Anyway, here we go: Tom McLoughlin Tom McLoughlin, b. 1950, is an American screenwriter and director of film and television. He is most well known for writing and directing Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. McLoughlin's inclusion of wry humor and nods to various Universal Studios and Hammer Studios horror films led to the film being one of the most popular installments of the Friday the 13th (movie) series, as well as the film receiving reviews more positive than most films in the series. Hideaki Anno Hideaki Anno born 22 May 1960 in Ube, Japan, is a Japanese animation and video director. Having a distinctively vivid and precise visual style, Anno is best known for his work on the influential anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anno began his career as an animator for the anime series The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982–1983), but wasn't a recognized talent until the release of his work on Hayao Miyazaki's 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Running short on animators, the film's production studio posted an ad in the famous Japanese animation magazine Animage, announcing that they were in desperate need of more animators. Anno, in his early twenties at the time, read the ad and headed down to the film's studio, where he met with Miyazaki and showed him some of his drawings. Impressed with Anno's work, Miyazaki hired him to draw some of the most complicated scenes near the end of the movie. Miyazaki and his crew were very happy with Anno's final product, and he went on to become one of the co-founders of Gainax. He worked as an animation director for their first feature-length film, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise (1987), and ultimately became Gainax's premiere anime director, helming the majority of the studio's projects such as Gunbuster (1988) and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water (1990–1991). However, Anno fell into a four-year depression following Nadia—the series was handed down to him from NHK as a partial remake of Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky, and he was given very little creative control. Anno's next project was the anime TV series Shin Seiki Evangelion which has ultimately gone on to be one of the most influential anime works ever, championing a return to traditional anime drawing styles and themes and taking them to new heights of precision and depth. After Evangelion, Anno directed a significant portion of the 1998 anime series Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. The director has also made forays into live-action films, beginning with Love & Pop (1998), a cinéma vérité-style film about enjo kosai ("compensated dating", a form of teenage prostitution) in Japan, of which a major portion was shot on miniature digital cameras with constantly shifting aspect ratios. His second live-action film, Shiki-Jitsu (2000) (translated "Ritual Day" or "Ceremonial Day"), is the story of a burnt-out former anime director (played by popular indie director Shunji Iwai) who falls in love with a woman disconnected from reality. Anno's third live-action film, released in the summer of 2004, was a tokusatsu adaptation of the comic book Cutie Honey. A stark contrast to his earlier more realist live-action works, Cutie Honey is a lighthearted fantasy/superhero movie. Later in 2004, Anno supervised but did not direct the three-part OVA, Re: Cutie Honey. The directors are actually Hiroyuki Imaishi (part one), Takamichi Ito (part two), and Masayuki (part three). On September 9, 2006, GAINAX's official website confirmed that four new Evangelion movies are in the works. 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. Hideaki Anno will write the scenario for the first movie and will be the general director and manager for the entire project.
