Miyazaki himself gave his blessing to this live-action version of Kiki’s Delivery Service, a Studio Ghibli film from 1989.

Oh — and it’s directed by Takashi Shimizu who also directed The Grudge series and Ju-On (the Japanese inspiration for the franchise).

The film is slated for a March 1, 2014 release date in Japan.
