New live action anime coming to hollywood. This time? Full metal panic...
relic2279:
I have hopes for the Evangelion live action that's been in pre-production for awhile. They secured financing (to the tune of the lord of the rings budget) for a trilogy.

Budget
The movie will have a budget of approximately one hundred million - this is a rough estimate but it gives us the info that this movie will be a blockbuster (hopefully of epic proportions).
“Recent Internet rumors suggest that the Evangelion movie shall have the budget equal to that of a blockbuster, being roughly of 100 million or more. To compare this with other top movies; The Matrix had a $63 million budget and LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring had a budget of $109 million. It is unknown where such cash is coming from as the income of Anime does not rival that of Hollywood blockbusters.”

And Zac Efron will ALSO be Shinji! =.=;; If that happens, I swear I will never watch any western film again.

yeah, at the moment that's an exception. hope he does a fine live action (or whatever the current plans were)
maybe I should get a hold of the manga to know why it's so great. just heard from friends that it's awesome.

watch the movie/ 2part ova thats out it covers the 2/3 of the first manga books and is most of whats going to be in the movie. They are apparently trying to a trilogy covering the 9 chunks of manga in threes.
And the only reason i have high hopes for it is because of what he did with terminator in the 80s

For some reason I was thinking of Full Metal Alchemist, then continue on reading it mentioned about comedy and high school romance, immediately there I stopped and went "wut! high school romance in FMA???" then I realised it was FMP...damn those similiar names.
If they want to do some mech type movie they coulda chose something else really, not that I'm a fan of mecha.
