Hmmm. This sounds interesting... very interesting...
Could be very good, or very, very bad.
I have contacted ADV, GAINAX and the original author of the article
and requested further information and clarification. I will post any
reply as soon as I recieve it.

I see one MAJOR thing missing here - an actual MOVIE studio. Without
the financial backing that one of those can bring anything that Gainax
and ADV can put together will be lower budget than, say, Babylon 5. And
just how much can the Weta Workshop do on that sort of shoestring?
And, besides, do we really need a live action NGE? I can see the
Children now, traipsing around in their new black leather plug suits (a
la the X Men movies) and Shinji muttering lines like "Guns. Lots of
guns."
And, unless some Japanese studio finances it (which will mean Americans
probably won't go to see it), do you really think an American studio is
going to go with a cast that is utterly Japanese? Let's see... Asuka
can be complete German this time, but that silly Japanese name will have
to go, so call her... Valkirie. And Rei... let's ditch that whole
socially and sexually uncomfortable clone thing and give her the skin
tone and street smarts of someone from the 'hood. And speaking of
sex... Shinji, or whatever they call him (Stevie, for example) will
have to have scored with at least one of them by the movie's half way
point. And you can just FORGET about any innuendo with that Kaworu
character... Etc, etc, etc.
It could turn into a worse fiasco than the Thunderbirds movie is shaping
up to be.
Some things are better left ALONE.

Hopefully such things will go the way of the stalled Fantastic Four

Here's the Internet Movie Database entry:
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0167456
Note the director: Jonathan Frakes. Then check out the cast list.
The only cool thing about the casting is Ben Kingsley as The Hood.
> Are the Andersons still alive?
Yes. Sylvia and Lady Penelope even showed up on "Absolutely Fabulous" a
few years back.
> Did they sanction this?
I don't think so. I believe they sold the rights years ago.

LOL. Could be worse... could be SuperCar.

Get the Wachowski Brothers in on it, WB will bend over backwards for them.
It'll be the next Titanic: $US200 million plus budget, huge sets in NZ, and
starring (presuming they go with an international cast:)
Hugo Weaving as Gendo
Natalie Portman as Rei
Hugh Jackman as Kaji
Brittany Murphy as Asuka
Carrie-Anne Moss and Misato
Sigourney Weaver as Ritsuko
and Elijah Wood as Shinji

Yuck... No, we don't need no stinking Star Wars taint. Besides, Rei
should have a soft, tranquil voice, not a mousy squeak. AND she isn't

Characters all reboot as:

Personally, I don't think it'll fair too well. I mean, not all of the
effects that made the battle scenes so cool can be done sans CGI. That
means lots of $$$ involved which ADV probably doesn't have. Of course,
if they make a dub, they'll probably fuck up the translastions
_ANYWAY_, so they better have a subtitled edition available (which
they won't). In the end, it would be better if it didn't get made at
all, considering all the craptastic comic->live action conversions
(Daredevil, anyone).

They did a third and then a fourth season. The third season was released
on 4 DVD's by ADV and is by far the best. For more information, you can
check alt.tv.reboot. The regulars there have excellent websites.
For those of you who don't know me, which is probably all of you since
this is my first post ;), allow me to introduce myself. I lurk around
ATR (alt.tv.reboot) and now here, too (BTW thanks to Pen^3 for the very
helpful FAQ, which was the first thing I read after subscribing to the
newsgroup). I'm a student, work at the local computer repair shop, and
program games in my spare time.
I subscribed to the newsgroup after watching the series, which I think
was excellent until Rei II died. Then the whole thing went downhill. I
think the ending sucked =(

to offer in a script that will appeal to a general audience in america. The
whole 14 year old kid thing will turn off viewers, or if not that, it will make
for a poor film in my opinion. Can you say you would go see any teen focused
movie. Anime is popular in america but it is still a niche as far as the
studios go. Did Cowboy Bebop Knockin on heavens door play in your city? I live
in Tucson AZ and I didnt see ads for it even where they played sen to chihiro.
anyway, these views do not necessarily reflect the views of the author.

Natalie Portman could do /so/ much more with a decent director (which George
Lucas is not). I think she could pull off a Rei. And I'm just going to

Y'know, I've seen glimpses of Gregory Smith from the WB show 'Everwood,' and
