Miyazaki Considers Porco Rosso Sequel

Famed anime director Hayao Miyazaki may be making a sequel to one of his earlier and lesser-known films, according to a translated interview at the fan site Nausicaa.net.

Porco Rosso: The Last Sortie would be a follow up to Miyazaki’s 1992 film Porco Rosso, about a pilot transformed into a pig who hunts air pirates in post-World War I Europe.

In talking about the film for the September issue of the Japanese magazine Cut, Miyazaki said he has all the materials for the film, which will be set in the Spanish Civil War.
