Matt Greenfield (an ADV bigwig), is also known to be very full of shit, he talks about the series with a familiarity like he created Evangelion. I doubt a live-action NGE will ever come to be, but if it does happen, it will definitely suck. There is no way they can condense 13 hours of a TV series and a 2 hour movie into approximately 6 hours and have it be good.

Greenfield is VP of ADV and most definately full of shit. They ran out of project money and are currently trying to convince some financial backers to join the project. That's why WETA stopped pre-production and went on to films which actually have a chance in hell of being made. ADV is also re-re-re-releasing their dead horse title for another beating as a "premium" package that's even better than the extras with "Platinum". This time you get a jacket with those extras they didn't give you the last time for only $250. Being f'ing deal. It wasn't worth it the last few times, it won't be this time either. Grab the R3 which is actually progressive and has all the R2 set stuff for much less.
