I am going to watch it anyway, so seeing footage before hand doesn’t really add anything for me.
Same here, but it’s a bold decision. I don’t recall any major movie that didn’t release any footage before its release.
I wonder what their reasoning behind it is. Concerns about potential spoilers? Them not liking the trailers for their previous movies?
Most of the time Miyazaki does his own thing, so I can’t really say what their reasoning is, but he does put out classics, so he gets the benefit of the doubt in a way a lot of studios and creators do not.
I had no idea Miyazaki had another movie coming out, I hope we don’t need to wait too long for an international release. I think GKids handles Ghibli now but I don’t know their usual release timelines.
