More details on new Evangelion project
REI!!!
Either no one has bothered to blog about it or I didn’t look hard enough. So anyway, the latest issue of Newtype has a whole bunch of juicy titbits on the new Evangelion movies starting next year.
Click on to find out…
If you haven’t heard about the new Evangelion project before this, basically it’s a total of four new movies, with the first movie coming out next year.
I’ll just listen them out in the order they are mentioned in the magazine.
It’s going to be crazy. Crazy like the Eva that we love and hate. Apparently, Mr. Anno is working full steam. He’s happy that he can finally recreate Eva “as he wanted it to be”, because he’s no longer limited by the technology of 12 years ago, ergo lots of 3D CG this time. In fact, it’s so crazy that you will need to watch the first movie at least 3 times to “get” it. (Or so they say.)
The planning for the first movie has already been completed and it has entered the drawing phase and Mr. Hideaki Anno is working on the script for the second movie. The staff remains more or less the same as the TV series.
The first movie will revolve around the events covered in episode 6 of the TV series, basically Operation Yashima where Eva-01 takes down the angel with a positron rifle. That episode did not turn out the way Mr. Anno wanted it to, due to last-decade technical limitations, and he wants to make it right this time. Operation Yashima will be the climax of the first movie. Mr. Shinji Higuchi, the director of Sinking of Japan, will be in-charge of the Yashima portions of the movie.
NEW characters will be appearing in the second movie. (Please let it be Mana Kirishima!!!)
Although the uniform designs will remain unchanged, the NERV and SEELE logos will be changed. The NERV logo will be based on a bitten apple, while the new SEELE logo will be an apple with a serpent coiled around it. The new logos are references to the original sin as told by the Bible. Apparently, this reference may be paralleled by the movies’ story at some point.
It sounds to me that the first movie will be at least a partial remake and the second movie will branch off to a new story with new characters. I guess you can call it a parallel Eva universe?
As a fanboy, I can’t wait to see Eva with modern graphics. :3
P.S. Mana is the hawtest Eva girl. She deserves screen time!!!
MANA!!!

I think one of the funniest things about these arguments is that, by default, everyone who enjoyed Eva is biased in some way. People who argue that a remake will destroy the original Eva are making a laughable argument. Unless all of the available NGE tapes, DvDs, and digital downloads are somehow magically erased come the release of these films, there will be no change to the original series.
If you don’t care for the new films, simply don’t watch them.
And on that note, if you expect these films to be the same as the original series, then you’re wasting your time and breath. Of course they’re going to be different to some extent- otherwise what would be the point of remaking them? Again, refer to my first paragraph- if you want to see the original Eva series in all its glory, go watch the original series.
Now, if you’re arguing that these might be BETTER then the original series, that’s a ridiculous argument to make as well. They will simply be DIFFERENT- there is no universal judge which mandates that one series is better than another. It whittles down to personal preference and subjective enjoyment. Leave the arguing to politicians and keep an open mind.

I think ur absolutly right Matt, but to say dont watch the new movies is kinda hard even for the ones who r saying “dont make the new movies” i mean every Eva loving fan is goin to watch it. I personally have nothing against the new movies i think they are goin to be fun.
I just hope its not to diffrent. >·

This Is For SoulRuuku.
Unfortunatly there will not be a live action movie. The clips that you may or may not of seen are only the results of some talented people making spoofs using Clips from different films and games.
Sorry to crush any hopes for the film that will NOT come about.
