Order: SVUimdb Blaire Restaneo The only one I didn't know..but it looks like she's rather new imdb |

I really dislike how ANN doesn't report about Australia.
Earthsea premiered in Australia back in APRIL and has been on a national tour since then www.talesfromearthsea.com.au yet there's mentions about UK screenings in August??? A 2 disc Limited Edition is coming out in September. It's already on the Madman B2B site. http://b2b.madman.com.au/actions/catalogue.do?method=view&releaseId=8090 |

At least Aussies have their own version of ANN... Whether they choose to report it or not would be their own decision. EDIT: Beaten |

Mariska Hargitay is the daughter of Hungarian-born champion bodybuilder Mickey Hargitay and 1950s/1960s Hollywood blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield. I enjoy her work on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
Studio Ghibli films, which are distributed in Japan by Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment Japan, are an exception. I have a number of Japanese Region 2 DVDs. Japanese Region 2 DVDs of Hollywood and Western films that I have include the original language track, Japanese subtitles, and a Japanese dub. None of the Japanese Region 2 DVDs that I have of Japanese animation (anime) have English or other non-Japanese language dubs. Tales from Earthsea will likely be the first Japanese Region 2 DVD of a Japanese animation title I get that has an English dub. |

For those in America who are going to import it, I can only hope you don't pay too much for this movie.
It was pretty bad, and the worst Ghibli movie I've seen so far. |

Ah, I definitely recognize the faces. The names didn't ring a bell, though. Thanks for the imdb links!
Eh, people said the same thing about Steamboy and how crappy it was. I thought it was solid. |

Not a bad cast. And I'm sure they are all excited to be in a "Miyazaki" movie

Taking that with a grain of salt, considering I loathed Spirited Away (which seems to be a "Ghibli fan favorite"). Not to mention the fact that as a huge Earthsea enthusiast, I'm getting it no matter what. I'm not going to be viewing it as a "Ghibli fan" but as an Earthsea fan, so I think at this point, outside opinion is pretty moot to me. |

That's pretty awesome. Actually, if the sub version is up to snuff (I got a hong kong bootleg of Scrapped princess where the translation was f'ing garbage-unwittingly, mind you) I may just import it myself.

Sergeant Grodin, James Bond and Cheech Marin? I first heard of the whole Earthsea series through this anime. Probably going to pick it up when it comes out in the UK (supposedly in August)
Going to pick this up as a Ghibli fan and anime fanboy. |
