Acclaimed director Makoto Shinkai behind heart-wrenching anime films Your Name and Weathering With You just teased his newest film project and we can hardly contain our excitement!
On Twitter, Shinkai shared a photo showing his work in progress.
“I’m gradually assembling my new work while following the pace of the production of ‘Weathering With You’ three years ago. I don’t have the brainpower to imagine the story, the characters, and the visuals all at once, so I’ve been working on it for months and months, trying to build it up and break it down again. It’s already early summer…” he wrote.
三年前の『天気の子』の制作ペースを追いかけながら、新作をすこしずつ組み立てています。物語もキャラクターもビジュアルも一息にイメージ出来てしまうような筋力は僕には全くなく、すこしずつ組んではまた崩すようなもどかしい時間ばかりが何ヶ月も続いています。もう初夏ですねえ、、、。 pic.twitter.com/czH0lXNEGs

He revealed to fans before that he has been struggling to come up with a new story. “I’ve been writing the screenplay for my new film for the past two months, and every day I don’t know what to think about now, what to say, or what we want to see in a few years. But I still write anyway.”
この２ヶ月ほど新作映画の脚本を書き続けているんですが、いまなにを考えれば良いのか、なにを語ればよいのか、数年後に僕たちはなにを観たいのか、日々わからなくなります。それでもとにかく書くのですけれど。 pic.twitter.com/NgIuxC74qc

Sadly, this means that it may take a while before we get to see his new project come to life. But we’ll be counting the days until we do!
