Earthsea Becomes An Anime
Japan's Studio Ghibli, the Japanese studio and home of anime master Hayao Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle), announced that it will adapt Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea fantasy novel series in an animated movie called Gedo Senki (Tales From Earthsea), the IGN FilmForce Web site reported. Gedo Senki will be released in Japan in July 2006 and will be based on the third and fourth books in Le Guin's six-volume series, which was first published in 1968, the site reported.
Miyazaki's son, Goro Miyazaki, is making his feature directing debut with the film, about the journey of a wizard named Ged and Prince Arrenis.
Le Guin's series was previously adapted as Legend of Earthsea, a live-action miniseries that aired on the SCI FI Channel in 2004.
