I like the more transparent marketing they decided to do for this movie, Khara is always so unique in their marketing!
If they're working on storyboards now, and intend to finish the movie at the same "breakneck pace*" like Evangelion Q a release near the end of 2018 seems feasible. I'd say that 2019 is more realistic, though.

I like how people guess and become disappointed in the "Future Promotions?" thread, while this thread following Khara's various Twitter pages is on fire with juicy information.

I doubt they're doing it to be unique and doing it more so to let people know that the movie still exists.
Please just call me Ian, "TheFrisky" is more of a title.

It is Toho Studios. They uploaded a picture about it earlier this month. They seem very excited about it.

You gotta love Anno's fascination with cables, wires and the physical connectivity between machinery. He makes it look so good.

And Anno himself is looking fit and happy. I have a strong feeling Eva Final is going to be really special!

Indeed. I was really happy to hear that Anno seems to have gotten over his post-Q funk.

Anno's engrossing himself in the most serious work, I see. :tongue:
Someday I hope that we'll be reunited if that is what's destined to be. Perhaps we'll discover that elusive bible. And then we will finally be free!

I gotta say, these are the kind of progress updates I was looking for. :D

Also, the whole thing with the motion capture tech makes me suspect that the fight against the MP-EVAs in Final is gonna look something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8GGwgI2vGU

Using mighty Google Translate and some interpretation:

Shin Eva "box (partial screenplay format) 1st draft" [I presume it's the screenplay's first draft] 2016/12/27~ 2017/01/06 2017/01/10


Unless there's something totally wrong in the translation we now know that they started working on the plot around April 2016, they brainstormed for eight months and they completed their first draft of screenplay at the beginning of this year.

Interesting, wonder if there were any plans for the plot before 2016, or if Anno et al only truly started thinking about how they wanted 3.0+1.0 to go around then. Would have to think the last 5 years for Anno have influenced the story in some way.

Really liking the fun aspects of the Twitter account, the Toho office looks really nice, wish I could work there lol.
I mean, predictability is the central attraction and the narrative hook that we've all come to expect from the Evangelion franchise. How come Anno can't realize this? Twice? - FreakyFilmFan4ever

I've always held the belief that while Shin Godzilla was in the final stages of post-production Anno was starting work on Final. Glad to see my assumptions were accurate.

I don't know if Anno has had a full outline of what will happen in Final pre-2016 - surely he had ideas, concepts, sketched out scenes, notes & possibly even a loose outline but probably nothing resembling a fully fleshed out script - but I'm positive the main focus of the films - Shinji's emotional journey - has been explicitly laid out since this project began back in 2005.

Anno was on the record in a Q and A that was held WAY back in late 2013 when asked about the fourth film that the script was “provisionally finished” but that he was continuing to tweak it in rewrites.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

Yeah, this was definitely the through line of those movies, I'd be surprised if Shinji wasn't the focus. Also the Shin of Shin Eva is written in Katakana, like Shinji's name. So this movie is not only going to be new and true, but also - or because of being true and new - Shin ji's Eva.

So... Some dude on reedit is claiming that a scene has been leaked on 2ch

Here is said scene. (I don't really believe this BTW)

Translated poorly from the original 2ch post

Ext. [long shot] The red desert, night. The moon is full. In its light, the desert is the color of an old scab. Asuka walks along the crest of a dune, her white and cherry-red elements of her plug suit contrasting with her surroundings.

Ext. [overhead, Asuka looking off into the distance, eyes narrowed]

Ext. [A tall dune rising behind a sea of smaller dunes. A shape breaks from the darkened mass, pushing its silhouette into the night sky.]

Ext. [The night sky. Shinji climbs into the shot. He looks tired, but determined.]

Ext. [Flat on Asuka's face, tightening in frustration.]

Asuka: That idiot. What is he...

Ext. [Overhead and behind Asuka. The back of her head tilts to one side, and then she squats down suddenly, and rolls to one side. The scab desert where she had been standing erupts in a MOLTEN EXPLOSION which flash freezes in a cluster of GLOWING SPIKES.]

Ext. [Asuka from the side, medium shot.]

Asuka (v/o): They finally found us!

Ext. [Long shot, Asuka framed left. A FRAGMENT rushes toward her from out of frame. No intercell animation here. Asuka reaches into her backpack and produces a WILLE BLASTER.]

Ext. [Shinji descending his dune. He pauses as three gunshots sound.]

Ext. [Asuka front. She slides her fingers into the smoking WILLE blaster's guard and dives forward.]

Asuka: You trash!

Ext. [Shinji front. He squints back into the distance, then his eyes flare wide.]

Ext. [Shinji back, his backpack slides off one shoulder, he half turns slowly, then speeds up, bending down and rummaging through the pack, panicked.]

Ext. [In the foreground, out of focus, Asuka and the Fragment struggle. Background, in focus, Shinji is running up with a NERV BLASTER in hand.]

Ext. [Shinji stops, looking on horrified.]

Ext. [Close up of Fragment, its many eyes glow red. Asuka's foot slides into view, finding a toehold in one of the Fragment's eye sockets.]

Ext. [The Fragment's many arms and pseudopods, gleaming sharp. They begin to TWIST and SHIVER.]

Ext. [Asuka's arm and shoulder, a LENGTH OF INTESTINE wrapped around both. The arm tenses, pulling the intestine tighter, thinner.]

Asuka: [panting]

Asuka: Idiot.

Ext. [A shot of Asuka's chest, panning down to a hole in her plug suit, where the intestine is attached.]

Ext. [Panning up from the Fragment's head, side, following the noose of intestine Asuka has used to strangle it. Arrive on Asuka straining against the Fragment's twitching body. SERVICE SERVICE here.]

Ext. [Asuka's face, sweating, she is looking down right.]

Asuka: Shoot it, already!

Ext. [Shinji is staring at horror at the scene.]

Asuka: Shoot it! I can't hold it forever!
