It's reported Warner Bros. is currently negotiating to get the feature film rights for the popular Japanese manga, Attack on Titan.
Deadline reports Fantastic Beasts producer David Heyman is behind the project at WB.
It's noted the Warner Bros. Attack On Titan movie would be a remake of the recent Japanese Attack On Titan movies that were done in two parts.
Attack On Titan centers around a group of young people who survive the destruction of their walled city district by enormous, man-eating Titans and eventually go on to protect humanity from this overpowering foe.
Attack On Titan is hugely popular not only in Japan but worldwide and has spawned TV series, comics, movies and video games.
Here is the descriptions for the Japanese two-part Attack On Titan movies that WB is basing their film on, and you can watch a clip below:
Attack On Titan Part 1
Japan, present day. The sudden arrival of the Titans - mysterious, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour human beings one after the other - brings mankind to the brink of extinction.
Fast-forward 100 years. What remains of the human population now survives in relative peace behind massive walls erected in defense against the Titans. Yet once again, that peace is shattered when a Colossal Titan, measuring over 50 meters tall, smashes through the wall and allows a horde of other Titans to enter.
Eren Yeager had resigned himself to a life confined behind these walls. "Nothing I do would make a difference", he thought. But when he joins the 'Outer Wall Restoration Team' set up to fight against the Titans, he is reunited with Mikasa, a childhood friend and someone he had long rued not being able to save. The new recruits embark on a mission to plug the gaping hole in the wall and stop the waves of titans once and for all. With humanity's survival on the line, will there be a future for Eren and Mikasa, and for mankind itself?
Attack On Titan Part 2:
Eren and the others set out on a mission to restore the Wall that had been destroyed by a colossal Titan, but they're suddenly faced with a quagmire when they're attacked by a horde of Titans. Shikishima, the Titan-slaying captain of the Scout Regiment, arrives to save the day, but the Titans show no sign of letting up. During the battle, Eren is badly injured, and in the process of saving his friend Armin, he's swallowed whole by a Titan. Just as all hope seems to be lost, a mysterious Titan with black hair suddenly appears and begins annihilating the other Titans.
If this mission fails, it will spell the end of humanity. Why did the Titans appear? Why do people continue to fight? The last counterattack to save human civilization is about to begin.
2017 will see not just one Resident Evil film but two! One of these Resident Evil films will be of the animated format and goes under the name of Resident Evil: Vendetta.
Just to clarify, this is not a Resident Evil 7 CG movie, it is just a Resident Evil CG movie.
Resident Evil: Vendetta is being made by Marza Animation Planet, a studio known for high-quality CGI animation and CGI films, and it's being overseen by, Capcom supervisor Hiroyuki Kobayashi. The film itself features Leon S Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers, and everyone's favorite Chris Redfield as they fight against bioweapons terrorist and black marketer Glenn Arias.
If the trailer is anything to go by then this will be one good looking action packed experience with an epic battle against bioterrorism and time in the city of New York.
Resident Evil: Vendetta is set for release May 27, in Japan at least, it remains to be seen if Europe and North America will see the same release date.
The official website for the new Kuroko’s Basketball anime film will adapt the Kuroko no Basuke Extra Game manga revealed visuals on Monday for the upcoming film. The visuals feature Kuroko, Akashi, Midorima, and Murasakibara wearing the uniforms of Vorpal Swords. The site also revealed that the film will open in spring 2017.
Benedict Cumberbatch will make his first appearance as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in November’s Doctor Strange, but Doctor Strange’s appointment book already seems to be filling up.
Rumors have already been circulating suggesting that Doctor Strange will make an appearance in Thor: Ragnarok. That would be Doctor Strange’s first Marvel Cinematic Universe crossover appearance. Cumberbatch seemingly just confirmed his second.
Speaking Empire Magazine about Doctor Strange’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cumberbatch noted the “logistical challenge of aligning his schedule with those of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany”.
Downey, Evans, Olsen, and Bettany are, of course, the actors who respectively play Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Vision of the Avengers. The next film on Marvel’s schedule that it would make sense for all four of those characters to appear in Avengers: Infinity War.
“To get us all together will be quite something,” Cumberbatch continued. “That’s why this character is being introduced, to open up the next chapter. So watch this space to see how that unfolds.”
It isn’t surprising for Doctor Strange to show up in Avengers: Infinity Stone. Doctor Strange’s Eye of Agamotto is one of the Infinity Stones that Thanos has been questing after. If Avengers: Infinity War is supposed to be the film that begins bringing that story to its climax, then it makes sense for Doctor Strange to find himself caught up in it.
From Marvel comes Doctor Strange, the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place – a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange – armed with newly acquired magical powers – is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.
Doctor Strange is directed by Scott Derrickson, from a screenplay he wrote with C. Robert Cargill. Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg, Benjamin Bratt, Scott Adkins, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton.
Doctor Strange opens in theaters in North America on Nov. 4, 2016.
