TALES OF EARTHSEA TRAILER

Ursula K. LeGuin's A WIZARD OF EARTHSEAStudio Ghibli's adaptation of Ursula K. LeGuin's A WIZARD OF EARTHSEA was supposed to post its trailer online tomorrow, but Catsuka scooped everyone by taping it off their TV when it aired and posting it today (as a downloadable RealPlayer file).

Directed, controversially, by Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro, it's a good looking clip that mostly shows off the landscape and includes very little action. I'm surprised to see that LeGuin's medieval world has been given the obligatory Ghibli upgrade to the 19th Century, but that's what Ghibli does. Also, it looks like the film's official title is now TALES FROM EARTHSEA.

(Thanks to Twitch for the heads up)
