There is a rumor about an upcoming movie based on this series.
The new movie is planned to be ready for next summer (2006). Even though the evangerion is an anime series the upcoming movie seems not to be.
The new movie would be with real actors on real sets so some critics already say it won't be worth it ... anyway this is all a rumor .. I don't have a source yet since I heard this on the radio ... I'll look around for info ...

Some time has passed and generally rumors get uncovered, and now we're in 2006. Have you found any info? you said you would look for it.
Also...... regarding being real actors or not, would you like that?

Yes I have found new info regarding the upcoming Evangelion Movie.
So far there is not an assaigned Director for the film but it will be a mayor hollywood production with funding of about 100 million (to give you an idea .... Matrix used 63 million budget, StarWars Episode one was supposed to use 115 million, Lord of the rings used around 109 million, so this is no little movie).
The Movie will be ready fro to 2006 or till 2010. As of rigth now they are still making the concept art. There is no electect or tentative cast. The movie will not be anime style, instead it will be made with real actors.
Regarding the plot, the movie will include all the initial episoides upto and including Ramiel (The Cube Angel). But it seems it won't be a remake. The story is open to modifications.
The special effects will be made by Weta Workshop, the same from Lord of the Rings.
Since the concept of the movie is to comunicate the message of the anime to people outside the anime move, the movie will not be anime but real actors in seudo realistic eviroments. Further more, there are rumors that the names of some characters along with their stetic aperance will change. A tentative name for Rei would be Ray and for Asuka would be Kate Rose. Nevertheless, these are just rumors based on some filenames found within some concept art images.
This is all I now for know ... I'll keep looking...
Source: Too many to be depicted...
Now regarding your question:
I prefer anime over other types of visual arts, but I won't judge before I see it. What I can judge is the idea behind those decitions and my judgement is.... good intention, not sure it will work. I do hope the result will be better than what happen to the first Final Fantasy Movie...
What about everyone else ... What do you say? what have you heard?

I say... nothing and have heard nothing, LOL.
WHat's wrong with the first FF movie? it was fine, I saw it, it has the FF series type of plot and all... unless they spent too much money but I'm not sure and probably don't even care to investigate.

That's going off topic but ... I'll answer anuway... the first final fantasy movie was not what most fans expected or wanted and it fail to gain much support from the people outside the Final fantasy fans. At least this is what I have heard around forums and stuff...
