As much as they might desecrate the series and everything that made it so good, they're still pretty clever bastards when you think about it. Every single person here will go see it at least once (even if you mate says 'it's SHITE do not go see it at any cost' you're still g...

Not if they still don't have a studio... until then, production art will be all they'll ever have to show out of this idea.

I suppose there's no news on this Eva movie right.. There is SO news! Of course, you have to go to that Danish Fanta site and type out the "news" yourself. That's as close as I suspect you'll get to "news" not involving just more production art about this for a long,...

Umm... no one's been cast yet. This film doesn't even have a studio interested in producing it (WETA being a special effects house), so they don't have a director and they aren't ready to cast. Every cast list you've seen: 100% unadulterated bullplop. Originally posted on...

Ah, Zac Bertschy takes a similar position to my own in the latest Answerman column : ________________________________________ _______ Is it true that they are making an Evangelion live action film? I heard it was being made by Weta. I just heard this somewhere. [b]Well, they aren't so much “maki...

look this thread is to long and i don't want to read it so can sum 1 just pm me and tell me if thers going to be a eva live moive in the us? If you ignore all the smoke-and-mirrors over the past couple of days meant (probably) to increase interest in the prospect of a live-action Evange...

What that is is a couple scenes from the demo reel, or maybe the complete demo reel, which Weta did for them, the primary purpose of which, I believe, is to have something to show the studios when they're pitching their film so that the studio execs so that the studio execs will get some idea as...

Production sketches are just what you come up with at the earliest stages of pre-production. No one's denying that this thing is in pre-production, just the question as to whether or not it will ever actually get into production is far from certain, since no real movie studio is involved. A lot ...

If a studio did sign on board and did greenlight it, it would be closer to two hours and left open-ended. Three hours would be far too big a risk on a franchise that isn't nearly as well-known nor cherished as Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter , since one extra hour means one less showing per sc...

Here is a crazy Idea.... how about this movie NEVER GETS MADE... that would be the best thing to happen... what moron really thinks a Live Action Evangelion movie would be in any way shape or form any thing but a vomit bag of dubbie love. :evil: I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but...

I don't think they'd try to cover everything in the first film; they'd shoot one and leave it open-ended, and, if it flops, then there would be one film without a real ending of any sort, just like Bakshi's Lord of the Rings . I'm not enough of an Eva fan to be able to say where ...

For the sake of answering this question, I'll assume that a major Hollywood studio will, someday soon, back ADV and Gainax financially on this endeavor. (In the real world, I don't know how likely it is that what ADV and Gainax want to do will fly with any of the major studios, but I'...

I stand by my position that, until they announce who's footing the bill and which film studio they've partnered with, it will never get made. What WETA's doing for them is preliminary art and a demo reel or two to show to the investors and studios. It's pointless worrying about it at...

Well, since we've heard zilch (solid, not stupid rumours) about the cast and crew, I'm willing to bet what WETA's working on right now is just a demo reel to show investors. Still, that has got to be the best news page I've ever seen. I used to have a whole bunch of bookmarks...

Any real news, anywhere, about the live-action film? I've heard jack squat since about July, and I've been looking. I mean, I'm not going to declare yet that I (and Sharp-kun ) was correct that this thing will be far too expensive for ADV and Gainax to produce without the backing...

Answer: Nope.

I'm skeptical it's even coming out. What we know is that ADV and Gainax would like to make a live-action Evangelion film, and they've done some production art to get a studio interested. However, what we don't know as of yet is whether or not any one of the "Big 7" studios ...

Besides... if we find out, somehow, which studio is the one expressing interest, all you have to do to stop it is find one of the guys in suits or attend a shareholders' meeting and then say out loud "Wow, a big budget, intellectual sci-fi film based on a foreign production. It might be as ...

I don't need to be confident, actually. ADV and Gainax can't possibly afford to risk $100 million they say is the projected budget between them; they aren't huge media conglomerates. So, you know, if they make some sort of announcement regarding a deal with one of the major studios, that...

I've personally never seen an action movie starring children that wasn't geared toward children. Leon: The Professional , with 12 year old Natalie Portman, though that's an exception. But, I don't think the Evangelion film will ever get past the planning stage, so I'm not worrie...
