Some thoughts from me.
I think it's well known that I don't like Evangelion. I'm just not a fan of the story, for certain reasons that I think people can figure out, and I've mention them before (I don't want to mention them again, though I will repeat that I enjoyed it in the beginning). Since I don't like the anime, I shouldn't like this movie. As in, the movie should follow the anime's story. This is a huge problem of course, considering the length of the anime and the length of a movie. This is one reason that, unless this movie is a trilogy or something, I think it won't be good (I know that sounds weird. Remember, I'm not saying Evangelion is bad, I'm just saying I don't like it). It won't be able to get everything in it the anime had in it. This will definately hurt the movie storywise so no one should expect it to be as good as the anime. The fact that the names are possibly going to be changed repulses me and I hope that someone lets them know how stupid that would be so they will rectify their mistake. Also, does anyone know the ages the actors will be? In all honesty, I think the pilots should remain young (at least having 16-18 year olds portraying 14 year old pilots). If the movie stars 20+ somethings as the eva pilots with changed names, and the movie has an extremely shortened story, it will blow.

The production artworks are screen captures from AD Vision's new "Evangelion Director's Cut Vol. 1"

While it's possible the names were added by whoever took the screen captures, I wouldn't doubt they appear somewhere in the DVD as well. (in addition a few of the images actually were in Newtype)
*nods* I still doubt that the reliability of the names, and will till I see an offical listing. So much of this reminds me of the "Fanboy" mentaility we saw before Spiderman and X-men launched, and both turned out to be good movies...
Then again, as I stated before I think the fanboy antics and Otaku stuff is what I'd find most entertaining about the movie so who am I to care. I'm not really a huge Eva fan so they can have Mark Hamil and Rubber suited monsters like the orginal Guyver if they want too...:P

Tarrintino is as likely to write and/or direct EVA as I am to wear a shirt that says "CAMMY is COOL!"
So far he's only done personal projects and unless he suddenly decides this trainwreck in waiting is worth selling out for there's no way he'd get attached.
Yes, it was a silly "Toss name out cause he likes anime" type thing, and for that I apologize. Now I just need to wash the mental image of you wearing a Cammy shirt out of my head...(Ewwww...)
But seriously, I don't think this project is at trainwreck stage yet. Not until the get a scriptwriter and director at least. And heck, I'm actually looking forward to a rewrite given my views on the series. I found the manga to be much better done character wise, and if they can get a good script that takes out the annoying Anno stuff than it could be the cats meow...
Of course they could get the director Charlie's Angels Full Throttle to direct it. Which would be fun, but in a MST3k way...
Edit: For formating, great justice, and to kill the pain of slamming my head in a car door...

How can you tell that the movie will suck, just by those images? They're just production artwork.
I know for a fact that it has one good thing going for it: WETA, the guys who did the special effects for the LOTR trilogy. WETA beats ILM hands down in my book for only one reason: Gollum.
Gollum was only a good characters because he had 3 things to bring him to life:
-an excellent script
-an actor capable of handling the character's depth
-an amazing special effects team.
I can gurantee the EVA movie will lack 2 of the 3 it doesn't have confirmed so far.
I guess I'm being misheard... what I meant by my comment was "I know this movie will suck, but looking at the production art it's going to have an awesome trailer"
that's true about Gollum, but I try not to judge a film before it's even being made/produced. I'm sure it will have an awesome trailer, as most films put the most amazing, eye catching scenes, in a trailer. Even movies that suck have awesome(maybe I'll see that) trailers.
However, I never cared for EVA. I never could stand the whiney boy as the lead character. I never understood why EVA was so popular.
I'd rather see a live action Rahxephon movie any day. IMO, it so much better than EVA

For me it has to be the casting of Gendo. If they cast it correctly, then the movie will be rocking. If not...well...
But then, I'd actually like it if they had Gendo be all Shaft like so feel free to ignore me..
Fuyutsuki - He's one Bad Mother
Kaji - Shut yo mouth!
Fuyutsuki - I'm just talking about Gendo!
Kaji - Then I can dig it...
That's not a bad idea. Maybe that way thre would be less bitching by Shinji.
No, see... Shinji bitching is the best part of having Shaft-Gendo in the movie. Someone made a video a few years ago with scenes of Gendo set to the Shaft theme, and it actually gets you to break out laughing every time Shinji bitches at him or starts crying. That's half the reason why Gendo looks so cool, actually. The scene where Rei perks up and smiles at him is absolutely nothing without Shinji's look of total shock and horror.
As for the movie itself, I wasn't very excited about the idea to begin with, so I don't really care about however they plan to sanitize it for a mass audience. The names thing is sort of amusing, though. Apparently names like Gandalf and Frodo or Wolverine and Cyclops won't confuse or put-off an American audience, but Misato and Asuka will? And I also liked the names they picked. With the exception of Ray, they're plain, generic, Western names. Just like they were in Voltron, G-Force, and Star Blazers. I expect this Americanization to be of similar quality.
