Studio Ghibli's latest film, When Marnie Was There, has an official US trailer, and it's exactly what you'd expect from a Studio Ghibli film. The trailer isn't very different from the Japanese trailer, but with added dialogue where there wasn't.
When Marnie Was there is based on a children's book by Joan G. Robinson, it's a coming of age story focusing on a lonely girl with no friends. The story follows her growth as person, along with the mystery of who/what Marnie is.
Here's a full summary of the story:
Anna lives with foster parents, a misfit with no friends, always on the outside of things. Then she is sent to Norfolk to stay with old Mr and Mrs Pegg, where she runs wild on the sand dunes and around the water. There is a house, the Marsh House, which she feels she recognises – and she soon meets a strange little girl called Marnie, who becomes Anna's first ever friend. Then one day, Marnie vanishes. A new family, the Lindsays, move into the Marsh House. Having learnt so much from Marnie about friendship, Anna makes firm friends with the Lindsays – and learns some strange truths about Marnie, who was not all she seemed…
And yes, the man's voice that sounds oddly familiar is familiar. It's John C Reilly.
