Indeed, I am one of the avid fan of NGE. I am also looking forward on the release date of this live action movie. Its really okay as to who’s going to play the part of the cast but one thing that I am very apt for the actors whose going to partake the movie, please make us feel satisfied. We’ll regret watching this if the movie goes along way different from the anime’ cause I am entirely attached to it.
Lurve NGE so much.
I am totally waiting for the movie to be released. Please make it sooner. 2010…

one thing EVERYONE seems to be forgetting is that as well as creating something for the fans this movie is supposed to create something for the rest of the western world also. I think i’d be fairly accurate in saying that the fans of anime in western culture would be a minority and therefore- for a film of this supposed $100million+ budget to be viable it would need to be accessible to millions of fans worldwide… not just us diehard fans.

I can’t wait for this movie… i hope it happens and i hope it’s done well. but people need to stop worrying about the ethnicity of the characters. If you love the original series SO SO SO much that you cannot live to watch a movie where Asuka is 100% caucasian without a hint of a mothers, grandmothers Japanese heritage then don’t watch it. I personally am looking forward to seeing Eva Units in al their CGI glory… and whoever they cast as Asuka in a tight latex plugsuit

I hate to cast a dark shadow on this but i dont think their will realisticaly be a movie for atleast 5 years there arnt any facts yet about this movie the only strand of hope that we have which is a confirmed fact, is that the makers of neon genesis want to make a movie and who knows with the recent release of blood the last vampire perhaps and transformers perhaps it may start some kind of trend with anime to live action movies we can only X (<=cross lol) our fingers

Ehh your all forgetting one very important aspect…

All the people playing the role of the EVA pilots have to be young.. as in 15 or younger.. As all the pilots in the series are 14 years old.

I couldn’t imagine Shinji with a beard…

Are you kidding me? The cast is likely picked out already, one would think, so auditions aren’t a good chance. Also, the only character I’m very concerned about having a fitting actor would be Kaji, as we was my absolute favorite in the series.

This probably seems like a ridiculous question but does anyone know where/who to contact to audition for the movie?

Hugo Weaving from Matrix/V for vendetta would be great as shinji’s father, probably why they used him for the fan made trailer

Never hire a british person to play in a movie based on a anime!?
Why not, if I may ask?

Since you are talking primarily about Asuka

Asuka is 3/4 Caucasion, and has a rather caucasion appearance. To be frank she would be the EASIEST one to cast without upsetting fans who want the race of the characters to remain as they are.

Basically, I don’t see why a british/european person couldn’t play Asuka, since she is pretty much european herself.

As for Emma watson…I think she would’ve been GREAT actually (She has the looks, and I have no doubt she could play a ‘bitchy’ character). Even Anno saw her as the Ideal choice for Asuka (See, even Anno, the creator of the series, liked the Idea of Emma as Asuka). Though she is 18 now and is wrapped up in the Harry potter films to boot. So she is definately out, regardless of how anyone feels.

Now, as for the other characters…I don’t think they will be as easy to cast as Asuka…Considering the whole great race debate.
