A live action version of Kiki’s Delivery Service has been announced. The film will be directed by Juon (a.k.a. The Grugde) director Takashi Shimizu. Kiki will be portrayed by Fuka Koshiba, a 16 year old ice skater turned actress.
The film won’t necessarily be a remake of Miyazaki’s animated classic, but will instead be a new adaptation based on the original novel by Japanese author Eiko Kadono.

In recent years, the store has put in place a computerized inventory system, but Mr. McFall relies largely on his prodigious mental map of the tens of thousands of books in the section to keep track of the waxing and waning of various titles.
A pristine copy of Gore Vidal’s Washington, D.C. had come in; so had a slightly rare copy of James Baldwin’s Just Above My Head; George Saunders’s new Tenth of December had sold out.
“It seems like a feat, but if it were your house, you’d know where things are, too,” Mr. McFall said while pulling books off shelves, almost without looking at their titles…

From the work Residual Landscape by Edward Burtynsky
Nature transformed through industry is a predominant theme in Edward Burtynsky’s work. As he describes it: “These images are meant as metaphors to the dilemma of our modern existence; they search for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. We are drawn by desire - a chance at good living, yet we are consciously or unconsciously aware that the world is suffering for our success. Our dependence on nature to provide the materials for our consumption and our concern for the health of our planet sets us into an uneasy contradiction. For me, these images function as reflecting pools of our times.”
Cie Willi Dorner - Bodies in Urban Spaces, 2007
Cie Willi Dorner created ‘bodies in urban spaces’, a temporary art installation in different architectural spaces. With this project, Dorner aims to point out urban structures and functions as well as show, how limited we are in our movement abilities and habits. He places body sculptures in the tiniest spaces, squeezes them in gaps, between house walls and street signs and just everywhere he finds an open space. The installation initiates a thinking process and creates irritation. The artist wants to make people rethink their urban surrounding and their personal movement habits.
