posted on by Andrew Osmond
A Kickstarter appeal to fund a short British live-action fan film inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke has met its target of £29,000. According to the film's twitter feed, the total was reached on the final day with only minutes to spare, and the last 15% of the total was made in the final quarter-hour.
The feed's owner commented: "Do or do not - there is no try. And we did. WE FREAKING DID! Thank you everyone! This means everything!" The final total raised was £29,895 from 238 backers.
The film will be a sequel called Wolf Girl, set 600 years after the events of Miyazaki's story. 'What if the forest needed a princess once again?' The Kickstarter film is below:
Directed by Nate Drake, the film is planned to include creature effects and CGI. So far, the film-makers have created the script, concept art, test footage and costume design, and aim to deliver the film by spring 2014. The concept trailer is below:
The film also has a website, facebook page and twitter account.
