Im sure this will be popping up and around the place in the future, claiming to be real. So right here and now – this is a fake, it’s also a very nice fake. The best fake so far. So good in fact it gets pride on this page.

“Anyway, as part of my grand debut (or immediate flaming, whichever you prefer), I’d like to share some fan artwork that I’ve just finished. Just my small part of what I’m sure we all hope the movie will be…that is, really really good. I figure we should be seeing some kind of promotional artwork soon if the project really gets going, but just because I can’t wait that long, I went and beat the studio to it.
The whole thing was made in Photoshop. The EVA-01 head was made with the help of WETA’s drawings. Since there’s no cast and no director – and surprisingly not even a credited writer(s) – I’ve made no attempt to include them in this teaser…except for Jennifer Connelly as the modest Misato on the right.
This is actually the second Eva movie poster I’ve made, but I wouldn’t recommend looking at my first try; I finished it long before the real project was announced, and let’s just say that looking back, I’m a bit ashamed of my casting choices.”
IMDB has put up a page for the as of yet “Untitled Evangelion Project” with a proposed release date of 2005 (now 2006). The page currently contains very few details, stating merely that the film is in pre-production, and the genre is an “Action/Fantasy/Sci-fi”.
Keep your eyes on this page.

Arkiel has again provided us with some jewels to feast our eyes upon. This time it’s FIFTY high resolution images of the Director’s Cut DVD concept images, in all their detail and glory. These images are MUCH better than the previous ones and allow us to more thoroughly pick them with our rumor creating needles.
One of the major things to come from this update is the large image of REI’s torso, on it we can see her lower arm and the text written on it which states, “NERV – Rei Ayanami”. Suggesting, that for the time being, her name is and still is REI.

Yes, Genesis Reborn contains some all new concept art from Weta Workshop for you to admire and thrust your ruthless rumor provoking opinions on. These new pictures provide new looks and details concerning Eva Unit 01, showing us a possible biomechanical look for the beast and also giving us a supreme close up of a previous profile image. There is also an image of the Eva Unit 00 cockpit – Throne of the Soul, with and without Rei Ayanami. The image suggests the controls for the pilots will be very similar to those within the anime.

Look what Uncle KamaKase has for you! This is written by Tiffany Grant:
ARTICLE SNIPPET:
As for the “slug” names used in the preliminary script (NOT the final version!!!) which appear on the production drawings, they are only used so as not to refer to them as “Pilot A” and “Captain B” etc. As has been widely discussed, the cast will be international, and mostly of European descent. Meaning, for example, if Daniel Radcliffe (Anime Insider’s suggestion – NOT mine!) were to play the lead male role, it would be pretty stupid to call an ENGLISH boy “Shinji.”
The show is in VERY early stages of pre-production, so nothing is final yet. ADV was just trying to share a little Eva goodness with everyone by showing off some of the thousands of production drawings that have been produced. I think they are fabulous, personally, and I eagerly await each new development in the project.

But if you ask me, leaving it on “I believe you can all rest easy knowing that the films will be everything and more that we ever thought they could be.” Isn’t very reassuring. But I suppose they had to try and coax us some how:
I noticed there have been a number of posts regarding the movie, and
this is a little essay I have written for your perusal. I hope it
clears some things up. – TG
First off, there are 26 TV episodes and two movies in the Eva
library. The first goal is to produce a movie that encapsulates the
most important elements of the early part of the series so that the
viewer will not have to have seen the aforementioned 15 or so hours
of video – AND – leave room for one or two (maybe more?) follow up
films that can finish off the story.
The movie is being produced jointly by Gainax (of course), ADV and
WETA. If you are somehow NOT familiar with the WETA Workshop, this
is the incredible studio founded by Peter Jackson in New Zealand that
created the Lord of the Rings films. By watching the fantastic
documentaries on the LOTR DVDs, you can get an excellent idea of the
kind of attention to detail that is being given to everything.
Also, if you have read the LOTR, I think you will see that the
characters in that iconic tome have been very faithfully brought to
life and not, as you put it, “screwed up.” In fact, in a film
adaptation of the second most read book in the English language (the
Bible is the first), it is pretty well unanimously agreed that WETA
got it exactly right. Bearing that in mind, I have every reason to
have confidence that the same folks who hand glued every hair on each
hobbit foot, will do a spectacular job with our NGE heroes.
Keep in mind that WETA will not be doing this in a vacuum either, as
they will be supervised by people at both Gainax and ADV (such as my
husband, of course).
