I am curious about the status of the live action version of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The last time I heard anything about it, it had been placed on the back burner while they looked for a director. Is this the same status or have the embers been completely snuffed out now?

I don't think there's any information one way or the other...the ADV reps get asked about it at most conventions, and generally they say something like "It's still alive, but there's nothing we can tell you right now."

This link might not be helpful, but it is pretty cool
Check out the image gallery - the conceptual art is fantastic. Other than that, I have no concrete idea why it is on hold. I think it is just an idea whose time hasn't quite come yet. Everyone who is working on it has other commitments and projects. Perhaps when they finish with their current work, they'll then turn their attention to EVA. Many movies flounder for years, for no reason. Anyway, just my thoughts. |

It's on hold for the same reason Watchmen has been on hold all this time. It's a bitter and dreary story which might cost too much for the audience it's trying to attract. Watchmen is as close as we're gonna get to dramatic adaptations, and if it tanks-assuming WB settles its legal problems with FOX, first-then there's no hope for EVA.

And for that reason I'm not looking forward to seeing how Watchmen fares on the big screen. |

I don't think the Live Action project has shown any signs of life in years. We got the production sketches several years ago, and since then the most we've gotten is that ADV is looking for this and that.
It's never going to happen, it's a bigger joke than Duke Nukem Forever at this point. At least that shows signs of life every couple of years. |
