Official Attack On Titan Trailer & Posters Released

Earlier today, film studio Toho has released the first trailer for it's upcoming Attack On Titan live action projects. In addition to the trailer, fans also get their first release dates of August 1st and September 19th in Japan.

Here's the narration translated (via ANN)

Narration: Over one hundred years ago... Half of humanity was eaten by the titans that suddenly appeared... The humanity that remained created a giant wall, and lived peacefully.
Text: Anticipated by the whole world!!
Text: Live-action film green-lit!
Mikasa: The world is cruel...
Eren: If we mess up, that's the end for humanity.
Title: Attack on Titan
Text: The attack begins on August 1!

In addition to the trailer, character posters can be seen below.

For those worried that Titan creator Hajime Isayama might not be involved, do not fear as the director, Shinji Higuchi, has stated the two are working very close. The story will be based in the world and have characters from the series, but will also include new ones as well.

The film will also be split into two parts in the same fashion as The Hunger Games or The Hobbit. This is not new for Isayama however with his original Manga having been the inspiration for a 25 episode television show (with the second launching sometime next year), and two animated feature films. 

So are you looking forward to the film? Let us know in the comments below!
