There Is No Live-Action Evangelion Movie, But There Is This
This is a trailer for In God We Trust, an obviously Evangelion-inspired fan movie made by childhood friends Alex Gingell, Dan Haigh, Bastiaan Koch, and Alex Westaway as a demo reel/resume. It contains no EVA Units — it appears to have substituted military soldiers graphically killing each other for rampaging giant robots with dead moms in them — but there are plenty of nods to the ground-breaking anime. Plus, since a live-action Evangelion movie would likely be the worst fucking thing ever, I’m pretty content with this. Thanks to Terjay for the tip.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
