'Attack on Titan' Release News Latest: Does Sony Have Plans for the Story?
Recent "Attack on Titan" news indicated that entertainment giant Sony Pictures might be up for something for the hit animation property.
Although the details aren't quite definitive, GameNGuide wrote in their article that "it looks as though they may be planning an Attack on Titan movie for the future" as what these eight web domains have suggested.
Anime News Network reported the domain names, which include variations of the mentioned title:
- attackonthetitan-movie.com
- attackonthetitan-movie.net
- attackonthetitan.com
- attackonthetitan.net
- attackonthetitanmovie.com
- attackonthetitanmovie.net
- attackonthetitanthemovie.com
- attackonthetitanthemovie.net
The publication went on to explain that just like "Ghost in the Shell," Sony "may be looking to expand their network into adapting anime for the big screen" and these websites are just the few of the tell-tale signs.
Currently, all eight URLS would redirect to Sony Picture's main website.
Debuting in 2009, the hit post-apocalyptic animation fantasy tells the story of a world plagued with remorseless, man-eating giants (called Titans), who have almost wiped off entire humanity if not for the huge walls which the remaining people were able to build.
The story centers on characters Eren Yeager who, with adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and childhood friend Armin Alert, joined a military force specializing in killing the Titans.
The franchise was originally based in the manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama. It was later adapted to a television anime series by Wit Studio and Production I.G and was aired in Japan in 2013.
A live-action adaptation, consisting of two films, is set to premiere in Japanese theaters this summer.
