Longtime lurker, first time poster.

Did anyone else notice that the Santa Barbara Film Festival is having the US premiere of EVANGELION 1.0: YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE???? Shocked

Anyone going to see this? I dont' think they've listed the day it is playing yet.

If you go to their website, www.sbiff.org, it is listed in their press release.

Well all I know is that something related to Evangelion was licensed by Funimation, that may be why.

Renewal of Evangelion was licensed.

Also, if something is being shown in a festival, it doesn't nessecerally indicate an intention for home video or a NA license in general- it could very well be the licensors/production studio's simply wanting to expose their works in different areas, for relativley cheap (there are already subtitled film prints of 1.0.1 I think and they've been making the rounds across the world).

Yeah it's been showing at conventions and stuff. They probably licensed it straight from the japanese company not funimation though.

I wish they would give it a national release when the dub is finished, but it's unlikely. Was watching the trailers for 1.0 last night. November's so far away... =/

I also just noticed they had the premiere of the 20th CENTURY BOYS movie. Part 1 anyways.

That's pretty cool and all but aside from the animation upgrade 1.0 is not all that spectacular of a film. If you haven't seen it I wouldn't really get your hopes up too high. It's just a rehash of the events of the begining of the series compressed into a movie. Just same old same old. The second though is where they begin to change things I hear though.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. I think the later volumes of the renewal will make this worth it.
