Recently the first trailer for the live action adaptation of Attack On Titan hit the internet. Needless to say the internet responded by exploding in a frenzy of excited buzz. Perhaps buzz is too small a word to describe the colossal reaction from the collective of fans, a better phrase may be; a shrill enthusiastic screech of gargantuan proportions.

For the name Attack On Titan to have never entered your ear holes you would have to have been living under a rock. Even none Anime fans have heard the name due to the popularity the TV show has received in its first season. Casual viewers of Anime who have only ever seen the odd show love Attack On Titan as well as some of the really dedicated Anime fans who have a lot of experience with the art form. Personally I haven’t seen all that much Anime although I have seen the odd show and I do have a passing interest. As someone who has seen a small amount of Anime and being a big fan of western animation it was only a matter of time before I was made aware of Attack On Titan.

Attack On Titan wallsAlthough I am not a huge fan of all Anime this show really grabbed my attention, there is something about the voice acting that is very dramatic, the animation is great and the storyline is just genius. With its twists, turns and unanswered questions. There is so much in this show to speculate on, it certainly keeps you waiting, the basic premise of the show itself is a big question mark, there is something about the various elements of the story that make you think there is something bigger at work here.

From this trailer you get that feeling of importance when you see the vast walls, the only things dividing the last vestiges of humanity from the horrors outside. These horrors are the Titans, gigantic monsters with the sole purpose of hunting and killing humans. But what is so frightening about these things is that they look eerily like humans, however they often have odd glazed over eyes and wear a horrifying smile. It is very gruesome and frightening in places, expect a lot of blood in this one as well as a lot of destruction and the terror of humanity being picked off by a seemingly unstoppable force.

Shingeki-no-KyojinThere is a brief glimpse of the kind of destruction we can expect in Attack On Titan as well as an incredible shot of the Colossal Titan which the largest variation, we see him at the end of this trailer. He is huge and can be seen casting a vast hand down onto humanity. “On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. We lived in fear of the Titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we call walls.”

Director Louis Leterrier Creating New Sci-Fi Horror Film “11817”

Published

on

Louis Leterrier

According to an article from Deadline, Louis Leterrier (The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance) is about to shake things up with his new Sci-Fi horror film 11817. Leterrier is set to produce and direct the new Movie. 11817 is penned by the glorious Mathew Robinson (The Invention of Lying).

Rocket Science will be taking the film to Cannes in search of a buyer. While we don’t know much about what the film looks like, Deadline offers the following plot synopsis.

“The film watches as inexplicable forces trap a family of four inside their house indefinitely. As both modern luxuries and life or death essentials begin to run out, the family must learn how to be resourceful to survive and outsmart who — or what — is keeping them trapped…”

“Directing projects where the audience gets behind the characters has always been my focus. However complex, flawed, heroic, we identify with them as we live through their journey,” said Leterrier. “It’s what excites me about 11817‘s wholly original concept and the family at the heart of our story. This is an experience that movie audiences won’t forget.”

Leterrier has made a name for himself in the past for working on beloved franchises. His portfolio includes gems such as Now You See Me, The Incredible Hulk, Clash of The Titans, and The Transporter. He is currently attached to create the final Fast and the Furious film. However, it will be interesting to see what Leterrier can do working with some darker subject material.

That’s all the information we have for you at this time. As always, make sure to check back here for more news and updates.
