First Trailer Released for Studio Ghibli’s ‘When Marnie Was There’

Here’s the first trailer for Studio Ghibli’s next movie, When Marnie Was There (Omoide no Marni). Hiromasa Yonebayashi (The Secret World of Arrietty) is co-writing and directing.

         

The film is from The Secret World of Arriety director Yonebayashi Hiromasa, and is based on the 1981 children’s book of the same name by Joan G. Robinson. In the book, an adopted girl makes a ghostly friend by the English seaside, but the film adaptation sees the location moved to Japan. Niwa Keiko (From Up on Poppy Hill) and Ando Masahi (a character designer on Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke) wrote the screenplay.
