Gainax is trying to make up for 11 years of evangelion silence with more details about the four new movies in the works. The films will all be under the name of Rebuild of Evangelion, followed by Part 1, 2, 3 and the last being called Conclusion. Which, quite frankly, shouldn’t mean much to fans since we all know how final The End of Evangelion was.

For the first 3 parts some the filming and animation will be re-done from the original series while Conclusion will be completely new, whatever that means. Part 1 is set for release summer 2007, part 2 early 2008 and parts 3 and 4 will come out together early summer 2008. The series also promises to reveal new facts previously unknown. You mean a new series means new content?! Groundbreaking!

About a month ago we had rumors that a new Evangelion project, called Khara, was brewing. And now the cover’s been blown! The October issue of Newtype (Japan) 4 new Evangelion movies are already in the works. The four films fit the series as a prequel, a mid-series movie a sequel and a final one.

The prequel is already in production and set for release in summer 2007. The rest of the movies are set during the same time frame as the series, although its mentioned that you wont need to know anything about Evangelion to understand them. Which is kind of unsettling, it might even clue on the fact that it does not revolve around the classic characters.

Hideaki Anno will write the first movie and direct the entire project. No info was given as to who will write the rest of the films. And what was that Khara project after all? Khara is the name of the new studio working along Gainax for this project.

So much for ‘The end of Evangelion’. I foresee many more years of ‘teh rei’ and emo Shinji jokes, blessed be the internets.
