They are probably changing the characters of the three Eva pilots and making them older in the movie. That’s probably a good move since it will be quite hard to get teenagers who can pull of the roles of Shinji,Rei and Asuka the way they are done in the series.
I doubt the film will be as good as the series but unless it gets truly horrible reviews I will probably check it out.
Anyway I think the film should be judged on its own terms. There is no way that they will be able to buld up the characters and story like in the series but if they get some good writers and director there is no reason why you couldn’t get a decent film which shares the same broad theme as the series while making some big changes.
It’s a joke. Hideakki Anno would probably kill the perpetrator of such a film with his own bare hands. Besides, the linked poster doesn’t look at all professional.
Keanu Reeves would do an even worse Shinji than Spike Spencer (the English voice actor). Besides, with Keanu as Shinji, they would have to get River Phoenix to be Kaworu, and he’s dead.
