(September '98, Jeremy Blackman's questions answered courtesy of Martin Blythe of Buena Vista.) Q: Will there be subtitles of the other films [other than Kiki's Delivery Service] ? A: Most likely. Everything depends on how we do with the sub-titled KIKI. Q: For the subtitles, will they be based off existing sub scripts, a direct translation, or use the dub scripts? A: Direct translation then approved/changed by Tokuma/Ghibli.
About Neil GaimanGaiman is the creator/writer of the monthly DC Comics cult series "Sandman" which has won numerous honors including the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for the Best Writer four years in a row; the Best Graphic Album - reprint award in 1991, and the best graphic album - New Award in 1993. In addition, at the annual Harvey Awards, Gaiman was named Best Writer two years in a row, and "Sandman" was named Best Continuing Series in 1992. "Sandman" #19 also took the 1991 World Fantasy Award for the best short story - the first comic book ever to be honored with a literary award. The Sandman collections have sold over 750,000 copies in paperback and hardcover, and Warner Bros. has optioned rights for a "Sandman" feature film.
The script was finished in June or July (1998), and they have

"I couldn't be more excited to write this script" "My goal is to remain faithful to the story while providing a translation that a non-Japanese audience will be able to follow. To that end, I've been researching Japanese folklore."
I'm not actually translating it. There is already a literal translation of the 'Great Beast, who comes from a place no-one knows, still your wrath and do not stay here" kind. What I'm doing is turning it into lines that people can say. As for why:
A) Harvey Weinstein asked me, and he asked very nicely.
