As expected, promotion for The Floating Castle has essentially been reset and a new 32-second teaser trailer has been released, a year and a half after the original TV spot and teaser came out.
For those who haven’t been following the saga, Nobō no Shiro is a historical epic that was originally presented as a Kido Prize-winning film treatment way back in 2003, then adapted to a successful novel and manga adaptation after that. It took forever to develop as an actual movie simply due to the daunting size and scope of the project. It finally got off the ground when blockbuster-friendly directors Isshin Inudo and Shinji Higuchi were attached in 2010.
Unfortunately, a big part of the movie involves the depiction of a large-scale water attack, which is the main reason it was shelved after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
Anyway, “The Floating Castle” is now on schedule for a November 2, 2012 release.
