UPDATE: The issue, although not out yet, has surfaced on the internet with full page scans, albeit in japanese of course. Whilst no live action movie scoop, the news is still very big and concerns a “rebuilding” of Evangelion in the form of 4 new movies, the first due out next Summer (in Japan). A large amount of new material is expected in this project entitled “Evangelion Shin Gekijou Ban”. Check out our forum thread for all the details: Newtype Scans Discussion

Just a quick note to say that the next Newtype issue will contain a big scoop concerning Evangelion (or so is advertised in Japan’s September issue), whether this pertains to the live action movie is unsure. However given that a big announcement is due it is quite possible we may hear some substantial and important news concerning the movie within the next month. Let’s cross our fingers.

Some speculation as to what else it could be includes a possible new Hideaki Anno project as rumored at ANN.

For further rumors and discussion concerning the “scoop” Eva Monkey makes some good points with particular reference to the possibility of new Evangelion anime.
