Hollywood loves adaptations — whether it’s a book, a comic, or a video game, adaptations seem to have an easier time getting a green light. For one thing, adaptations come with a ready-made fandom (that usually translates to a movie audience) and pre-existing characters and concepts that usually have been proven to work. One of the most popular genres to plunder for the big screen right now is manga and anime (Japanese comics and animated series), with multiple anime adaptations hitting screens in 2017. Ghost in the Shell is due for release in March, Death Note will be appearing at an unknown date in 2017, and multiple other properties are reportedly in the works (including Bleach and Akira).
Now, Warner Bros. have announced they are negotiating for the rights to Attack On Titan, the hugely successful manga that has already spawned a franchise, and the studio already has a producer in mind.
As reported by Deadline, the studio is in the process of obtaining the feature rights, and that (should they succeed) the project would be produced by David Heyman. Heyman is known for his work on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Harry Potter films and Gravity, among others.





Attack on Titan is set in a post-apocalyptic world where surviving humans live behind high walls in an attempt to remain safe from the Titans — enormous, vicious monsters that eat humans. The series slowly reveals some truths about the Titans as the central characters battle for their survival. As well as the original manga, the series has been adapted into a series of novels, an anime (with a second season coming this year), video games, live-action films, and a TV series in Japan. Warner Bros.’ take on the series would be the first North American live-action adaptation, and would be the third anime adaptation in the works for the studio, in addition to the aforementioned Akira and Bleach.
This is big news for fans of the series, and suggests the anime-adaptation trend in movies could just be getting started. The incredible popularity of Attack on Titan makes it a fantastic choice for the studio, and Heyman’s experience with big franchises and fantasy worlds suggests he’ll be able to do this franchise justice. The studio may even decide to adapt the series into a larger franchise, rather than a single film, especially as the live-action version released in Japan was split over two movies. A successful adaptation could also pave the way for further live-action anime series and movies, or re-start the Akira project that has been languishing in development for several years now.
That slow-moving Akira project is also a potential cause for concern, however. Although Warner Bros. already has a producer in mind for Attack on Titan, no writer or director is attached (presumably because negotiations for the rights are on-going), and some fans may be concerned that Attack on Titan could suffer the same fate as Akira. There is also a concern with casting; Ghost in the Shell has been roundly criticized for whitewashing, and should the studio announce a predominantly white cast for Attack on Titan, it would likely draw similar ire. As of now, nothing is certain, and it is possible that the studio will not get the feature rights, so judgement can be reserved until more is known.
Screen Rant will have more information for you on the Attack on Titan adaptation as details are made available.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
