Fans do not want to miss this opportunity.” The ATTACK ON TITAN live action movies are based on the popular manga series of the same name, which tells the story of a world where most of humanity has been destroyed by giants and where the last of mankind fights to survive behind three concentric walls -- walls that were once impenetrable to the giants.

This movie will not disappoint.” As part of the ticket sales launch, the new version of the official movie website will go live that includes a theater locator, additional movie info and cast posters, the theatrical trailers as well as extras including photo galleries from the movie, the world premiere in July and fan fun.
