Now the news revolves around the world of Evangelion, as fans of the franchise eagerly await the final film based on the series. Titled Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0, this new film, or rather the final one, is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan in 2015. Sources say the title and logo for the next film in the series were revealed after the screening of the last film released last year, You Can (Not) Redo, on Japanese television this week. More news about the new film will be released soon.
Rebuild of Evangelion is a series of four films based on the anime and manga television series that retell the events of the original TV series in an alternative format. The first was titled Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone, the second Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance, the third Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo, and the fourth and final installment was provisionally titled Rebuild of Evangelion 4.0: Final. The Blu-ray versions are titled Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11, 2.22, and 3.33, as they are enhanced versions of the DVD release.
The plot was presented as an alternative way of retelling the original story where the first three films were meant to be an "alternative retelling" of the series, while the fourth and final film is promised to have an entirely new ending to the series.
