The Wind Rises
Things are starting to shape up for the upcoming and still un-dated English language adaptation of The Wind Rises, the final film from Hayao Miyazaki through Studio Ghibli. Disney has not set a date for it but it has put together a solid cast, which is currently working through the material as Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who is quite busy on Twitter these days between this and Sandman) has posted about his session with a bit of the visual included.
