It might not be THAT bad ... (Score 3, Informative)

I was extremely sceptical when I first read about this. But now that i've thought about it for a while, a live action Eva film might not be THAT bad.

The important thing is that there's no sign of any hollywood studio being involved. I suspect that means that most of the creative work will be done by Gainax, with ADV providing the $$$$ and Weta obviously doing the special effects. If Gainax and Anno are left to do their thing, then the project might turn out alright. The special effects might look a big cheap due to a (relatively) small budget, but I can't imagine Gainax and Anno sanitizing Eva like everyone says.

But then again, this is Gainax we're talking about ...
