Evangelion News
The first volume of the Director’s Cut Episodes, “Resurrection” is out. The product and episodes are good, and I would recommend buying a copy if you are a big Eva fan. And if you come here often, then you must be.
On the DVD is a feature with Richard Taylor and Ben Wootten. Taylor is the head of WETA, and Wootten is heading up the pre-production process, so they would be the ones aside from Matt Greenfield to speak about the project. Yet despite the interview’s great length and great number of images, I felt somewhat unsatisfied by the interview. It was essentially just another piece of hype. All I gleaned from the interview was that
Live Action Cutie Honey
Lastly, Hideaki Anno fans should look into the Cutey Honey live action movie, which is the latest film he has directed. Check out the official site for trailers and other info.
Eva Monkey Updates
I have a rather significant set of announcements this week. First of all, I am pleased to announce that I am now affiliated with eva.trivialbeing.net, a rather prominent site dedicated to the Live Action Evangelion Project. There you will find news as it breaks. Check it out, the site has all of the pre-production coverage and images, along with commentary and open forum discussion.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Live Action Movie
Also, I would like to announce in advance that EvaMonkey.com is nearing its one year anniversary, and with that comes a long deserved new layout. The site might be a little inconsistent as I convert the content over to the new format, but believe me, its well worth it. I am quite pleased with the new layout, and I’m sure many of you will be as well.
I’m sure you’ve undoubtedly seen all the new concepts, but in case you haven’t here they are, they are high quality, no watermarking, and minimal editing. Feel free to use them at you discretion, a thank you is much appreciated, just don’t remote link and I’ll be happy. Some are just raw captures because I didn’t have the time to crop them all. But I should get to the rest in time.
If you haven’t noticed the new link at the bottom of the Beyond Eva section of the navbar, then be sure to check out the new section devoted to Evangelion Anime Music Videos, where I will submit myself to the discomfort of watching terrible AMVs so you won’t have to. Be sure to read the new essay in the Written Statements section entitled “A theory of creation, existence, and destruction as interpreted from Shin Seiki Evangelion”. And finally, though it is not part of this site’s content I would like to relay you to this rather lengthy article on Anime News Network entitled “Understanding Evangelion” that aptly dissects the phenomenon that is Evangelion, which I enjoyed reading.
