The film is in pre-production. Lots of boring things happen during pre-production. Things that aren't worth reporting or aren't disclosable to the public.

Don't assume it's dead just because we haven't heard anything for a while.


You don't have to work for ADV to know they're not gonna go through with it. You just have to look at the current state of the anime industry in the west.

ADV began the project at a time when anime imports had just started to take off in the western world & business was booming.
They foolishly believed this trend would continue to grow exponentially into the future & that ADV could make enough money to become a major player in the entertaininment industry instead of a two-bit dubbing studio with delusions of grandure.
Unfortunately, the anime industry has hit the wall.
Due to market oversaturation, bad dubbing & other factors, public interest in anime in the mainstream is flagging & the rate of growth for companies like ADV has slowed to a crawl.
There's just no way that they can pay for a feature film now. And I think they're still in debt to WETA studios for the concept art commissions.

It's a simple case of counting one's proverbial chickens before they've hatched.


Are they not gonna work with WETA? [If it's still alive.]
If they do, they would have no debt, but a share of profit.

Or, what're you meaning by 'Evamonkey' for all the character casts.

It is a joke. >.> Ever see the "Evamonkey is a sexy bitch!" Threads? It is fun to treat Evamonkey like he is god. =D

I see.
Pretty funny.
Let's make Evamonkey the director also!
Or, maybe Hideaki.

By the way, errrm... how should I put this? I think you guys probably heard of Andy Serkis right? He is the guy who made Gollum (LOTR) and King Kong's expressions in their respective movies. I wonder if he could pull off a PenPen, he is quite a professional in animal expressions and movements... while at the meantime we have our original PenPen V.A. as the voicing. Sounds good to me. :lol: (probably might have fan girls screaming.)

Exactly one half of the roles should be played by Chuck Norris, another half by Vin Diesel and the third half played by Samuel L Jackson.

"Samuel L Jackon in an Entry Plug with Snakes!"

Also the fourth half of the roles should be played by Mr. T. This is a problem as there is only one black guy in the whole show. The American Member of SEELE. Oh well, we'll just have to make Fuyutsuki, Kensuke, and maybe Hikari black.

I wonder how they'd feel being told that they look like stylized (deformed) cartoon characters...

you all are really pessimistic about this movie..... sheesh....

its not like Hollywood messes EVERYTHING up...(although i just saw a preview for Dead or Alive which certainly wasnt encouraging)

Weta is a great company...good budget (100 mill) ...and theyve got good directors at hand...

besides i also hear that Anno is going to be giving them pointers and such to keep them from doing stupid stuff...

I know the first movie is supposed to go up to the fight with Ramiel

i trust Weta judging from previous work...so its al least going to look cool but that of course doesnt garuntee itll be good... weither or not i actually think this will work depends on the director...which isnt even close to being chosen yet...we dont know enough about this upcoming movie to just dismiss it now

Im not very concerned with the first movie (theyve said it will be a trilogy...) im concerned with the LAST movie

making a live action Giant Nekid Rei....seriously...im not even sure if Weta can pull that scene off

My other concern is that most American masses...wont get it....and theyll bitch and moan like ..."whut was all that weird psychology stuff? i wanna see a fight "

So theres two problems....

P.S. Nicole Kidman does kinda look like ritsuko...but shes probly too old

1 it might be "dumbed down" so Americans can get it....or....

2. It wont make enough money...cuz it gets bad reviews and bad rap from people who dont get it...


But honestly rather than posting all this angst about this....just post who you think would be good actors for the positions



to awnser your question about casting....

(i know nothing of Japanese actors)

Rei: they movie makers have already said shell be a an albino/ Japanese like she is...

Asuka: of course will be western...duh......I cant think of any actors that could do it....much less one thats young enough right now...im sure there are though....

Shinji is up in the air to me.....(i know ill be attacked for this but...) Whenever i look at the character Shinji...i cant honestly picture a Japanese person there....i always picture just a white dude with brown hair....i wouldnt bitch about it (like some people do obviously) either way...his ethincity will determine Gendo's of course

Hugh Jackman for Gendo...if Shinji is western....

Ritsuko: I think Nicole Kidman could work! or Cate Blanchett :) For some reason I'm thinking about that blonde lady off CSI 10 years younger hehe...Marg Helgenberger (thanks imdb!)

Misato: Rachel Weisz?

Gendo: I have no idea..if Ian McKellen was 20 or so years younger I think he'd be able to pull it off! he used to have brown hair you know :)

Fuyutski: Present day Ian McKellen! Trouble is a lot of the younger generation will remember him only as Magneto or Gandalf :P but he rocks so meh!

Maya: Why does Winona Ryder keep popping in my head? she has that waif-y, delicate look that Maya has! and she can pull off short-short hair!

Shigeru: Jason Mewes! he must be in mid-20s by now...and there are a couple of photos on imdb where he doesn't look so Jay-like :)

SpecTech: (I can never remember his name, the techie with the glasses) Hnh, no idea :)

Asuka: Ellen Page (jailbait from Hard Candy)

Rei: Blow up inflatable doll....hahaha jk :) I have no idea

Shinji: Also no idea..anyone but Harry Potter!!

maybe we should post pics of the actors next tot their charaters eh???

alos...if only Christopher Loyd werent like a thousand years old...he could do it

also....putting Robin Williams as gendo would be quite stretch...he could get away with being Keel

but yeah apparently Robin williams is a gigantic Eva fan...(ever notice in One Hour Photo the little action figure is a Harpy?)

and he wants to have some involvement in it...

(ill bet hes Reichu.....yes.......Robin Williams is Reichu....it all makes sense now... 8) )

Although she would be a bit old, I think Gillian Anderson would be perfect for Ritsuko.

Oh, and Jake Gyllenhaal for Kaji. *Shame*
