What would a director’s cut accomplish? How about releasing from its hostage state the end of the film, the part I MOST wanted to see of the whole damn book, and which I’m *still* waiting to see….I refuse to buy a copy of the DVD which does not have this end. I think it was a terrible move that they didn’t release this end on the DVD, when they already knew that they weren’t making another film….

I’m saddened to hear that New Line is the one responsible, and bad that I had blamed Weitz before about the ending cut, etc….but yeah, more than anything I want to see Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman have their scene, and it frustrates me so much that the material/footage is out there, and yet we have no access to it for the forseeable future….

I get what you mean, Grissha. I love the movie and book versions Howl’s Moving Castle equally, but I don’t guess HDM would be quite the same thing.
But it would be beautiful!

Oh yeah, and Joe Hisaishi’s score should be as beautiful as Alexandre Desplat’s.

Surely Miyazaki would make a wonderful film. But in other hand, I think he would do more a, so to speak, Miyazaki movie than a HDM movie.

Taking “Howl’s Moving Castle”, for example. A brilliant film, but it’s otherwise equal to the book only to the half. Not that I’m complaining, the movie is perfect as it is. But I wouldn’t wish this to HDM. I wouldn’t like to sse, say, Mrs. Coulter becoming good (like the Witch of the Waste, which in the book is the main villain, and in the movie becomes an ally).

But it’s tempting to imagine Jordan College, the gyptians, the bears, the flying machines, the Aurora and the bridge to the stars, by Miyazaki’s hands. It should be just gorgeous.
