Shin Evangelion Gekijōban:|| hits theaters in 2020. A short teaser trailer is being shown prior to screenings of Mamoru Hosoda’s Mirai of the Future (Mirai no Mirai).
In May, we reported that Studio Khara was looking to hire staffers for the film in the following positions:
- 3D CGI Animatiors
- Visual Effects Staff
- 2D Animators
Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 was originally slated to hit Japanese theaters in 2015. The film’s title was originally unveiled in 2012. At the time, it was explained that the :|| was a musical symbol to denote repetition at the end of a measure.
To date, three films have been produced in the Rebuild of Evangelion line:
- Evangelion 1.0: You Are [Not] Alone (2007)
- Evangelion 2.0: You Can [Not] Advance (2009)
- Evangelion 3.0: You Can [Not] Redo (2012)
Funimation currently holds the domestic rights to all three features. The company released Evangelion 3.0 on Blu-Ray in North America in 2016. The Blu-Ray, was delayed from a planned September 2013 launch, was co-produced by Studio Khara.
