Why haven't they made a live action Evangelion yet?
Keanu Reeves is getting too old to play Shinji. Though personally I think he could still pull it off.
They did
Please tell me you're joking, user. Although Keanu is definitely a pussy, so it could work.
John Boyega as Shinji
Leslie Jones as Asuka
Idris Elba as Gendo
>Rei smiling
?
Michael Cera would be perfect as that faggot Shinji
an elderly shinji would he interesting
i don't think hollywood companies can effectively launder money with movies that require massive amounts of cgi, and despite the always insidious trend chasing "fanbase", I don't think they could turn profit from regular screenings
We already have that character.
Of course I'm joking. Keanu was already too old when the rumors first began nearly two decades ago. I still think he could pull it off.
why should they
they are nothing alike
Wrong pic
Fun fact: Anno is a good friend of director Shunji Iwai and he recommended him to use digital cameras on All About Lily Chou-Chou
Kento Yamazaki as Shinji
>James May is getting too old to play Rei. Though personally I think he could still pull it off.
He was born for this role
Yamazaki is too handsome to be Shinji. He was fine on the live action of Your Lie on April where he played a nerdy character in contrast with his usual jerkass shoujo leads but I'd prefer a more average-looking actor
>live action eva
>essence and morals of the story is lost in favor of action pack mecha fights.
That will happen, don't think it won't because that's what will you get.
>Yamazaki is too handsome to be Shinji.
Movies don't take that risk, not even if it'd make the most sense. And for NGE it doesn't really even, because Yui was supposedly 11/10 top cute.
So, rebuild?
god imagine the elevator scene
>silence
>more silence
>"asuka, good news the dacia sander-"
>asuka slaps rei
im suprised anno didnt try to make a dogme 95 film when he was doing the live action films
>why havent they made a [inferior version]?
Didn't Goro do it already?
How about Takeru Satoh?
Not in the eyes of Hollywood producers. They think in very broad strokes.
>Giant robots fighting evil aliens
>Appeals to boys and young men
Hey you know that when they dubbed Pacific rim into Japanese the actress for what's her face rei clone said she was actually born in Japan and can speak Japanese fluently,
And then the production company said yeah that's good but we're using megumi hayashibara
They'll already have Kaworu, and to a lesser extent Kaji for their eye candy hot guys. Shinji can be played by an average uggo like how he looks in the show.
>an average uggo like how he looks in the show
What the hell are you talking about? He and Asuka have the same fucking face structure.
From the same episode for the sake of consistency.
He's literally described as being plain looking in the show, and ugly by the official character designer.
It doesn't matter if he has the same face as the other characters, the boring bangs/hair and the darker skin solidify him as boring-looking for Anime standards. Which is intentional.
Yeah, he looks ugly there. My point exactly.
I always got the impression that Shinji was a solid 6.5, kinda cute in a boyish way but not Kaji-tier where women will want to jump on his dick 24/7.
Nah, he's described as plain-looking in the show by other characters and he looks plain-looking in real life too. That's why he has no female fans.
