[EVA] Dear Butch Cassidy

[Aaron Clark]

Dear Butch,

1) AD Vision Films - ADV Films was known as AD Vision, however is now 
only ADV Films, not AD Vision Films.
2) Grinax - The production studio is known as Gainax, not Grinax
3) 'Battle Angel Alfa' - There is no such thing, however Cameron is 
rumored by unreliable sources to be working on a Battle Angel Alita 
film.
4) James Cameron - I can't believe this is getting dregged up.  He made 
a statement a while back, almost a year ago, that he had INTEREST in 
making a film based off of an anime license such as Evangelion.

James Cameron may have expressed interest in making a live action Eva 
movie, ok, I can believe that, a lot of directors and film makers (like 
the Wachowski brothers) are otaku. Hell, Steven Spielberg is a video 
gamer, he even approached the development team of GoldenEye, telling 
them about Saving Private Ryan, and how they should do a military FPS, 
thus spawning the Medal of Honor Series.  Nevertheless that was a 
statement that got misconstrued over time and has no bearing on the 
project at hand.

If he has in fact approached ADV, Gainax, or WETA since the press 
release then a source would help your credibility a long way.

5) Concept Art - Concept, as in ideas... yes, the one piece does look 
like Asuka in a Unit-02 plug suit, but then again, last I checked, she 
wasn't a brunette.  More importantly, notice the fact that she's not 
facing forward, it could be Hikari for all we know, and who's to say 
how old the character is?  Or that this is a character that will be in 
the film?

These are just ideas being thrown around, they are merely a refined 
form of fan art, not to be taken as being indicative of the final 
result of the film.

In my opinion, speculation should be reserved till something legitimate 
and substinate has been released to the media.  There are no details 
whatsoever aside from the fact that the film will be made.  It is far 
too early to presume anything or take anyone's word as fact concerning 
this project.

After all, thats how unfounded rumors get bled into the media.
