quietearth [Celluloid 12.15.14] post apocalyptic scifi horror action thriller steampunk adventure dystopic



In what is sure to be one of the most financially successful films live action - let alone post-apocalyptic films - ever in Japan, Shinji Higuchi's live action adaption of the meg-popular anime, Attack on Titan, comes alive in the film's first character posters. Guys, this movie looks like it's going to be a ton of fun.


QE pal and author, Craig DiLouie, recently praised the original show in a review on these pages, so check that out too.



Synopsis:
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?


We'll keep you posted on footage, which we shouldn't have to wait too long for considering the film is due out in 2015. But for now, here are some inciting images.
