Live Action Neon Genesis Evangelion Concept Art

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the weta-deserves-a-crack-at-it dept.

Xzan writes "CGNetworks has released some concept art pictures of the upcoming feature film of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. I think the characters look really ugly, especially "Ray"(Rei in the anime). The concept art is made by Weta Workshop, who also did the special effects for Lord of the rings."

    Why would they want to americanize Evangelion? Much of its cool factor comes from simply being Japanese.

    I can see it now... turning Nerv into the "Department of Homeland Security" with Johnny Depp playing Gendo Ikari..er.. "Tom Ridge".

    Anyone who thinks the girls in those images look "dumpy" needs a good quick reality check.

    While I agree, a few years ago I started to think wrinkles could be 'cute' too, so why listen to an old^ guy like me?

    ( ^ - Old being relitive. I'm still mistaken for ~28 on a regular basis and referred to as 'kid' by 60 year olds. )
