"The Biggest Little Con in Texas" took place August 6th though 8th at the Hampton and Clarion Inn's in Houston Texas. Since the convention was right in Marc Hairston.
As can be be expected, O-Chibicon was not the location of any major licensing announcements, but David Williams did confirm that ADV Films has the license for dub.
ANN reader Fernando Gonzalez Jr was present at O-Chibicon and attended the ADV , hosted by Matt Greenfield. Fernando sent us a transcript of a few of the Q&A that were brought up at the
Q: "You are a producer [for live action Evangelion]. Will you be making a cameo in the film? Traditionally this is the case [for producers]"
A: Greenfield commented on what seemed to be an inside joke on his possible appearance in the film, but he did directly state:
"We are definitely trying to have all of the VAs involved in the film. Both Japanese and American voice actors. We hope each one can have a cameo of some sort. Of course, this will all depend when we actually get closer to the project [production]. Scheduling and so forth."
Q: When answering questions on the film, he reiterated, as he did in other cons and venues, that actors are not currently being seriously considered as the project is in its earliest pre-production. He cited the kids from Harry Potter as a good example of what can happen in a few years.
A: "Before any of that we need a Director. We are currently talking to 7 to 8 directors. These guys are all 'A lists'"
He went on to say that, of course, casting choices would be made by the Director.
Q: "What kind of financial risk will the live action Evangelion be to ADV Films?"
A: Greenfield went on to say, that it is not a financial risk because IT IS Evangelion. He believes that the high production values of Weta, the ion for the project and its worldwide following will guarantee its success.
