I have seen these before, but considered it fake before a reliable site took an article.
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=0...tid=188&tid=97 Though the movie is still nowhere near completion, I have quite some doubts about how good it'll be. Changing names to Asuka to Kate Rose and Rei to Ray doesn't sound promising at all. I'd much rather have no EVA movie at all, than one which is significantly affected by the masses. This movie can only work fan-driven! |

Live Action -I think they're planning to make a "real" film out of it, as in real actors.
I have to agree with you uss. Kate Rose?? Come on! Keep the original names if you're gonna make a film of it...plus the characters look nothing like they do in the series, which sucks. But I guess we'll have to wait and see before they reveal how much they've butchered the concept. I kind of think its an insult to Anno...I mean, he created the entire story, and making a film out of it and change key aspects which make it important...I dunno, I think I'll probably avoid it when it comes out. They'll probably have a "happy" ending too, if it's changed due to popular demand. I don't think they're gonna make a huge film if it follows the same lines as the series did... |

Japanese anime cant just be translated to fit the western standards. If it did, it wouldnt be anime in the first place. I wonder why Anno gave out the right to make this movie.

I agree that the best of Anime can't be converted to a real-life movie. In anime, practically every character is in perfect bodily shape(especially women), and very attractive, as anything disgusting in a person(zits, pores(sp?), certain hair, etc.) is simply removed.
Also, most characters in almost all Anime have very specific views of the world, and anything happening around them - I'm almost sure that these actors can't express them like the fans want them to, although the voice actors in NGE(Japanese) were PERFECT, like the screen going black and Shinji's voice actor screaming his lungs out after noticing a certain thing, THAT was perfect! I predict that like Akane in the dubbed version of Ranma 1/2, this will wreck Asuka's character, portraying her as a simple spoiled brat. It isn't possible to make a good less than 180 minute long NGE movie, since it has to leave most of the content out due to the limited time. |

I agree that the Japanese voice actors/tresses were incredible...one reason why I despise the dubbed version - because it simply cannot porttray the same emotions, it can't bring across the same effect. I mean I didn't know Shinji had a female voice actress (in the original), she fooled me completely. I couldn't stand Asuka's dubbed voice, it just didn't fit...
And yes, to make it halfway decent they'd have to make more than one film...though I'm curious how the Eva's are gonna look in the film...and does anyone know whether Shinji has the same name? |

*Sob* Rei has black hair.
But the Eva concept art looks great.
