Wow. Live action Evangelion? Just hope they don't screw it up. Although, if anyone ever saw live-action Crying Freeman, that was good...

Yeah, but Crying Freeman's story was really something you could -do- something with without having the special fx dominating it all. Knowing Hollywood (or Hollywood-inspired) filmmakers, there's a big chance of a screw-up.

Personally, I'm glad Weta Workshops is going to do the sfx. As long as they don't change the eva designs (and the angel designs apart from that.. err 5th one? I dunno; the ugly one )

And well, they're gonna adapt the story anyway, so it'll probably loose all the cult the original had. I thinks that's gonna bother me most :/

Worst-case scenario: Remember what happened to Street Fighter when they tried to do a live-action one with Jean-Claude Van Damme in it? Imagine that with the Evangelion one. Frightening ...

Hey the streetfighter movie was good, if you think about it as a comedic spin off (like they do with comics).
As a serious streetfighter movie that wants to capture the spirit of SF it fails totaly .

And I sense a very high screw up capability for a evangelion real movie (especialy when it is made by hollywood).
I mean they propably change the story to take place in the USA.
Together with the nationality of the team like they do so often, to get more people into the cinema.
Also Im not too sure, if it is even possible to put the whole storie into the size of one movie.

btw. I think crying freeman was partly a frensh movie .

I saw the first part of that but it's been a while ago. I liked the artstyle and the story was interesting (then there are some things that I didn't like but that's just me I suppose <_<;*

I didn't know there was non-anime version of that... Now i'd like to watch it...

I remember it featured a guy who was in one of "The Crow" films (number 3 I think?), and it had one of the funniest bits (well, I found it somewhat amusing) involving nothing more than a bottle of sake and a cigarette lighter. I think GIAM and Bugsy will know which bit I mean ...

hm kinda long ago when I saw it the last time .

oh and the actors name is Marc Dacascos I like him.
The funny thing is that he plays a nice mix of nationality, hawaian (what he is ) chinese, japanese,half japanese half american (crying freeman), american, native american (le pact des loups, awesome movie) brazilian, mexican thats all I have seen sofar but I bet there are more ).

I read some of the crying freeman mangas preety cool. alot more violence and sex then the movie has and very realistic drawings (besides the fact that enemys almost allways appear as 3 meter giants at some point).
