Teaser Trailer for Live-Action ATTACK ON TITAN!
Yesterday we brought you a video featuring some clips from the upcoming live-action Attack on Titan film. That gave us out first look at was was in store for us. Today we have a 30-second teaser trailer for you to watch! It contains some of the same footage from the video yesterday, and it looks like it's going to be an entertaining film.
This is the teaser for the first of two Attack on Titan movies. They were directed by Shinji Higuchi, and Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama consulted on the film. He helped create some new characters and enemies for the story that will stay true to the source material. The script for the film comes from Yuusuke Watanabe (Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods).
The story of Attack on Titan 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 3 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 thee 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. Haruma Miura plays Eren. Kiko Mizuhara is Mikasa. Kanata Hongo will play Armin. Satomi Ishihara portrays Hanji. Nanami Sakuraba is Sasha. Takahiro Miura is Jean.
The first film will be released August 1st, and the second will hit theaters a month later on September 19th in Japan. I'm sure it will eventually make its way to the states. Below the teaser I also provided a translation of what is said in the the trailer.
