Live-Action Evangelion Project Still Active

Halo Legends' producer recently announced that Evangelion is still in the pipeline for a live-action adaptation. In addition, some Weta Workshop concept art hints at the potential awesomeness!

Many years ago, it was announced that Evangelion would be made into a film, and now Halo Legends producer Joseph Chou has informed Anime News Network that not only is the movie still active, but that once the producers clear up a few red tape issues, the project should be put on the the fast track.

What's been the big hold-up? Besides the red tape, apparently the Mecha movie concept has been a difficult pill to swallow in Hollywood, but Chou explained they were on the right track:

"Right now we're with a producer and a studio that really understands beyond the whole mecha impact." Chou added, "They're really looking beyond that, and really looking at drama, human elements, even to those elements that appeal to otaku."


Plenty more concept images can be found here.
