A Live Action Stage Adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ is Set to Debut This Fall
A live-action stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 film ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ is set to debut this fall.
The stage adaptation is being spearheaded by famed Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi and the Royal Shakespeare Company. It’s set to open at London’s Barbican arts complex in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, as reported by Variety.
Hisaishi said regarding the adaptation, “In Japan, many people are passionate about theatre and musicals, but there are no original Japanese shows or musicals performed in the world. ‘Totoro’ is a Japanese work famous throughout the world, and so this stage adaptation could have the potential to reach global audiences. That’s what I thought, and I told Mr. Miyazaki ‘I want to see such a show’ and he said ‘yes, only if you are going to do it.’”

Prime Video released a first look at the upcoming series ‘Expats’ directed by Lulu Wang and starring Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue, Ji-young Yoo, Brian Tee, Amelyn Pardenilla, and others.
It’s described as the following: “Set against the vibrant and tumultuous tapestry of 2014 Hong Kong, Expats centers on three American women—Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Sarayu Blue), and Mercy (Ji-young Yoo)—whose lives intersect after a sudden family tragedy. The series interrogates privilege and explores what happens when the line between victimhood and culpability becomes blurred.”

The film is described to follow “Anne (Awkwafina), a brilliant but tightly wound game show obsessee, and her estranged train wreck of a sibling, Jenny (Sandra Oh), as they come together to pay off their mother’s gambling debt. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped the sisters set out on a wild, cross-country trek to earn cash the best way they know how: By turning Anne into a game show champion. And doing so might just bring this dysfunctional family together.”
