The Boy and the Heron, Hayao Miyazaki’s first feature film in a decade, probably won’t be his last after all. Studio Ghibli executive Junichi Nishioka told CBC News that not only does he not feel like retiring anymore, he’s actively coming into work to create yet another film.
Something tells me even when he dies he’ll still find a way to keep making films.
I get the feeling he just likes making movies too much, at which point, why even bother trying to retire?
Yes, just have to train an ai LLM on his real life and works.
Then we can have generic uninteresting movies with the same look and feel on the surface, but none of the heart.
In a way it’s progress. Future writier might be able to add heart and use the ai to produce the parts they have less skill in.
