A little while back, we brought you the rumor that the Studio Ghibli feature Kiki’s Delivery Servicewas being made into a live-action film, with Japanese horror director Takashi Shimizu on board to direct. Original details were sketchy, but with the announcement made today, brought to us by Japanverse, the rumors are now confirmed.
Takashi Shimizu will direct a live-action Kiki’s Delivery Service, but Studio Ghibli will not be involved in the production. When asked of their possible involvement, the production company denied any involvement in the live action film slated for Spring 2014.
Kiki’s Delivery Service will be based on the first two volumes in the series Majo no Takkyūbin, both written by Eiko Kadono and later adapted into the animated movie from Hayao Miyazaki. Kind of a let down, but it’s unlikely that any studio would license their concepts to be used in a film they have absolutely no involvement in.
Don’t fret, Studio Ghibli has it’s own live action short in the works. You can look forward to giant robot action, and this one is actually produced by Studio Ghibli.
Originally played in theaters along with Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, the nine minute short Giant God Warrior Appears inTokyo, is actually the studio’s first live-action effort. Featuring a monster design by Miyazaki (seen above) the short has been pulled due to a copyright claim by the studio, so watch it while you thanks to our friends at Dread Central before it’s too late.
“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo) is a short Tokusatsu movie created as a promotional video for the “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Exhibition” at “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Museum”, which has Anno Hideaki (Eva’s director) as museum director, in Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The movie was proposed to be shown with “Evangelion 3.0” by Suzuki Toshio and Anno Hideaki agreed with that. As a movie version, its pictures and sounds will we re-modified and it has the total length of 10:07 minutes. The movie features “Kyoshinhei” (Giant God Warriors) from “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” and it was made to show the fascination and the fun of Miniature Tokusatsu.”
At least we know what a can be done with the studio’s help, just think of what they can do if they were to do a live-action film.
Each and every week we scour the Internet for nothing but the best in nerdy art. We leave no digital stone unturned, we poke and prod every nook and cranny of the Interwebz. Why? Because we love you, and we love to bring you weekly feed of nerd art.
On with the dump!
Above: Aww, a sad Doctor swinging on a swing, but an amazing painting by artist James Hance. The painter, who previously did work on the Winnie the Pooh/Star Wars paintings has done a series of incredible paints featuring Doctor Who‘s9th, 10th and 11th doctors. Curse you for making us feel emotion, James. [Nerd Apporved]

If you, or someone you know, has boobs awesome enough to require their own galaxy, you need this corset from Etsy seller Fash N’ Fuel.
This steampunk AT-AT was all over the internet yesterday. We first saw it via ThinkGeek’s Twitter, but the gals at the Mary Sue have more images of it. By the way, it was made by Broken Journalist as an engagement gift to his finance. This is what you all must live up to, gentlemen!
Nerdify your keyboard with these superhero (and villain!) decals from Killer Duck Decals. They make a lot of other geeky decals, but the ones for the keyboard are my favorite.
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! Funko now makes a little Alien Pop! and there’s also a little Predator Pop! and a little She-Ra Pop! to shut that shit down if the intergalactic warfare between those two gets to be too much. Can you tell I’m slightly excited by Funko’s new 80s inspired Pop! figures? You should be too. [the Mary Sue]
Fashionably Geek describes this as the nerdiest tattoo you will see all day. I think it’s the nerdiest tattoo you will see EVER. It’s a combo of HitchHicker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings. Can’t get much nerdier, can you?
I’m not sure it’s possible for me to get through a Nerdy Bits column without posting some TARDIS cosplay. But this lovely steampunk TARDIS is from Mental Floss’ collection of 10 TARDIS dresses for fancy occasions. The article has some incarnations of the Doctor’s Wife we’ve seen before and some that we haven’t, including a dress that would perfect for prom.
Okay, so the commercial for these QR code interactive bedtime story PJs is pretty lame, but the concept is cool. It might be the only time anyone will ever use a QR code. [Bit Rebels]
To kick off Philly Tech Week, Dr. Frank Lee, from Drexel University, created a gigantic game of Pong on the side of a building. The three-story paddles were controlled via laptop. [the Verge]
