Saw “Southland Tales” recently. Also mind trippy philosophical like Evangelion. So was “Donnie Darko”. Hmmmm Richard Kelly (Director and writer of those movies) would be good too. Bet you $100 he’s seen Evangelion.

If ADV sold their catalog and rights to someone or not, there is still a very good chance the Live Action Eva movie will still happen. I read somewhere once Evangelion has made Gainax about $1 Billion over the last 10 years or so. Seems a reasonable amount to me. That much $$$ means some studio will make this happen. Just cross your fingers they do it right.

@Sparkamus Prime
I too saw District 9, and I too agree that this movie was, in essence, what Evangelion should be in it’s Live Action form – a movie about the people involved in an incident without precedents, and a setup so natural that the plot flows as something amazing and plausible to the audience – even with Aliens, Gods, giant humanoids and the likes lurking above a not-NY-city.

Weta did an AMAZING job on a movie that had (relative) little costs, rapid setup, and, well…

“Jackson and Blomkamp were working on the Halo movie, and when that attempt collapsed, the pair went to work on District 9 instead.” (IMDb)

hmmmm… Weta even sneaked some EVA-eske robots into District 9… I can’t see an Evangelion Live Action wouldn’t work, even if the story ends up somewhat different from the source material.

On a side note, Gainax is remaking it’s Evangelion series into 4 (more like 7/2) amazing animation movies that change key aspects of the original series and, EVEN WITH THOSE CHANGES, the fans are going crazy with the quality of the final product…

Gainax will gather more than enough money by the end of those 4 movies to pull Eva’s Live Action without need for anyone else, so we will probably end up with a movie paid by Gainax, produced by Weta Ltd., and distributed / promoted by some major studio like Universal… *-*~

I just discovered that ADV sold all its assets (including intellectual property) to five different companies earlier this month. I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the Evangelion live-action film project.

i’ve been waiting 6 years for this. evangelion changed my life forever. Can Hollywood keep the magic intact? I am crossing my fingers. This is a story that needs to be told and if done correctly, with an ample budget, would easily rival star wars or transformers in its epicness. I am so tired of googling this (for years now) only to find vague statements from executives at anime conferences.

but you know what? i wouldn’t want to see that “documentary style” shooting in an EVA movie. hand-held cameras and fast, blurred action – i’ve had enough of that. i’d want shots like in the anime: long shots where you can see everything, and appreciate how cool everything is.

i think we need to start a petition to make sure they keep it japanese and not make it all westernised.

Just saw District 9 and given the director (Neill Blomkamp) is great friends and worked with Peter Jackson I would bet he’s one of the directors who came to ADV interested in this. Peter Jackson probably was too.

District 9 very much has a look/cinematography that I think a Live action Eva movie would aim for. The alien spaceship hovering over Johenesburg looked completely real. Great movie and great job WETA.

My only hope is that the spirit isn’t lost, ending up in a big build up to nothing… like Southland Tales…
