In September 2006, the October edition of the Japanese anime magazine Newtype first reported that the new cinema series "Rebuild of Evangelion" would be released in the summer of 2007. [1] On September 9, 2006, GAINAX's official website confirmed that "Rebuild of Evangelion" will consist of four movies. The first three movies will be an alternate retelling of the TV series (including many new scenes, settings, backgrounds, characters), and the fourth movie will be a completely new conclusion to the story; the series is intended to be accessible to non-fans[2]

It's only been a little over a decade and they're already remaking Evangelion... Although since it has the same director/writer as the original, and considering how the original ended I suppose this might also be a sequel. It will be interesting to see if they make Eva more coherent or less.
