Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
Hollywood Evangelion would probably not be good under just about any circumstances, but if I had to give it to any one director, it would either be Cameron or Del Toro, with Legendary and ILM on the technical side.
I can see why Gendo hired Misato to do the actual commanding. He tried it once and did an appalling job. ~ AWinters

The movies function on their own terms. If people can't accept them on those terms, and keep expecting them to be NGE, then they probably should have realized a while ago that they weren't going to have a good time. ~ Words of wisdom courtesy of Reichu

I’m not sure if Anno would want Hollywood to be touching his EVA works.

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
He definitely would not, and for good reason.
For every Pacific Rim that understands the kinds of things Eva is saying, there's ten Pacific Rim Uprisings that instead rather plays trololo music over the climactic launch. Hollywood Eva could be good if all the stars aligned and execs were unanimously banned from the writers' board, but tough luck of that ever happening, so I'd much rather not see that one happen at all.

I rather have Alita 2.
I think a better question to ask is if anyone's done a live action version of an anime that actually works.

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a sequel yet, since the film turned out good. And I haven’t even seen the original one yet.

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
Alita was very good. I missed the opportunity to see it in theaters a second time, but I had solid plans of doing so; that's the only movie that has ever done that for me (although mostly by virtue of me not actually going to theaters a lot, there's a couple others that would have had a similar response)

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
To answer the question, and given just how adaptations are mostly misses than hits, and are usually unpopular with purists... no, it's unlikely.

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
But that's the question, isn't it? Could Cameron break that pattern of mediocrity (besides the fact that listening to purists is in general rarely a good idea)

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
Some fans are chasing this pipe dream of a live-action adaptation for two decades, and I personally prefer to leave it as it is. If I know my understanding about film production, and things like the 1984 adaptation of Dune, no sane producer is willing to dunk in millions of dollars for a high-risk intellectual property and still unknown outside of Japan, and that most will never understand easily.

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
I cannot help but feel you are rather majorly missing the point of the question.
It's not about if it will happen (no), but if a hypothetical could realistically be made to work in the unrealistic scenario that it does happen

Re: Do you think James Cameron could direct a live action NGE
Yeah, it can be done. The question is whether it's going to sell, to recoup all the costs of production.
