I think you overestimate the degree to which people care, or maybe the degree to which said people matter. Consider how similar toying with Judeo-Christian mythology has failed to prevent The DaVinci Code from apparently being THE GREATEST BOOK EVER OH MAn.

Well, it's had it's share of Hollywood idiots hailing it as such.
I think showing a giant one-eyed alien corpse thing with no lower body crucified and bleeding might be a tad much for even them.

Lilith had seven eyes, though. And her body didn't just end; it sort of terminated in a gob of marshmallow-like gunk that had body parts sticking out of it. Hollywood would probably show that, though. It not too far off from some stuff in horror films.
What might get yanked if Shinji copping a feel on Rei's breast. Hollywood might be a little antsy about a 15 year feeling up a girl who's carrying part of his dead mother's soul.

That "marshmello gunk" was it trying to regenerate it's lower body (the lance stuck in it kept it from doing so).
Needless to say, I dont think a live-action movie is ever going to happen (and if it did, it would likely look like a cheap Godzilla movie -at best).

Yes, when Rei pulled out the lance, the gunk quivered and then reformed into legs. Legs that need a good couple hours with a Thighmaster.
I agree that the movie will likely get made. It would be really expensive and not a whole of people are familiar with it, and, of those that are, probably half of them equate anime to tentacle monsters raping Japanese school girls. What concerns me more is a live-action Transformers movie.

Personally, I'd love to see a live-action/CGI "Transformers" movie. Done right. The one they're making is, I'm sure, going to be awful. Megatron won't even be a gun. And I'll be surprised if they even try to get the (living) original voice actors.

well some of them ARE deceased, you know...
the one that comes to mind, forgive me that i forget his name, the Black Voice actor famous for 1940's movies work, who was one of the porchse Autobots. I should know this but its been years since ive had any interest in the genre...

Sigh...Dreamworks has already announced that Megatron will not transform into a gun.
They're worried about either the negative "gun image" or not being able to sell gun toys to kids or both.
For really cool ooking G-1 Transformers, check out the Beast wars episode where they all go back in time ro the Ark- that was cool.

"This thing wasn't built -- it was poured!"

ZING!
For the record, the entire series was back in time. They just found the Ark after it crashed, but before the volcano erupted and woke up Teletran.
Megatron as a tank would work for me, as long as it's a kickass non-purple tank... I've been re-writing the original cartoon pilot, un-cheesifying the dialogue, getting everyone to sound right according to what their personalities were later more solidly established as, and adding a passel of later characters for the early stuff on Cybertron -- those who get left behind, like Springer, Blurr, Elita-One, and Ultra Magnus.
I hate to say it, but from what I've seen of the movie in the works, I hope it dies stillborn. Then maybe I'll have a shot at seeing this one go through...
And anyone besides Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime would kill it for me right off. And for the record, here's the list of v/a casualties, off the top of my head:
Orson Welles Chris Latta Robert Stack Lionel Stander Scatman Crothers Roger C. Carmel Don Messick
I'm pretty sure others have passed, but these are all I can remember at the moment. Personally, I'd love to get Mark Hamill in to be the new Starscream.

And just what did you think I meant by the word "living"?
"And anyone besides Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime would kill it for me right off."
If they couldn't get him, I'd be happy with Gary Chalk. After all, at this point, he's been various Optimuses for far longer than Cullen ever was. Though, of course, Cullen would be first choice.
And I can't imagine why they wouldn't be able to get Frank Welker. He's in everything else.

Even Neil Kaplan would rather have Peter. I met him at BotCon a few years back, along with Michael McConnohie. Wonderful guys. Peter Cullen was the reason Neil got into voice acting, and he can do a closer Prime than anyone I've ever heard. But even he would rather take Ironhide if it meant having the big guy back where he belongs. *heh*
