Gaiman, on the other hand, seems like a logical choice from the start and his script is still considered by many to be one of the better adaptations of Miyazaki’s work. The director has a very specific style that doesn’t feel like it would necessarily work too well with Miyazaki’s. It’s interesting to consider how different Princess Mononoke could’ve been with Tarantino behind the wheel. Both have been very well-received by both audiences and critics, and the latter was picked up by Starz for season 3. A TV show based on The Sandmanwas also recently ordered by Netflix. Of course, by now Gaiman is much more of a household name, having written the books behind two rather popular shows, Good Omens(co-written with Terry Pratchett) and American Gods. Gaiman certainly seems a better fit, though, since in 1997, he was best known as the writer responsible for the masterpiece from DC's recently defunct Vertigo imprint, The Sandman. Apparently, the director was approached first, but when he turned the job down, Tarantino then recommended Gaiman.Īlthough Tarantino might appear to be a strange choice, at that point in time, he already had quite an impressive resume, having released Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, the latter two of which were put out by Miramax. Gaiman explained that he was removed because Studio Ghibli wanted some Miramax executives taken off the poster and that those same executives viewed his name as the one that was “contractually expendable.” The author also responded to a fan’s inquiry regarding him getting the job because of Tarantino. Many fans of the author know that Gaiman was the one who actually penned the script, though his name did not appear on the film’s poster. Recently, Neil Gaiman confirmed on Twitter that the writing duties for the English version of the film were originally offered to Tarantino.

Famously, the film’s producer sent a katana to Harvey Weinstein, then head of Miramax, with the words “No cuts” etched into the blade. Speaking of Gillian Anderson (yes, this is an English dub, but might I remind you that my character is a humongous two-tailed wolf goddess who can and will bite your damn arm off, oh and by the way I’m Agent Scully, screw you), I read a U.S. Miyazaki has crafted many incredible movies over the course of this long career, but for many fans, Princess Mononoke remains the best.
