There is a live action, but I was joking in this. Because Pacific Rim is a Evangelion movie made by holywood if you really look at it.

I thought you might be joking. Mostly. But my total ignorance to Evangelion precluded a gut intuition. I had my "feelers" out on my reply. :) Hey! Pacific Rim was awesome! 

I liked Pacific Rim, but Evangelion is like 10x better and Pacific Rim is mostly based on it (like some american movies are based on japanese ones and people don't even know)

The problem, as near as I can tell, is that Kojima is that stereotypical artist that doesn't give a shit about the business side of his art. Konami exists to make money. They make great games only as a way to achieve that end. They have a legal and moral responsibility to take care of their shareholders. They don't have any obligation to let an artist burn through unlimited cash to achieve his vision.

Yes, the business side is responsible to keep restrains, but some may end up limiting the revenue... if a guy have proven record to have fantastic project, that are expensive but get good margins the company needs to be aware of how to control the costs the right way without creating additional problems.
