Viz Does Howl's Moving Castle Date: 4/21/2005 |
Art of, Film Comics, Picture Book Viz Media has announced a publishing program based on Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle, due out here in June (see "Howl's Moving Castle in 800 U.S. Theaters"). First up is The Art of Howl's Moving Castle, which will street in July. In August, a series of film comics will be launched. And in October, the Howl's Moving Castle Picture Book will be released. This movie did great in Japan (see "Next Miyazaki Film Rocking in Japan"), and while it's not likely to have the same kind of impact in theaters here, it will be popular among the anime cognoscenti and probably enjoy strong DVD sales. Viz also did a publishing program around Spirited Away, Miyazaki's last (Oscar-winning) film. |
