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.

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. ^_~

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. ;_;

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

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.

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

To play devil's advocate for a moment,gainex is still involved in this.And you know that company isn't one to throw away artist intergrity for money.and it's still rather earlier to make judgement.
I did read one interview that said they'll use 14 and 15 year olds for the role of shinji and the other kids.So I guess that's some type of good news.

Who cares about the actors? They haven't even discussed casting issues yet. I just want to see the special effects by WetaWorks.

For the uninformed, WetaWorks did ALL the special effects for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Their next film project has giant robots invading NY in a world of tomorrow. The film stars Jude Law, Angelina Jolie, and Gwneth Paltrow. The trailer is up and it looks freaking SWEET. If this is what they can do, I can't wait to see how they will accomplish the EVA battles.

Heheh, heheh, I know I like Angelina Jolie's "special effects". I'm sure Billy Bob did for a few hours, too, before stuff went south faster than a bullet train to Tijuana. Heheh, heheh.

I was already convinced the special effects would be no problem when I heard weta was part of this.

QuoteHeheh, heheh, I know I like Angelina Jolie's "special effects".
Now if only they could use the special effects to make her lips appear smoothed out.^,,,,^
