Isao Takahata, on Thursday. Both are scheduled to open throughout Japan next summer.
In February 2009, Miyazaki Tatsuo Hori also wrote a novel called Kaze Tachinu, and the film's tagline references both real-life figures and paraphrases Hori's book: "Show respect for Jiro Horikoshi and Tatsuo Hori. We must try to live." (Hori himself was reportedly quoting Paul Valéry's "Le cimetière marin" or "The Graveyard By The Sea" poem, which read, "Le vent se lève! . . . il faut tenter de vivre!" or "The Wind Is Rising! . . . We must try to live!")

Takahata already Crime and Punishment."

TOHO had already ed the domains for the websites for these two films, but it opened the websites on Thursday.
Both films will open on the same day, but separately. The last time that Miyazaki and Takahata had films opening on the same day, or even in the same year, was a quarter of a century ago when Miyazaki's Grave of the Fireflies were shown back-to-back in Japan in 1988.
