In English

The current plan is to theater release Mononoke Hime in North America in the second quarter of 1999 through Miramax. However, nothing is official yet. It will be dubbed, but a subtitle version isn't totally out of question. Neil Gaiman, the writer of "The Sandman", is currently working on the English script of Mononoke Hime. The voice cast includes Claire Danes (Romeo & Juliet, The Rainmaker) as San, Gillian Anderson (X-Files) as Moro the Wolf God, Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting) as Eboshi, and Billy Crudup (Sleepers) as Ashitaka.
