Attack on Titan has already spawned two films overseas, so it’s no surprise that somebody here would want to get their claws into the giant-size franchise! Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. is negotiating to get the feature rights for the Japanese manga IP, which was written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama and has been churned out for both TV and films in Japan. The project is for its Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them producer David Heyman.
The story follows humans living behind a wall through generations to keep themselves safe from the alien Titans. However, curious as to what is beyond the wall, they form a scouting mission. It is not long before they find themselves battling the Titans as they try to save humanity once again.
The feature would be a remake of the Japanese film that was done in two parts. In 2015, Part 1 ended up as the seventh-highest-grossing locally produced film. Part II did not do as well.
Who knows how it will perform here? As always we hope for the best.
