LOL They Don't Have the Money

Postby NAveryW » Sun Feb 03, 2008 10:04 pm

ADV is currently downsizing bunches and oodles. There's no way they can get the money to make a live action feature length trilogy.

Unless they are downsizing in order to save money for the live action movie!

Downsizing in order to fund a project that has a very real chance of blowing up in their faces and scuppering a whole lot of secure sources of income? Oh, no.

ADV was only responsible for part of the funding, anyway. If there are other Hollywood types who want to make this happen, I'm sure that whatever remains of ADV will be willing to license it to them.

as one of the anime shows which consistently "ranks in the top 5" of the "greatest anime of all time" straw polls (purely in terms of popularity and influence) , this is seriously one of THE titles to adapt, and quite a few parties are interested in it

I am not concerned at this

I kinda feel relieved knowing that Greenfield will not be able to author any original content Eva related.

If the director picked wants to "stay true to the vision of Eva", at least wants to try to, who would he be more likely to see, do you think?

The Japanese original creator, who he'd have to get a translator for, and may be busy working on other projects, or the man who speaks English, who has oodles of information that's just a phone call away.

I'm semi-convinced that Greenfield will be the head writer if the movie ever gets made.

Though, semi interesting side note, a friend of mine is watching eva for the first time. I lent her volume 2 of Platinum, and she decided to watch it with the commentary afterwards, and she thought "Wow, this man really has no idea what the fuck he's babbling about", just from the tone in his voice, lol.

I meant, I know Greenfield will put his greasy fingers in writing the Laem if he could. Thanks to providence, ADV seems to be getting broke, that's why I felt the relief.
