With the recent release of Evangelion 3.0/3.33 at New York Comic Con and the backlash fans from Japan AND the US are having now, I have a list of ten directors that could make a reboot of the franchise work.
(Boo! Reboots! Consider it though with this list...)
10. David Fincher He can get the emotions right between the underage characters having sex. He can make that controversy and fan service raciness work, while hopefully making a masterpiece on terms of Fight Club. Makes you wonder how 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea will be.
9. John Hughes Breaking the fourth wall, Shinji or a narrator can bring a real dynamic to the storyline.
8. Alfred Hitchcock
It can be a psychoanalytic film of course. It can be a silent film. It can be black and white. It can be color. Rei will have dopplegangers. It will be a technical achievement and masterpiece.
7 &6. F.W. Munrau and Fritz Lang
Imagine what they did back then and what they can do now.
5. Carl Theodor Dreyer
No one can do religious imagery and relevance like Carl Theodor Dreyer except maybe..
4. Ingmar Bergman
Imagine Ingmar Bergman's direction of Death as a being in the Seventh Seal with his ability to work with actors in Scenes From a Marriage. The dynamic he can bring to the characters and see as their characters in Evangelion.
3. David Lynch Some have compared End of Evangelion with a David Lynch film. Imagine if he actually directing it. Rei Ayanami probably inspired the blonde wig used in Mulholland Drive.
2. Paul Thomas Anderson A film about religion starring Paul Dano with Daniel Day-Lewis playing his father with the psychadelicness of Punch-Drunk Love.
1. Stanley Kubrick It would be interesting to see Evangelion have a double narrative to the point of a Stanley Kubrick narrative. He directed Space epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Anno was obviously inspired by the Shining and 2001's Blue Danube sequence creating the twins. The pyramid is an illuminati image.
