ATTACK ON TITAN Films Get U.S. Release Dates!
Not long ago, we posted the most badass trailer yet for the latest adaptation of Attack on Titan. It blew fans away, and I'm excited to report that the two live-action Attack on Titan movies that have been made now have release U.S. dates!
FUNimation Entertainment has announced that Attack on Titan Part 1 will be released on September 30th and Part 2 will hit theaters less than a month later on October 20th! How freakin' cool is that! I love that we won't have to wait forever to see the second part.
Gen Fukunaga, CEO and President of FUNimation Entertainment, had this to say in a statement:
“Fan reaction to Attack on Titan was extremely positive at the world premiere and we’re pleased to be able to announce dates for the theatrical releases in September and October. Attack on Titan is a worldwide phenomenon and we are excited to bring the live action movies to not only fans of the manga and anime but also horror fans as well from across the U.S. and Canada.”
The movie turned out looking a lot better than what fans were expecting when it was first announced. I'm so excited to see these films and it's great to know that they are coming to America soon!
Here's the synopsis:
Based on the popular manga series of the same name, takes place in a world where the remnants of humanity live inside a series of connected cities, isolated by enormous walls. These walls exists to keep the Titans out, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason. These Titans have reduced the world’s population to staggeringly low numbers. The three main protagonists of Isayama’s manga are Eren Jaeger, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert. Their lives are changed forever when a ‘Colossal Titan’ breaches the wall protecting their town, leading to the death of Eren’s mother. Vowing revenge and to reclaim the world from the Titans, Eren, Mikasa and Armin join the Survey Corps, an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls.
