Talk:Neon Genesis Evangelion (live-action movie)

message: The two "Director's Cut" DVDs released in 2004 feature pre-production stills created by the Weta Workshop, the company behind the special effects used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.-- The Director's Cut DVD's of what, exactly?--MythicFox 09:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ressurection and Genesis Reborn contained the special video versions of episodes 21-24, denoted 21'-24', similar to 25'/Air, and 26'/My Purest Heart for You.  Episodes 25-26 were included on Genesis Reborn, but they were not in fact special in any way, it was merely a way of stretching the director's cuts onto two dvds, in order to profit more from them.--Theevamonkey 05:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What DVD's? 

message: A-6 treatment? That section title suggests that that treatment actually exists. Actual treatments might exist, but we don't know anything yet about their contents. If I understand correctly A-6 is just a conventient name for a set of fan speculation / fan fiction. --GunnarRene 14:11, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

message: From "Racial disagreements":
:Not long after Grant's statements, fuel was added to the fire when concept art produced by Weta Workshop was released featuring character slug name such as "Kate Rose" (in lieu of Asuka Langley), "Ray" (Rei Ayanami), and "Susan Whitnall" (Misato Katsuragi).
What on earth is a "slug name"? Sum0 22:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those are names given to the characters just for the sake of reference in production (in other words, "placeholder" names). It doesn't necessarily mean that's what they'll be called in the finalized production. Tony Myers 02:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Per the notability guidelines for films, all verifiable content about this project should be placed in the article of the source material, Neon Genesis Evangelion.  The guideline stipulates that production must have begun to warrant its own article, and there does not seem to be any indication here that this is happening.  My suggestion is to create a "Film" subsection under "Other media" at the source material's article.  When production begins, then the article can be re-created.  The issue here is that there's no telling when or if this will happen; even the new Superman film took 20 years to reach the big screen. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If it has to be merged anywhere, I'd say merge it into the NGE media article.  The main article is already over the "size limit"; adding more to it won't help any. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 17:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Ok, List of Neon Genesis Evangelion media seems appropriate, then.  This article and Untitled Evangelion Project can be redirected to the specific section there.  I'm not familiar with this project, but I would suggest cleaning up the article in line with the five pillars before the merge takes place.  It seems a little bit messy at the moment.  If any interested editors have questions about how to do this, let me know. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Pre-production is not the same thing as actual production.  There is no guarantee of a full-blown plot section, a cast section, a production section, and a production section.  Per the notability guidelines for future films, it doesn't stay.  However, per the future films department's process, you are welcome to treat it to its own section under a broader article.  See Jurassic Park IV, Spider-Man 4, Shantaram (film), Logan's Run (2010 film), and Fahrenheit 451 (2009 film) as just a few examples of such merges. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge 

message: I do not think the part about the email belongs under the "Tekkoshocon 2006 panel" heading. Either a new heading should be made about "email from____(whoever)" or something. It kind of looks wrong the way it is now. The email part is "Weta Workshop customer service manager Darren Reddiex stated "Currently this project hasn't been greenlit. We ourselves are very hopeful the project will go ahead as, given the opportunity, we'd love to continue working on it ourselves." when responding to a fan's email.

message: I found this news blurb on scifi.com. Of course it's pure speculation, but I haven't heard of any other popular animes being made into live actions projects, and the high level of secrecy would fit the NGE production.
Here's the link to the news blurb:

message: I went to the weta website and evangelion is in the past works category. Does it mean that they are not going to be doing it after all?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.66.218.140 (talk) 15:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As of now it is still being made. There has been no official announcement yet of a cancellation. With $120 million USD at stake, I don't think they can cancle productions now. The time for cancleing this movie is passed (unless they want to lose money). - Prede (talk) 21:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Some speculation shows that some japanese names may be change. If that's true than there maybe a change in the title, NEON GENESIS= NEW CENTURY. What do you think?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.182.79.237 (talk) 19:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You streched the page, so I fixed it, hope you don't mind. I haven't heard anything like that, but as of now, not much info has been released. That could very well be true, or just a  false rumur. I don't think they would change the name, but you never know. As for what to do with this article, keep the name like this unless there is any announcement from ADV or a reliable source. Also no need to mention this on the main page, sense it is here, unless it get announced of course, then there should be a section about it (but I doubt they would change the name for the  live acion movie) - Prede (talk) 02:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Are any of these relevant to the actual film?
(if not, they are really good for fan videos!)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.61.217 (talk) 03:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, I am 99% sure they are all fan made. They are all great, but fan made. Sense a director has not even been picked yet, and filming hasn't even started it would be pretty hard to have a trailor out already. - Prede (talk) 07:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Previews on YouTube? 

message: I was the one who recently went through the Live Action Evangelion Project page to try and clean it up to Wikipedia standards (as it was marked). I see that the page has been reverted to its former self, with the edits that I made included along with all the material that I originally removed. The reason I did remove so many parts of the article is that it merely lengthened an article that honestly does not have much known information. It is best to keep what we do know concise and clear for those who only want a short overview of the project as is, if not to be ready for when the project is eventually greenlit and we have more information to add (what we have now will eventually then have to fit in a section dealing with the project's history).
I propose that, with my rewritings standing, the "Tekkoshocon 2006 Panel" and "Story" sections are at best repetitive and at worst superfluous. Even the sections on "Cast" and the "Actor Ethnicity" controversy, I think, can be better integrated into the article.
I'll leave my comments here and let you come to your own decisions. Good luck Ode2joy (talk) 02:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the one who put that info back up there. I am pretty sure we all felt/feel (when we made that part) that the "Tekkoshocon 2006 Panel" part was to be left up here, until more information about the movie becomes availble, and that is when we would remove it. Once more pre-production info gets released and the movie comes out of "development hell" then we can take that down. Of course if that is not what everyone else wants...then we can take it down. As of now I feel it is best to have that here, sense there is not much else about the movie on this page. It's not like we "have to make space" for the info, we can delete that whole section when information is released, not before, sense it could be months/years before more info is even released. And as for the "story" part,  I don't care really what happens with that. It is just a pre-curser to info about the story when the movie comes out (plot/characters/themes etc.). Also the page seemed rather empty without the "Tekkoshocon 2006 Panel" section. - Prede (talk) 03:55, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trimming Article 

message: Source this new section please? Otherise it could be deleted. I haven't heard this info yet. If it's not sourced it is considered a rumur. - Prede (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I tryed to source it, can't find anything remotly close about the writers for this movie, if their names have even been released yet. The names listed don't seem to be related at all to this project. These are probally just rumurs. Unless this section is sourced, do not re-add it. Of course if you source it please place it up!! It only can help wikipedia! - Prede (talk) 05:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: In the event a live-action film ends up getting made, I will be sure to merge this with the talk page of the article, as it shows historical discussions saround the topic. It would probably be retitled to match the hypothetical article, most likely gonna be called Neon Genesis Evangelion (film), Evangelion (film), or whatever it ends up as.
