Oh gosh. Have you guys seen this yet?! Even though I have not seen the anime, but look at the production sketches!

I like Rei's butt and I cannot lie
You Eva fans can't deny...

...ah, forget it...

Seriously...the high-rises sticking out of the water in the flooded city eerily resemble the modern high-rise apartments in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. But then Vancouver has established itself as a "Hollywood North" in many aspects of film production; while also being known as a thriving city housing many business specializing in North American anime localization.

i could imagine Evangelion in CG, but live action is just wrong. ._.

It looks cool so far though. If they pull it off well, it has great potential.

I just had the scariest vision...Hillary Duff as Soryu Asuka Langley. >_<

Of course I have a buddy of mine who's a big fanboy of Hillary Duff, and seeing her in the plugsuit would...ooh, another scary vision. >_<

Yes, Tama...sometimes I even scare myself. ^_~

Nephilim · January 17, 2004, 08:43:02 AM

i hope to god they don't change Asuka's name to "Kate Rose." >.<

anyhow, whoever plays Rei Ayanami just doesn't know how much they will be the target of either over-the-top stalker love or extreme fanboy hatred.^^;

but, can you imagine the casting? i can't imagine who they will get... people with pores and stuff. . . it all seems so wrong. ;_;

heh..read this month's anime insider for the imagined casting call. I've seen the productions and it looks really cool :D I'm for one, supportive of it :D

OMG they better not destroy evangelion. If they do I don't know what I will do you know what im saying.

GokuMew2 · January 17, 2004, 06:25:57 PM

The sketches look cool but I'm a bit worried about "Ray" and "Kate Rose." .@_@;
The EVA looks like they'll be pretty cool, though.

EDIT: Oh yay! That was my 200th post! =.D

I know what you're saying. It's just that the government better not know what you're saying. You know what I'm saying?

swordofthebezerk · January 18, 2004, 03:26:55 PM

You are correct sir!!! Beyonce eh? I wouldn't mind... if she plays the part well. But I think that Shinji should be played by Elija woods LOL just kidding.

KinFreon · January 18, 2004, 04:59:14 PM

I'll save the casting decision for Shinji for another day. ^_~

I hope you guys realize which studio is creating the special effects and whatnot. I couldn't be more happier!

Nephilim · January 19, 2004, 12:58:08 AM

I remembering rushing out to buy newtype magazine back in july when I first heard they had pics for the eva movie.
Reading about the director of eva's enthusiasm toward this project,made me want to see this when it comes out.

*Ebert & roeper theme music plays.*
"On todays Glitchbert & roeper[anybody that wants to be their own version of roeper join in.^^] I chose martin sheen for best supporting actor.In his great role of gendo ikari.It would be a shame for the academy to overlook sheen's absolutely brilliant work as the head a-hole of Nerv." :p

Charming_Dorian · January 20, 2004, 08:27:19 PM

...one popular rumor I hear frequently is Daniel Radcliffe for Shinji *ponders*

As cool as this would be (a live action eva movie)...I dont really want it to happen :-/
