The Asia Pacific Screen Awards, now in their sixth year, aim to "recognize and promote the cinematic excellence and cultural diversity of the vast Asia Pacific region." The organization is headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and credits their awards as "the region’s highest accolade in film," holding an annual ceremony in November since 2007. This year's event is scheduled to take place on November 23, 2012 in Brisbane and will be streamed live online.
Studio Ghibli shares their nomination in the "Best Animated Feature Film" category with fellow Japanese productions A Letter to Momo (Momo e no Tegami), Rainbow Fireflies (Niji-Iro Hotaru: Eien no Natsu Yasumi), and Wolf Children (Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki). Happy Feet Two, the sole film from Australia, rounds out the nominations.
GKIDS will handle theatrical and home video distribution of From Up on Poppy Hill in North America. A theatrical release date of March 15, 2013 has been set for New York and Los Angeles with more cities in the following weeks. The English dub cast was previously revealed late last week and includes Sarah Bolger and Anton Yelchin in the lead roles, with well-known actors Ron Howard, Jamie Lee Curtis, Gillian Anderson, and Beau Bridges voicing supporting characters. An English-language trailer is expected to be released sometime this fall.
Hermosa película, con muchos detalles para observar (y reflexiones para hacer). Igual, prefiero las voces en su idioma original.
