Evangelion 3.0+1.0 not yet in production?

[Guy Nacks]

Even 6 years from Q is still a pretty unnecessarily long stretch of time between sequels of any franchise. I can't think of a film series that had a clear-cut sequel laid out (as in, it's confirmed there will be a sequel as soon as the previous film ends) that had such a long period as that between releases.

This is really getting absurd, but honestly I'm not surprised.

But whatever, there's better stuff coming out anyway.

Hey, Ray, look at it this way: NOW, Final has a chance to be as long as needed to address all those issues about time constraints you were talking about. :)

^ Turns out FINAL is going to go the harry potter route, 3.0+1.0 is actually the name for part one XD

What xanderkh that 20 page long thread on time contraints and run time that we have for final? Nooo Khara wouldn't do that.(Sarcastic voice).


If final is longer than 2.0 I will be set.

@Guy Nacks- Well that's the way it might be, hopefully it will be this or next year and not 2018, that would be stretching it I agree. Others have told me that expecting it soon would be absurb so I am on neutral ground.

Edit- Evangelion 3.0+1.0 will become the half-life 3 of anime!!!

Guys welcome to being a metroid/starfox (before the new one was announced)/f-zero fan, at least we have a semi-release date within the next 3 years.
I have waited longer for lesser things i can wait for this.

Also wasn't their some interview a while back saying that the story was done on 3.0+1.0 and they where waiting to start producing the film?

Yep, from 2013: http://forum.evageeks.org/post/677939/Hideaki-Anno-x-Kazuo-Koike-October-22-2013/#677939

2013? And they didn't even enter production before now?

Damn. I'm guessing i was right about the whole pre-production thing. So my guess is the film is all ready to just enter production full steam ahead and they're just recharging their brainbatteries/using the Expo as a chance to train their skill for the task ahead.

Well this means that all they really need to do is start animation. Create the full script if the script and story are separate.... Are they? I know my fair share of production info but not that much. Get the voice actors, voice their lines. Compose the music. Put it all together and release it to the consumers. Did I miss a step?

So once that is started, after the expo then soon enough or rather far enough we will have or ending.


Then peaceful times comes on after the credits... It never ends!

Fixed my post because ninja'ed.

At the start of 2014, Ogata on Twitter wrote how voicework for FINAL was supposed to happen that year. I don't believe she ever wrote about that since, so I'm guessing it hadn't yet.

[airman4]

I'm hoping that meant six years from Q. And if "up to" is not strictly held to, a date in late 2016 or sometime in 2017 is still possible.

Also the comment could have been mistranslated in french and the animator could have made a wrong statement

Let's wait some time

If by march we got nothing , then it's over

Final by 2017 , blu uru by 2040

The movie happens when it happens.

[Jäeger]

What?


That's beyond ridiculous. That makes fucking 2001's three and a half year production time look speedy. There is no reason why it needs to take that long. I understand that production of a film takes time, but six years, or even four, for a two hour (probably) animated film is just superfluous. If Anno can pump out EOE in a little over one year, why does 4.0 need to take four, five, or even six times that, unless Anno finally realized that he wrote himself into a corner and just wants to put off making the finale because he knows he can't make it good and that the whole Rebuild effort wasn't worth it except for the money it made?

I agree, there a are no time no budget excuses, they are an study that sin ce 2006 only have released three Eva movies, just that, no series, no OVAS, NOTHING else. And they need so much time to release an animated film?? The pulled out EOE just in one year!!!!! Even three is too much. And sorry, but no "Anno is a genius" excuses. Even for a genius three years for a planned sequel(from a decade ago) is too much. Jesuschrist, is the time Coppola spent filming Apocalypse Now!!!!

Do you know anything about film production?

[Gendo'sPapa]

Some of you fuckers are so entitled.

The world will go on if it takes 20 years for Final to get made. Hell, they could decide to not make the film & the world will continue to roll along.

Grow up & stop bitching about a movie production that you have very little actual insight into. Who knows why it's taken them this long to make the Eva films but sometimes that's the roll of the dice. It happens. Big deal.

Go outside. Play with a dog. Read a book. Do some yoga. Find somebody you like & get naked with them. The movie will get released when it's good & ready.

[Giji Shinka]

Kinda disappointed that they haven't started the production of 3.0+1.0 yet, but whatever, I'd wait +10 year for this film.

[FluffyBunny]

I'm disappointed too. Then again I understand they don't owe me anything.

I just look forward to that some day when I come to this forum and find posts saying "yay it is happening".. )

[Blue Monday]

I for one am kind of glad it's taking its time. The Q experience was taxing, I'm still recuperating my Evangelion-fu I think. Not from the the actual film itself really, just all the hype, hassle and obligatory arguing with randoms over the internet over the most insignificant BS afterwards.

Yes, I'm half serious.

Gendo'sPapa: I get what you're trying to say, but no hostility's needed.
