  There's nothing in ADV's press release that states the cast and crew of
Live Action Evangelion will be Americans. Given that Gainax is suppose to be
involved for all we know the film could end up being directed by Hideaki
Anno himself. (Doubtful but I thought I'd toss it out there as wishful
thinking ^_^)

  Plus at this point we don't know if ADV came to Gainax with the idea for
LA Eva. or if it was Gainax that started the ball rolling. It makes much
more sense for me that Gainax wanted to do an Eva film and came to ADV to
help with the funding than ADV decided to turn one of their older series
into a feature film out of the blue.
