EVA LIVE ACTION; Evangelion into a live action movie?
Around May, ADV Films announced that they have the rights and have already started on a movie based off of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The visual design is being done by Weta Workshop which is a New Zealand based special effects studio. Weta Workshop worked on The Lord of the Rings movies and has won three Academy Awards. ADV says they hope to bring the \"riveting story of a reluctant hero\" to both new and old Neon Genesis Evangelion fans. Gainax, Weta Workshop and ADV Films are currently busy at work on this project.
Hideaki Anno, creator of Evangelion is extremely excited about this project. He has done some live action work before (Love and Pop and Shikijitsu) and says that the Evangelion Live Action movie is a nice break from anime. \"Evangelion was created with a very Japanese sensibility\", said Anno. \"In the live-action version, though, I suggested that the creators let their imaginations roam, unconstrained by the framework of the existing anime. There are some surprising ideas in the new design plans -- things I\'d never even thought of before. I was amazed to encounter such different ways of thinking about the project. I\'m very much looking forward to seeing the re-creation of the title.\"
It is uncertain as to how they plan to summarize the series or if they\'re just doing a movie. More information will be posted as it is released.
