    Evangelion by WETA

    Does a live-action featured film count in general anime? Well anywho, I stumbled accross this when I was looking on the WETA site for stuff on the Halo movie. Neon Genisis Evangelion. Despite being on hold, the disigns look awesome, and looks to be promising. What do you guys think?

    Thats pretty cool, although picture 6 doesn't show and you have to maual change the address bar to get to the next pic

    but it's good stuff indeed, although the designs for the two woman evas pilots (I can't remember the spelling of their names Rei and Asuka?) look older, but i'm thinking thats to fit a american movie goer
    image fail!

    Now if they'd actually adapt other anime to live-action we'd be trucking! (think of the exposure it would get in America and elsewhere, were so many live-action TV shows are really pieces of crap!)

    Need to need to need to do a live action series of Cowboy Bebop. Holy fucking shit there would be nothing better!

    I can't imagine Naruto, any of the Gundams or even Bleach would work well in live-action. Would be filled with more special effects than real characters and shots...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    Although not much about the movie is known (partially because not much work has been done AT ALL - seriously those production sketches are a few years old), the movie will in fact be an international project of sorts. ADV is cooperation with Gainax on the film, and they want to keep it as true to the original as possible. They're thinking about an international cast too.

    but it's good stuff indeed, although the designs for the two woman evas pilots (I can't remember the spelling of their names Rei and Asuka?) look older, but i'm thinking thats to fit a american movie goer
    The sketches are not final. In fact, in an interview, WETA stated that the drawings were only to get an idea of what the plug suits would look like. They just BS'd the rest - hence the weird-ass names featured on the designs.

    Really, everything about this movie is still just a concept, as they have been looking for a director for about 1.5 years now, and haven't produced anything.

    Hopefully America don't decides to act all shit-like and put rei as ray and leave her as black hair. Making Linsey Lohan as Asukua, making Misato as ugly as she is in that sketch right now, and Making Shinji as HARRY POTTER &lt;----EWWW WTF IS THAT

    I should have known by your other post that you'd find some excuse bitch about America despite what I just said.

    In any case, I hope ADV/Gainax get their asses in gear and make this damn thing so that my future grandchildren might be able to see it.

    Well personally I'd rather see a cast more true to the original, but they are reaching an international audience, so I would expect to see a non 100% Japanese cast - which I'm fine with. Really. It wouldn't be that bad.

    Especially Asuka. I hope they use a qt, red-haired German girl for her.

    Oh, and if anyone didn't know, there are loose plans to somehow fit the voice actors into cameo roles in the movie. That should be fun XD.

    I fail to understand what you are asking.

    The movie is live-action. Of course they're not using the voice actors to play the roles of the characters. I was just saying that there are plans to have both the English and Japanese voice actors appear as cameo roles (for example, Tiffany Grant would play a store clerk).

    Or did you mean something else?

    those concepts look pretty cool. I like that pic of Eva00 (22) looking out between the buildings. It seems like theye are trying to make this a good show. I will be good if they have a gfood story, which i guess they do, so they just cant mess it up.

    but ofcourse when you adapt a series into a movie, you cant help be make some mistakes

    Ok your negative attitude so far is bugging me, not that I'm flaming I just wanted to say that it is. Thanks XanBcoo for clearing up two things, that really nails down a lot. And secondly, WETA is New Zealand, if you look on a map that's pretty far from America. Besides it's probably going to be done by an international company so that should be interesting. I hope they use teens for the pilots, something between ages 15-18, that should do. Young enough for everyone to be happy with, and old enough to attract attention.

    Except they're all supposed to be 13/14 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

    I'd prefer older pilots, however.

    I wonder who they'll pick to be the director...Something tells me it wont be Anno-sama [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

    Sorry, I don't speak moron. I'll just quote what I said earlier and hope you get it this time:

    The sketches are not final. In fact, in an interview, WETA stated that the drawings were only to get an idea of what the plug suits would look like. They just BS'd the rest - hence the weird-ass names featured on the designs.
