I just went to Anime Allience (Look down on the main Forum page) and I found something astounding:
The live action Evangelion project is indeed underway and being made as a movie. Here is the article (edited for grammar and spelling-I can't help it, I'm neurotic!):
Neon Genesis EvanGelion (Live Action Movie!)
(Weta) has been designing a live-action adaptation of Neon Genesis: Evangelion. The film is on hold but it is Weta’s hope that it will enjoy getting to work on the film production of this amazing story in the near future.
EVA the Film is Under Development right now.
What’s cool about the film is that the people that did the special effects on Hellboy, Van Helsing, King kong & “The Lord Of The Ring’s. WOW, If you seen the Lord of The Ring’s and the othere movie’s then the special effects will be really really cool.
Here is the site to see more of Evangelion or other files they did on special effect’s.

Personally, I'm overjoyed. I thought the project had been scrapped....
