Manji Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 You are all starting to scare me. My flashbacks of The Guyver are bad enough.... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hey, the Guyver wasn't that bad. Not totally bad. Not totally horrible. But hardly the greatest. Guyver II was pretty cool, if a tad long and over-winded, but the combat scenes more than made up for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel's Fury Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 (edited) I think Haley Joe Smith would have a much better chance of getting the part of Ikari Shinji than Daniel Radcliffe. If it's done right with the right cast, then people will watch it. Wizard recently did a special edition of "Catsing Call" for the N.G. EVA film for their sister publication (Anime Insider) and had him down on their wishlist for actor they would like to see play Shinji. Have you seen Haley Joel Osment lately? I wish I had a recent image of him. If they're still showing it, check out the rebroadcasts of the GLOW Awards on G4TV and watch the live via satellite snippet of him after Kingdom Hearts won the award for Best Screenplay. Puberty has not been kind to Little Lord Osment. As far as the filming locations for the film, it has already been stated that the film wil be partially shot in New Zealand, as that is where Weta is based. The cast will also be a melting pot of actors and extras from many ethnic backgrounds. Let's hope Chris Tucker doesn't catch wind of this, as the last thing we need is a NERV officer screaming "DAMN, SHINJI! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET EVA UNIT 01 EAT THAT S^2 ENGINE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" Seriously though, with the film's budget reportedly hitting on or near the $100 million mark, this live action retelling of the entire story had better not be disappointing. As far as length, four hours may seem like a long time for a movie, but the Director's Cuts of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" are 10-20 minutes shy of this mark each AND they will be shown back-to-back along with "The Return of the King" on its opening day in select cities. Twelve hours of Middle Earth. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Thanks for getting the name right. So it's the same guys who made the Lord of the Rings Trilogy who is going to make this movie?

Guyver II was pretty cool, if a tad long and over-winded, but the combat scenes more than made up for that Little known fact, maybe well known. The guy who played Guyver, David Hayter, did the voice of Solid Snake and wrote the scripts for the X-Men movies. Plus he voiced Captain Planet.

It was much better then the parody starring Mark Hamill. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that he also took the character name "Sean Barker" (of Guyver II) as an alias in some of the voice acting/dubbing work as well.

Soap opera actor Jack Armstrong played as Sean Barker/the Guyver. Mark Hamill played the role as FBI agent Max Reed in the first Guyver movie, in which his character was given the worst/silliest death in sci-fi when he dies during mistransformation as a Zoanoid mutant (he was freed from the conversion chamber too early). Believe me, it's laughable and grusome to see Hamill having to act so low. The poster/video cover was just false advertising just to get the viewers to watch. <_< Edited September 9, 2003 by Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uminoken Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah, I think the whole thing depends on the production crew, and as it looks too be mostly NZ-produced, I'll give it a shot (the last things they did were Whale Rider and LOTR ) Although an AV EVA would be nice, I could easily see Akira Watase as Asuka......

Batou Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks for getting the name right. So it's the same guys who made the Lord of the Rings Trilogy who is going to make this movie? Weta, Peter Jackson's SFX house is doing the effects for it. Neither Jackson, nor any of the other staff associated with LotR are involved, though. Kind of like how ILM does special effects for lots of movies, but you wouldn't say that George Lucas is involved in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Jenius Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 If that hack Peter Jackson was involved I'd know to stay clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang_Neumann Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 (edited) You are all starting to scare me. My flashbacks of The Guyver are bad enough.... Hey, you're not kidding. I just remembered- "Sho Fukimachi" quickly became "Sean Barker" when they adapted that story for live action.
