So yeah gainax has officially become another George Lucas-esque brand. Continuing to milk our monies worth. Oh well, can't wait to see the new movies. . .
Full Version: It's baaaack!
Hey maybe Rei and Asuka will look hotter with a new version of Eva.
I don't mind... I didn't really like the old series all that much but it's been years since I've watched it so I'll give this movie or whatever they throw at us a shot.
Maybe it's going to be one of those really short anime movies where they just bring back all your favorite characters from the anime and create a movie that's pretty much nonsense... Like virtually every series gone movie.

Yeah so basically this is the cover. I try to get some scans of the interview. The creators just basically talk about taking the renewal movies a different direction from the movies. Wonder what that direction is towards though?\

I would have to agree that almost every series gone movie becomes a huge letdown. I mean the original Gundam series, wow it really wasn't what I expected. It was so much worse.
I know I'm double posting, but. . . here's a site that tells some details about the movie. Other than that I'll have the scans up in about two weeks or so (code for my scanner is broken). . . Though I can't guarntee that considering schoolwork is finally catching up to me.

First New 'Evangelion' Movie
Out in Japan in September
February 15, 2007
Animenation is reporting that the first of four new "rebuilding" of Evangelion anime features will open in theaters in Japan on September 1st. The new movies provide several different perspectives on the Neon Genesis Evangelion saga including elements of the "school drama" and other narrative threads that were present in the original TV series but not necessarily emphasized in the same way that they will be in the new films (see "Rebuilding Evangelion").
Given the lasting popularity of the original Evangelion series (and movies), the "rebirth" of this property is a very big event especially in view of the amount of merchandise that the Evangelion property has inspired.

In the October issue of Newtype (Japan) Gainax revealed a four-part series of films entitled Evangelion Shin Gekijou Ban, which will adapt (with new material) the recondite Neon Genesis Evangelion TV anime and make it more comprehensible to ordinary viewers. Hideaki Anno, the genius behind the original Evangelion anime, is writing the first movie and has been named General Supervisor for the entire project. Tsurumaki Kazuya, who directed the first two episodes of the TV series, will helm the four films and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and Ikuto Yamashita will provide the character and mecha designs respectively just as they did for the original Evangelion project.
The first movie in the series is due out in theaters in Japan in the summer of 2007. This "remake" will feature all new animation and will eschew some of the more esoteric techniques used in the original series such as the interspersing and scattering of difficult words and text phrases in the animation. Look for more information on this somewhat risky venture (Gainax is tampering with an acknowledged classic and will have to try to avoid the potential loss of mystique from either dumbing-down the original or just creating a redundant version of a series that has already appeared in a number of versions) as it becomes available.
