The Howl That Could Have Been
Date: 2/3/2005
Digimon Adventure Director Mamoru Hosoda was originally attached to direct the animated film adaptation of Diana Wynn Jones's Howl's Moving Castle in spring 2003 but left the production midway. Director Hayao Miyazaki picked up the reigns on the project that writer Yoshida Reiko and Hosoda were developing. Miyazaki's name is singularly attributed with the credit for the existing film's script.
