A Hero Stands Alone In The Face Of Death In The New Poster For ATTACK ON TITAN
Having picked up a lot of steam since then, director Higuchi Shinji‘s latest live-action endeavor, Attack On Titan is preparing to be one of the biggest movies of 2015, and quite possibly even bigger than Godzilla; News from from Japanese media suggests Higuchi’s live-action take on the gargantuan foes will tower at 120 meters (roughly 393 feet) tall – twice taller than those in the manga and 1/10th taller than the King of all monsters himself, incidentally adding more fuel to the debate among fans over who would beat who in a crossover film.
The sudden arrival of the Titans—mysterious, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour human beings one after the other—brings mankind to the brink of extinction. Fast-forward more than 100 years later. What remains of the human population now live in relative peace behind massive walls that were erected to defend themselves against the Titans. Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Titan measuring over 50 meters tall smashes through the wall, allowing a horde of other Titans to enter. The protagonist, Eren, had been resigned to a life confined behind these walls. Nothing I do would make a difference, he thought. But when he joins the “Outer Wall Restoration Team” set up to fight against the Titans, he is reunited with Mikasa, a childhood friend and someone he had long rued not being able to save. The new recruits embark on a mission to obtain explosives, which had become rare and precious, before getting past the waves of Titans to plug the gaping hole in the wall, with humanity’s survival on the line. Will there be a future for Eren and Mikasa, and for mankind itself?
Dragon Ball Z: Battle Of The Gods and Gatchaman scribe Watanabe Yuusuke, and Sato Yoshihiro are producing.
