Hi there, estranged moderator Eva Monkey reporting.

This past weekend (Feb. 18-20) I took a trip down to Crystal City to host an Evangelion panel for the Katsucon anime convention. Among other topics we discussed the Live Action Evangelion film.

Please note that the following is an unofficial source and should for now be treated as nothing more than rumor.

One of the attendees claimed to have an associate currently interning in WETA's prop shop (for lack of a better term). He claimed that WETA artists have produced more than just the conceptual artwork we've seen thus far, including some preliminary 3D models and so forth.

Also of interest is that the word around the studio is that Peter Jackson is indeed interested in directing this project, however due to contractual agreements with Universal (?), he is currently tied into working on King Kong, and is unable to head up Live Action Evangelion, and may well be in line or have vouched for Live Action Eva once King Kong's production closes.

Once again, this is pure unsubstaniated rumor, and should be taken with a grain of salt. The possibility for Peter Jackson's direction may exist, according to what I was told. However, this is not a credible source and needs further verification.

Due to the lack of news of late, I felt it neccessary, if for no other reason than to give you something to think about.

Yay! I already knew this, but I just wanted to say I have high hopes with WETA developing the EVAs! ;D

if it's true this could be a hit or a miss, all depends on the actors and how they'll look compared to the Anime charachters

Does somebody know how much costs the DVD collection of evangelion and how much episodes are there?

Is there a bookcollection of evangelion?

There are 26 episodes, and at least one movie.
Dunno the price though, but watch out for cheap bootlegs!

[cyclonex]

there are 2 movies, one is mostly a recap of all 26 episodes (=Death & Rebirth), the other movie (End of Evangelion) is an alternative ending that replaces episodes 25 & 26 (containing the white EVA production models, which need no pilot)

and if you want more EVA story, then there is the manga, which is almost like the series, but contains less angels and with sometimes different plots. The manga isnt finished yet.

about that live action movie...
they are talking about it for a few years now, so i dont think it will ever be made.
but it would be cool dough

[djeten]

It would be a little like transformers i gues, but i don't think they could make the angels THAT 'alive' like in the anime, idk actually cuz the special effects '2007' are pretty high though...
