Full Live-Action ATTACK ON TITAN Teaser Trailer, Film To Be Released Aug. 1

Graphics could use some work, final titan at the end looked 'ok' but everything else had a 'CGI' feel to it. Especially the 'comets'?

still not feeling the "mellow yellow" casting,i know its a Japanese production and all,but from all the animes\manga products outside today AOT was one with most possibilities to work well being made in the west,since the story is passed in a distopian version of Europe and all the characters except one are Europeans.

well its not looking bad so why not?

I guess I would prefer a western (but faithful) take on the source material. This certainly isn't Akira that would be shameful and missing the point to be white washed but I feel like AOT would benefit from the $$$ of Hollywood.

Is that a worldwide or Japanese or British release date? Cause last I remember America gets Japanee films long later and vice-versa

My guess is they do this, try and get some cash out of it, then they sell the rights to Hollywood. Though I still think it is an extremely hard franchise for Hollywood to produce and sell without it having an R rating, people being eaten by giants and all.

Completely different from the source, not interested

"Duh this isn't a big budget Hollywood produce movie that uses the best visual effects studios."

No need to be condesending. I'm not asking for the CGI to be better than films like Avatar, i am simply asking them to have higher quality CGI than the Asylum :L

I know the normal CGI level for live action adaptions, and they have a quality that is better than this. Considering the titans are mostly practical effects, its also even more evident when the CGI is terrible. Especially when its for a incredibly easy to do 'comet' scene.

Parasyte the Maxim and Assassination classroom both have better CGI in their live action adaptations despite having a much smaller fanbase, as such its depressing to see a much more popular series have terrible CGI.

In a world... where only Asians exist

really reserving judgment on this one. On one hand, it could be like The Rurouni Kenshin movies, with only minor adjustments here and there, but an overall accurate portrayal of the manga/anime while staying rooted in "reality" a la The Dark Knight movies.

OR

It could go the way of Donnie Yen's Monkey King. A good character piece, but the action scenes were oh so susupect.

All that hype and publicity and talk of how much money they spent on CGI and the efx shots still looked extremely bush-league - laughably so.

Judging based solely on the few character "emotion" shots in the teaser AoT looks solid. Colossal Titan looks dope, but again, that might be just the one "good" shot in a barrel of monkey poo - similar to Monkey King and the assault on Heaven (the one good bit of CGI is when he clones himself for the initial charge on Heaven's gates).

Have my fingers crossed for this, but I wouldn't be surprised if I got let down a bit. Rurouni Kenshin set the bar, now its up to AoT to see if it can reach it - which, given AoT's inherent need for heavy efx, and the propensity of these Asian franchises to be either unwilling or unable to spend insane amounts of cash for companies like Weta Dig - seems like a lot.

They used a giant puppet to make the Colossal Titan! That's pretty sweet

Practical effects FTW!

Yeah not entirely impressed. Looks "okay", and for something based off one of the biggest hits in Japan AND North America in a while it should look much better than "okay".

Also, let's see if people bitch and moan about changing a cast of 99.9% German/European characters to Japanese. I bet we won't. Too busy complaining about it when it's the other way around.

@Dev7

I personally think Japan does crappy anime adaptations also. They made more crap than the U.S.

If Hollywood was to take it serious and attach talent to a anime project, I'm pretty sure it could be good.

My dream would be a collaboration of the two. That would be awesome.

Other than the sh*tstain DBZ movie, what other ones did the U.S mess up? Serious question.

can't wait, the anime is great, manga is awesome, movie will hopefully kick ass

@Dev7

I hit post comment like crazy because it wasn't posting. I didn't know it would go through, lol.

This site is buggy for me sometimes.

Wow! a lot of haters. The Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy is one of the best manga/anime/CBM movies out, I'm glad they didn't fall to the white washing. Hopefully AoT will do well so we can get more of these none white washed movies.

@HachibiTheMC
Are you talking about Forbidden Kingdom? That Movie was the shit, the Yen and Chan fight scene was epic. Don't forget who have the best fight choreography, Hollywood has yet to show action as the Asian studios.
