Its been two weeks since Hayao Miyazaki announced his retirement and his latest and final film The Wind Rises is making its way to an American release.  

The film has been following its premiere  at the Venice Film Festival and The upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, Walt Disney Studios has revealed their multi-plan release for the film. After the release in November for the Academy Awards recognition the film will return to theaters in February 21, 2014 in a limited release than expanding into more theaters after February 28th. It is still likely that the film will be re dubbed just as previous Miyazaki American releases, but as of right now there is no word on who will be playing the characters in the English dub. 

"In “The Wind Rises,” Jiro—inspired by the famous Italian aeronautical designer Caproni—dreams of flying and designing beautiful airplanes. Nearsighted from a young age and thus unable to become a pilot, Jiro joins the aircraft division of a major Japanese engineering company in 1927. His genius is soon recognized, and he grows to become one of the world’s most accomplished airplane designers. The film chronicles much of his life, and depicts key historical events that deeply affected the course of Jiro’s life, including the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Great Depression, the tuberculosis epidemic and Japan’s plunge into war. He meets and falls in love with Nahoko, and grows and cherishes his friendship with his colleague Honjo. A tremendous innovator, Jiro leads the aviation world into the future. Miyazaki pays tribute to engineer Jiro Horikoshi and author Tatsuo Hori in his creation of the fictional character Jiro—the center of the epic tale of love, perseverance, and the challenges of living and making choices in a turbulent world."

The Wind Rises is out in Japan right now and will release is Taiwan on September 28th.
