Subject: Evangelion Live Action   Posted on 05-21-2003 01:22 -=- By {-SzR-}        -Gainax, Weta, and ADV teaming up for film -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variety.com (original article only available to subscribers--free trial available), reporting from the Cannes Film Festival, reports that Gainax, Weta, and ADV are teaming up to produce a live action film based on Neon Genesis Evangelion. Gainax and ADV Films should be instantly recognizable to any anime fan as the studio that created Evangelion and ADV as the studio that owns the worldwide rights to the TV series and localized it for North American audiences. Weta Workshop, however, may not be a familiar name. Weta is the New Zealand studio set up by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson to handle the special effects for the LOTR trilogy. Adding complete credibility to this story is the quote from ADV Films president and co-founder John Ledford: "The three main players here represent something of a dream team for a project like this. Between the quality and significance of Gainax, Weta's industry-leading skill in visual effects and our expertise in the marketing and promotion of anime and anime-related content, this project is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." To top it off, while the film is still in early development, Ledford mentions an "aggressive timetable." Neon Genesis Evangelion joins a growing list of titles, including Kite, Dragonball Z, Battle Angel, and Lupin III, that are rumored or confirmed to have live-action remakes in the works. ANN has confirmed this story with ADV Films. ANN -=-SzR.

Subject: Manga Entertainment news   Posted on 05-18-2003 13:56 -=- By {-SzR-}        -A recent chat with Manga Entertainment revealed the following: The Patlabor and Blackjack DVDs that were due out on the 12th May have been released on schedule. 23rd June will see the release of Akira: The Ultimate Collection. This is a revised DVD edition of the movie, containing both the new English dub done by Pioneer, and the original Steamline dub. The first volume of Virus Buster Serge will be release on 14th July. This is the latest anime from Masami Obari (Fatal Fury, Gowcaiser). On the same day, the second set of 'Manga: the Collection' releases will also come out. As with the first set, these DVDs are no-frills re-releases of old Manga titles for £9.99 each. The titles this time are Bubblegum Crash, Violence Jack, Rayearth, New Gall Force and Dark Myth. Moving on to 11th August we have a DVD re-release of Ghost in the Shell. This version will be remastered, and have more extras than the original release. The last two new releases planned are tentative - Read or Die on 11th August and Kaidomaru on 8th September. Being so far ahead, there's a good chance these dates will slip. -=-SzR. Subject: Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 Trailer   Posted on 05-18-2003 01:24 -=- By {-Kevin-}        -Hey, The much anticipated Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 trailer has been released. This is the one that was being shown at the E3 convention in California. As you may know, hundreds of the newest game titles from a ton of developers are announced each year at this special convention. It's times like these I wish I lived in the USA. Anyways, the trailer says "34 Heroes and Villains". More then the 22 or so characters that appeared in Dragon Ball Z Budokai. The graphics are also quite a bit different then the first Budokai. Most notably is that they look more like the Anime then an actual video game, not really 3D. It looks good to me, but who knows some of you might not like it as much. I can't wait until it's out! - 56K Modems - DSL or Modem - T1 or Cable Links hosted by: The official DBZ site. -=-Kevin. Subject: KO Beast   Posted on 05-16-2003 22:10 -=- By {-SzR-}        -K.O.
