I wonder if this will improve Japanese/Chinese relations...Also, given the problems with Geisha, I wonder what will be the nationality of the voice actors.

That's a good point, because they're a bit tense. This should be interesting.

Oh, they'll be Japanese, no doubt. Miyazaki has always stated that his films are aimed at the Japanese audience, which to him, consists mostly of children and their parents. A Chinese spoken, Japanese subtitled version just wouldn't work. Ghibli has always worked in the Japanese language and I highly doubt an incident such as the Geisha thing will affect that course.

Is Miyazaki going to have a hand in this? It didn't mention him

Well there's always been a strong cultural exchange between Japan and China. Yes, there's some conflicts, but it's no different from the French and British, who have also had a long and turbulent history with each other. And please, for the love of God, let's hope this thread doesn't turn into yet another one of those Chinese/Japanese WWII history debates

Nope, his films are on a 3-year schedule (aka the next one should be done in 2007ish). This will be a smaller project, a la Neko no Ongaeshi/The Cat Returns, if it ends up being true (the original post on the MML said it was just a rumor at this point).

They'll obviously be Japanese for the Japanese version, and Chinese for the Chinese version. That's how things ususally work now, and I don't see it change in the future.

I think this is a mistake. Nausicaa.net says the novel is 50,000 words long (which sounds more reasonable... I've never heard of any written work made up of only 5000 words classified as a "novel.")
I'm looking forward to this. I just hope the project doesn't fall through..

Uh, I hate to tell whoever got the name of the book but part of the book name you gave is spelled wrong. "Wo" and "shile" makes no sense in Chinese because you've miss spelled the pin-ying. I think you're trying to spell "Wuo diu shi le wuo de xiao nan hai".
Anywayz, with this movie it looks like I'll have something to look for when I'm in China this summer. I wonder what the movie will look like...

Well, it's not that they really messed it up. "Wo" is still correct, it all depends on how you romanize it, considering it's pronounced with the 3rd tone. Although from my perspective, I've rarely seen it typed as "wuo" instead. Maybe it's just me ::shrugs:: The "shile" thing isn't that big of deal either, since they probably just forgot to put a space in btw.

I took Mandarin for 5 years, and never saw "wuo"... I've always known it to be "wo."
Anyway, I'm all for new Ghibli movies. I hope some of the people living in China come post, so they can tell us more about the book! I wonder who will be manning this project.

So, does this mean that Miyazaki is not doing "I Lost my Little Boy," but instead working on something else? That's what the press release seems to be saying.

Totally. You, of all people, know that I could care less about Miyazaki's work at this point in time, but Tonari no Yamada-kun is one of my favorite movies of all time.
