A whole bunch of white people.... I guess we'll just forget about Dragonball Evolution, Avatar the last airbender and Ghost in the Shell.
Danny Devito as Pen Pen
Alright let's make this happen in the modern day, pretty sure all these actors are cheap as hell right now.
Daniel Radcliffe is not cheap as hell nor is Gwyneth Paltrow. We can have Haley Joel Osment as Kaworu as a treat because I do think he would have a perfect voice for Kaworu given his Kingdom Hearts years.
If you wanted to make an incredibly campy B-movie this looks about right.
This would produce something that looks like the Street Fighter movie, competent actors but none of them make sense and none of the cast has any synergy with one another.
SO you are saying there is a chance ?
Raul Julia would have made an incredible Gendo. Not for like, purposes of authentic portrayal or even being remotely faithful to Evangelion as a whole, but it would have been incredible regardless.
Hugo Weaving as Gendo is a good call I think
Apart from the fact that he's not Asian, sure.
(CW: "yellowface" that would make even nick mullen uncomfortable) have you seen cloud atlas?
I can't really picture Daniel Radcliffe and HJO kissing, so I'm gonna have to recast.
Love it, big "GameFAQs casts your x,y,z anime movie" thread vibes.
Takaya Kuroda would make a better Gendo if you ask me.
I don't hate it. Hayley Joel as Kaworu and Chiaki as Rey are probably the only miscast roles IMO. Radcliffe is iffy. If anything, swap Haley and Radcliffe
I despise the idea of Hilary Duff as Asuka lol
It has to be a slightly weird looking ginger haired German girl.
It's her turn
