It looks like IT director Andy Muschietti is going to literally go BIG after IT 2 hits cinemas next September as he has Andy Muschietti signed on to direct the live-action version of Attack On Titan.
And yes, we know there was a two part live-action movie released in Japan but we’ve heard very bad things.
Attack on Titan is a crazy popluar – and rather brilliant – manga series that has been massive as an animated show and the original comic from creator and artist Hajime Isayama and publishing company Kodansha who Warner Bros have just signed a deal with.
The story centres on a world overrun with giants who love nothign more than eating humans and the humans who live in massive walled cities to try to stay out of their clutches.
If done properly, this could be massive, Muschietti did fairly solid – not perfect but certainly solid – with Stephen King’s epic IT part one, so we’re certianly not pessimistic about it.
David Heyman (“Harry Potter,” “Fantastic Beasts”) is producing the film with Masi Oka (“Mega Man”) and Andy’s sister Barbara Muschietti (“It” and “Mama”).
