If you're thinking "left over April Fools' joke," you're not the only one, but credible global movie news site Twitch is reporting rumors that Ju-On and The Grudge director Takashi Shimizu is on board for a live-action adaptation of Kiki's Delivery Service.

Twitch says its an adaptation of the beloved Hayao Miyazaki anime movie, but in theory, if such a project exists, it could be an adaptation of Eiko Kadono’s original book.

This is far from the first mention of a live-action Kiki. In 2005, Variety broke the story that Jeff Stockwell was writing a live-action adaptation for Disney.
