Howl's Moving Castle
« on: July 18, 2004, 05:18:08 PM »
yeah, I didn't know if there was already a thread for this, but...

Trailer!

http://www.pathea.com/ghibli/2000/howl/Howl_Trailer_20040626.avi


Or, just look at the page and link to it yourself.  Since the trailer is of course in Japanese, those who haven't read the book may be completely lost.  They have tranlated the text on the site.

ETA: I personally think that Calcifer is shown as being much cuter than he ought to be, but he's too cute for me to complain that much.

You *definitely* need to read Howl's Moving Castle.  It's one of my favorites of her books!

Calcifer does not, however, have cute little stubby legs.

Assuming it even comes to Utah....

I'm looking forward to it.  As far as I know, it's the first adaptation of a major English language fantasy novel into an anime format.  The book was pretty good, and I'm very interested to see Miazaki's interpretation.

And yes.  The fire demon looks FAR too cute in that trailer.

I'm sure it will come to Utah, Jordan's commons will get it just like they did the last two Miazaki films.

There is an american trailer (ie, in English) here:

http://aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=19966

Calcifer only shows up once in it, but he definitely isn't cute. It looks so freakin' good.

If I had any clue, would I be here?

I'm sure I'll enjoy the movie, I'll just always be sad because I know I will NEVER get my husband to read the book and he'll never know how good it is.

Yea, I absolutely LOVED this book. My first Diana Wynne Jones read, and now I am an avid fan. I liked Spirited Away, so when I learned from the DWJ website that Howls was being made into a movie by the same guy who did Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service, I was very excited. And that was like last year.

Since then, EUOL has introduced me to the other anime films by Miyosaki (excuse me for probably butchering his name) such as Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke. I am VERY interested in seeing his interpretation of DWJ's Howls, so as soon as anyone knows it is in theaters let us know here.

EUOL informed me that Howl's Moving Castle IS coming to Salt Lake. It will be at Jordans Commons as of June 17. We don't know if it will be at any other theaters. I am way excited, and can't wait to see it.  ;D

Howl's party on the 17th or 18th, then.  Chimera will be going.  Who else is in?  We could do a matinee, for those who can do such things.  Actually, a 5:00 showing would work perfectly, since I'll have to be in Salt Lake anyway that evening for writing group.

Is that next Friday? If so, I'd like to come. But I can't make a 5:00 pm showing.

I'd be available for a Saturday showing virtually any time.
