Howl's Moving Castle (film)

Howl's Moving Castle is an American-British fantasy film based on the book of the same name by Diana Wynne Jones. The film was written by Nicole Perlman and Kelly Marcel and directed by Kenneth Branagh. The film follows a young woman named Sophie who is cursed into an elderly woman and must break the curse with the help of a rambunctious wizard. The film was produced by Walt Disney Studios for Disney+.

This is the second film adaptation of the book with the first one being a 2005 anime adaptation from Studio Ghibli. Unlike that version which took numerous liberties, this version intends to stick closer to the source material.
