People have already been ripping it off poorly. Nobody does split realities and dreams like Kon did. Animation just has such a leg up on that sort of stuff.
Evolution???
Spiritual reboot of GHostbusters
I am sure Bobby Roberts has words about it
Talking about a cast that disappeared.
It would be his first good decision
She was the president in Hunger Games. That's about it from what I can recall in the 10s
I'd bump it. I remember Jones and Dave coming on TRL to promote the flick and thinking it looked like trash. Saw it on TV and loved it.
She also won best actress in Still Alice the year before last. She's also in Kingsman 2 this week.
EDIT: I originally said that she was nominated, forgetting that she won.

Ah ok. You were talking about anime and listing anime movies, so I thought you mispelled Evangelion.

Didn't Julianne Moore win an Oscar like 2 years ago?
Ah, that was the movie.

Well i also brought the Tenchi Muyo movie, man that was a sad time in my geekdom
When my younger brother was in early high school (early 00s), he was into anime but not old enough to really be discerning. One Boxing Day (Canadian Black Friday, only the day after X-Mas) he came home with the Escaflowne movie. It cost him something like $70, thanks to the ridiculous price of early 00s anime DVDs and the weak Canadian dollar at the time. His buyers remorse was immediate.

I haven't watched anime seriously since Macross. Aside from a Miyazaki flick here and there.
Fun fact: I have never seen
Akira

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Linda Hamilton and Terminator are trending on Twitter in the US, but Tomb Raider isn't. This is what you get for premiering your trailer at 1am on IGN. 😒

You should watch it. If anything just for the artistic marvel of the animation. It is very impressive.
Both of those are way better than Tomb Raider, though.

I have dabbled in most forms of geekdom that don't really require me to interact in real life with other geeks (basically collectable card games, table-top gaming and PnP RPGs), so I went through an anime and manga phase in late high school and university. Probably 98 to 04ish. I watched a ton of stuff made during that period, and prior to it. I have watched very little since. I think that Samurai Champloo was coming out at about the same time that I was losing interest with anime. I watched an episode or two.
I never watched any Macross stuff though. I've seen Neon Genesis and Patlabor, but I was never really interested in mechs.

I never bothered with 2, 7 or Zero.
I watched Plus once and bailed. The original with Hikaru, Minmay, Max, Millia and Misa is all I swear by.

Check out the Action Figure OT some time.
Seriously, that Macross stuff will make your head spin.

I got into Macross from watching Robotech, which is confusing to say the least. Additional the movie they're developing is based around Robotech and not Macross. The western made video games were based on Robotech, while the Japanese games were Macross.
Speaking of Robotech, It's director Andy Muschietti is signed on to direct Robotech. Used to be James Wan. Just recently they brought on a new writer. Don't know if Tobey Maguire and Leo DiCaprio remain involved, or left when Sony took it over.

I like Front Mission (well, liked. Real Front Mission is dead), and I don't hate them in Metal Gear Solid. I never bothered with Mech Warrior, Zone of Enders, Armored Core, etc though.
I'm drawing a blank on mechs in western movies outside of Pacific Rim and Robot Wars.

Robot Jox?
That's the one I meant actually. Robot Wars was the even worse sequel.

Does the Hugh Jackman one count?
Real Steel? Weren't those just regular robots?
I should play Front Mission so I can be sad its gone. I like stuff with mechs but the mechs themselves have never been a reason to go experience something
Not a mech, like at all. I love robots and AIs. I'm reading Pluto and All Systems Red right nowAnd yet your nickname is:

Where do we draw the line between mechs and power suits?

I suppose power suits/armor is 1:1 with the users movements while you end up driving mechs, but that's not all that true. Pacific Rim and G Gundam have mechs.

Funny enough if Snyder was directing it he would probably try to stay close to the source material like Watchmen. Remember, WB originally wanted Watchmen to take place in modern day in a post-911 world.
