Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time (Japanese: シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版𝄇 Hepburn: Shin Evangerion Gekijōban) is an upcoming Japanese animated science fiction film written and chief directed by Hideaki Anno and produced by Studio Khara. It is the fourth and final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy, based on the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Originally expected for release in 2015,[1] the film was indefinitely delayed due to Anno's involvement with the 2016 film Shin Godzilla.[2] Production resumed after the production of Shin Godzilla ended in late 2016.[3][4] The film will be scheduled for release on January 23, 2021,[5][6] after being delayed from a June 27, 2020 release date due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

Production

The film was announced alongside Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo as the final part of the Rebuild tetralogy under the working title Evangelion: Final. Following the troubled production of the third film, director and producer Hideaki Anno succumbed to depression and stated publicly in 2015 that he could not work on another film.[8] However, Toho (which will co-distribute the film in Japan with Toei) approached him in an offer to direct a reboot of its well-known Godzilla film series titled Shin Godzilla, which Anno blamed for delaying him on working on 3.0+1.0 despite its critical success.[9] After a formal apology, animation director Takeshi Honda stated that the last film had resumed development and work on it was currently underway.[10] The studio tweeted on April 5, 2017, that the film's development was going smoothly.[11]

In May 2018, the studio put out a job listing for animation staff to work on 3DCG, VFX, and 2D animation starting on June 30, 2018.[12]

Release

On July 6, 2019, Khara screened the first ten minutes of the film on Japan Expo in Paris, Anime Expo in Los Angeles and CCG Expo 2019 in Shanghai.[13]

In April 2020, it was announced that the film has been delayed due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic, later revealing a January 23, 2021 release date.[14][15] The theatrical release poster was revealed shortly afterwards with the tagline "Bye-bye, all of EVANGELION.", indicating that this would likely be Anno's final Evangelion-related project.[16] Anno released a statement via Studio Khara's Twitter in October apologizing for the delay while confirming the film was near completion. Khara suggested the run time of the finished film could be over two hours, with the "D-part" clocking in at 41 minutes. They also reported that as of October 2nd the film was undergoing a "rush check," a final check of the animation before editing.[17]
