Anime News Service reports that the October issue of Newtype in Japan confirms a new movie series for Neon Genesis Evangelion. There will be four films in total, with the first being released in the summer of 2007.

The series is meant to be a fresh remake, rather than simply a re-creation of the original. The content will be significantly changed, and it will be made more accessible to the average viewer. The goal is that the movies will be enjoyable to all viewers, whether or not they are familiar with the original series.
