09/12/2006 Entry: "Miyazaki, LeGuin, and Earthsea"

Girlhacker tells the story of Ursula K. Le Guin, Hayao Miyazaki, and his son Goro. Goro has directed his first film, "Gedo Senki", based on Le Guin's Earthsea series (her account of this). "A new correspondence with Studio Ghibli began and she gave her consent to a film but was soon disappointed to learn that Goro would be taking over the film. His father was completely uninvolved. Le Guin's review of the resulting film seems disappointed, but not entirely negative. She knows that much worse has resulted from film adaptations and, more pointedly, the SciFi Channel's TV adaptation."
