Title: Howl's Moving Castle
Post by: HanyaanFaery on February 07, 2005, 07:20:39 AM
Anybody seen this? Anybody heard of it? Has anybody actually read the book?

(I've seen the movie three times, and read the book fifty-three times, and I was the first HMC cosplayer in America, so yeah, you could say I'm a fan.)

Soooo much advertising on TV in Tokyo last month... I'd have seen it in theaters if I hadn't been sick as hell :(

Read the book. I haven't watched the WHOLE movie yet cause I suffered Jet lag and fell asleep before finishing the movie ;_;

It certainly is a adorable concept though.

And OMG so many Howls :3

It is, but you'll have to look pretty hard to find it, and all the versions I've seen are raw with separate subtitle files. And you'll have to be careful; one of the versions is the worst-quality cam I have ever seen, EVER.

Also, it's being released in theaters in America in June. ^_^

I don't know for sure but if it has gone like the others have before it'll be Dubbed. But then again it depends on where you go. Some theatres will show it subbed. So it's up in the air.

I'm pretty sure if Disney distributes it (highly likely since they've gained the rights to distribute and dub the ghibli films) it will be a dubbed version, but the dvd will have both dubbed and subbed as usual (I like to watch the movies in both languages). Upside is, Disney tends to get some top name talents to dub, for instance, Uma Thurman was a voice in Nausicca...

News: They've announced release dates and most of the cast.

Christian Bale is playing Howl, Jean Simmons is Old Sophie, Lauren Bacall is the Witch of the Waste, Billy Crystal is Calcifer, and Blythe Danner is Madame Suliman.

It opens June 10 in NYC, LA, and SF, and moves into wider release on June 17. It's planned to be released in about 800 theaters.

This may be the big one for anime, folks.

I can't wait to see this one... on DVD.  I have a hunch none of the theaters near me will be showing the OL version.   :(  The R3 is believed to be released on July 31 so that puts the R2 release hopefully around June.

Does anyone know where it'll be showing in SF yet? I'm all excited now.

It's playing at the Kabuki 8 Theatre in S.F.  And from the advertisements I've seen, Howl sounds a lot like Brad Pitt.

Unfortunately, it will have to win an Oscar before it will play in Fresno.

The voice for Howl is actually done by Christian Bale. (Batman Begins)

Ed will say yea or nay  :D but I've noticed that No Name, San Jose, www.nnanime.com will show the sub a few months after the movie's been shown in the theatre (sorta like how movie companies release the DVD, but with more lag time  :D

Billy Crystal is doing anime! Woohoo!

It's great that Howl arrived in the theater here before the Region 2 DVD release in Japan. But it's too early to answer if No-Name will show it until there's a DVD released there (or here).

i was lucky to get to see the sub on the big screen in boston. they were alternating sub and dub for the showings, and you didn't know which one you were gunna see til you got to the theater.

i LOVE that movie! i think it's one of Miyazaki's best. i need to hunt down the books now cuz i don't read enough.

I need to watch the sub sometime. ~adds to long list of things to watch~
Too bad I missed it when it was in the theaters. (Assuming my friend was right that it was no longer there.)
Was the theater one a dub?

Yeah it's out on R2.  They had in limited quantity a bonus clip from the film that's inside some sort of glass thing. Mine has Howl's castle and Sophie.  I envy those who got the one from the eggs and bacon scene.

I just got my box set today from Jungle.  It has the movie, with Japaneese, English, and French audio/subtitles, and a second DVD with Ghibli shorts, and commercials including the "On Your Mark" video ( they still have some Movie only packages left in stock if anyone is still trying to get a copy).
