GSL makes an interesting point. I'd love for Evangelion to be what it couldn't be when it was so... weirdly ended, and, well, made with a low budget and 1995 technology. ALSO, the concept images do look quite cool - I'd sure love to watch the movie if it looks like that. It's likely to suck, but I hope it doesn't. And by this, I mean a re-interpretation of the story, like the one GSL proposes, would REALLY rock. If done right, that is. Rejuvenating Eva with a few winks to old-time fans, that would really be great.
This movie will most likely suck if americans produced the movie. Thank god the Dragonball z movie never got made. I think the Japanese should produced the movie.
The movie is going to suck no matter who makes it. There is no way you can tell a story like Eva in two hours. I doubt you could do it in a LoTR style trilogy even. So much of the story is going to be cut for time it won't even resemble the anime.
