 Miyazaki continues!

The new Screen International (No. 1490, 25th February) carries an interview with Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki, conducted by Mark Schilling. Most interesting quote:
"A notorious perfectionist and workaholic, Miyazaki is already busy with his next project, which is pencilled in for a 2007 or 2008 release. 'He's good for another ten years at least,' insists Suzuki. 'He has no plans to retire.'"
Other things: "Ghibli is planning two 30-minute animations, that may be helmed by someone other than Miyazaki. They will be released in a double-bill, tentatively in the summer of 2006. The stories are still a secret, Suzuki says."
- " (Suzuki) does not intend to change Ghibli's release pattern of a new Miyazaki every 3 years. "People are eager to see his films because he doesn't make them quickly," says Suzuki. "If he made one a year, they wouldn't be nearly as interested." Pixar, suggests Suzuki, "ought to slow down."
- There are "no plans" for any special comemoration of Studio Ghibli's 20th birthday.
- "In South Korea, Howl is on its way to five million admissions, a record for a Japanese film."
- "Inside the lobby of their headquarters, Miyazaki, Suzuki and the semi-retired Takahata all have their punchcards in a rack, together with those of the studio's hundred or so other employees."
I knew that good ol' Miyazaki wouldn't give up so easily.
