Warner Bros’ are planning a western remake of the classic anime Attack on Titan.

According to Deadline, the studio is in talks for the live-action rights to Hajime Isayaba’s seminal franchise with the hope of remaking the two-part, live-action movie that was released in Japan in 2015.

This itself was a loose adaptation of the opening arcs of Isayama’s manga about the surviving remnants of the human race living in a walled-off enclave of cities and towns to protect themselves from giant, human-devouring humanoid beings called Titans.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them producer David Heyman is allegedly attached to the project, should the rights be secured

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer.

Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
