What ever happened to this? I remember hearing about it a while back, and I even saw some concept art (not sure if it was real). I thought it was a pretty awesome idea. I <3 Eva and a live action movie would be too damn sweet. It probably wouldnt be as "trippy" as the series and therfore not as awesome, but whats not to like about CG Eva combat?! 
Im hopin this didnt pull a "DBZ". Anyone know? |

| I was actually wondering about this as well, yesterday. It seems that, well, lemme just say it hasn't been cancelled. | |||

| The movies up and running, but so far little progress has been made. It his being worked on by Weta Workshop, the company behind the special effects of LoTR. So yeah, you were right Sion. Most likely gonna be kickass CG content. You can find the sketches Sion was talking about on the Weta Workshop page, which I am too lazy to Google up right now. =P
The movie is gonna take place up until at least Ramile, cube w/ drill angel. Probably a bit further, since concept sketches included Asuka's outfit as well. So I don't know if it will be as "trippy" as expected, since it won't just be some bum-rush to cram the entire series into an hour and a half. Just encompassing enough of the series to perk enough interest for sequels. And with a budget boardering on that of LoTR itself (100 millionish), it will most likely do just that. Now, recent quotes from the owner of Weta, Richard Taylor, from eva.trivialbeing.net, yet again in turn from IGN, on the movie: "I've just been to Japan pursuing this, [...] I think that is the great untold story to the world. It is sublime. It is arguably some of the most beautiful and poignant animation ever created, and a huge percentage of the pop culture world now know it, but only through a live-action feature film will it transcend that and receive the recognition for the art piece that it is. Now, actually achieving it as a live-action feature film is extremely difficult to imagine. Technologically, sure, it's doable. But at an esoteric, universe level, it is an unbelievably impacting and dramatic story concept. [It's got] pseudo-religious overtones, and all these wonderful motifs are woven into it. It's something that you can generate over 26 hours of animation, but trying to encapsulate that down into a feature film would be a massive challenge. But … with the right director, I think it could be a very beautiful movie. …And that's my big pursuit at the moment. I've put an awful lot of energy into it." Also, random tifbits for 'yah: *Movie is set for release in 2007-2010. *Daniel Radcliff (dear God no!) was considered for Shinji's role, then shot down. *The exec. producer , Mathew greenfield, is the husband of the woman who did Asuka's voice. *Even more fan mail is coming in for the production of the NGE live action film than that for LoTR. About 25 NGE letters to every one LoTR letter, actually. Click on above link for even more rusty spoonesque orgasmic details. |

| I really have to wonder about the series being put into the feature film format. The general story seems very well geared towards anime/manga, what with what might be described as a glorified "monster of the week" for most of its episodes. One of the issues that arises is that for most shows that can be glossed over, and most of them eliminated, whereas for Eva it seems rather necessary to have all of them, else some of the meaning and numbers rather vanishes. And I don't know how great a movie would seem to the general public that appeared in that format, the one challenge, fix it, move on to the next. This is why something like the End of Evangelion (which, while still trippy, was more satisfying than the original series' end) works better, as it's something of a prolonged struggle.
Basically it seems like you'd have to eliminate more than could be taken out to cause it not to be what seems like an extended compilation of a tv show and turn it into a single story a couple hours long. But I would love to be proven wrong by a great movie. Though I was somewhat disappointed by the rather trippy turn the series took in later episodes; I rather liked the more tangible mech-vs-angel action of the earlier episodes. |
