Live Action Evangelion Still Alive

Earlier this week, producer Joseph Chou made an announcement on ANN’s podcast that WETA’s live action adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion is still “very active”. The movie, which has been in limbo since 2003, seems to be creeping closer to being fully realized.

In the interview, Chou went on to say, “there is a lot of paperwork to clear, but once that’s resolved, I think it would be on the fast track, so we’re hoping that it’ll start moving even next year. Right now we’re with a producer and a studio that really understands beyond the whole mecha impact.” Chou added, “They’re really looking beyond that, and really looking at drama, human elements, even to those elements that appeal to otaku.” He also added another reason the movie was pushed back was due to the anime market crash, but it seems that things are looking better, and thus a better environment for this movie to come out.

This could potentially be an awesome movie.

Man! I am somewhat optimistic here but I so hope that this will not become a Gundam G Saviour.

Damn, has it really been 7 years? Time goes by fast.

Live-action Eva is rumored to be one of the money sinks that ended up destroying ADV. How many more production companies can it take out? Let's find out!

Maaaan....

They've had talks about this since 2003. Until now...I've wondered if they decided to scrap the project altogether, since there's been no word of it since that time :laugh:

 

[DigDoug]

Well, I'll be. It feels like just yesterday that I heard this had been scrapped to hell. Ah well, let's see if this thing can manage to become a reality.

Honestly, I thought he was talking about the famous masturbation scene :laugh:

If it has "Evangelion" in the title, then I've pretty much come to expect lots of boobs, anyway.
