Neon Genesis Evangelion (film live) "Tel un ange cruel, jeune homme tu deviendras une légende !"

Live-Action Neon Genesis Evangelion Not Dead Yet (news de Février 2010)



We may be able to see the long-awaited Mecha Angel battle some day. Halo Legends' producer announced that Evangelion is still in the pipeline for a live-action adaptation. And some Weta Workshop concept art hints at the potential awesomeness. Evangelion is a massive series about a group of teenagers who pilot a kick ass band of mechas to fight the evil Angel mechas, who are trying to destroy the world.
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."

I guess we'll have to bide our time with this concept art from Weta Workshop via CG Society.

Interview de Weta:

Perso, ce qui m'intéresserait le plus dans un film live Evangelion, si ce n'est évidemment les combats titanesques et le parcours psychologique de ses personnages écorchés de la vie, ça serait la manière dont un réalisateur serait capable de mettre en scène les séquences les plus difficiles et les plus abstraites.

On dira ce qu'on veut mais, si Evangelion a autant marqué les spectateurs, c'est aussi pour ses questionnements existentiels et sa représentation sans concession du mal-être humain. C'était une série qui plaisait aux spectateurs autant qu'elle les déroutait. Le film ne pourrait pas en faire abstraction.
