For anime fans, this year's hottest title is undoubtedly Attack on Titan, which has sold more than 25 million copies of the manga and launched its first season of animation in April this year. Now, the "two-dimensional" world created by Isayama will continue to move forward and "attack" - recently, the preparations for the live-action film of "Attack on Titan" were officially launched, and it is expected to start next year, and the director has also been replaced by the previous Tetsuya Nakajima to Shinji Higuchi, the director of topics such as "Puppet City".

Although some fans cheered the news, however, in view of the fact that many well-known works have become "miserable" after being "live-action" by Japanese producers, the live-action version of "Attack on Titan" this time did not make netizens "happy", and some people even wailed: "Ruined a classic again? This is the rhythm of cutting the back of the neck!"

The director confirmed that it will start shooting next year

The live-action film "Attack on Titan" is scheduled to start shooting in the summer of 2014, with the goal of releasing in 2015. In fact, the plan to make "Attack on Titan" into a movie was rumored as early as December 2011, but due to various reasons, the plan was put on hold for a while. HOWEVER, SINCE WIT STUDIO, A NEW ANIMATION COMPANY FUNDED BY I.G, CREATED AN ANIMATED VERSION OF ATTACK ON TITAN, THE FILM PROJECT HAS RETURNED TO THE ATTENTION OF INVESTORS DUE TO ITS EXPLOSIVE POPULARITY.

After a two-year hiatus, the production project was relaunched, and the entire team was completely renewed, with the script co-written by Yusuke Watanabe, who previously produced the drama "BLOODY MONDAY" and the "GANTZ" series, and film critic Tomohiro Machiyama. The production team also brought in the original author, Sou Isayama, who would personally provide input on the film's script.

As for the new director Shinji Higuchi, he is also generally optimistic about netizens. Higuchi has produced "Titan Soldier Appears in Tokyo Theater", "Puppet City" and served as the stunt director of the "GAMERA" trilogy - he is a good performer when it comes to special effects films. He was also involved in the production of the animated film Neon Genesis Evangelion series. Based on the above conditions, many netizens are still looking forward to the film.

Giant special effects, expensive

"Attack on Titan" constructs a futuristic world where humans fight against giants, filled with despair and death. Giants, three-dimensional mobile devices, and 50-meter huge city walls, how to reproduce these elements in live-action movies, and how to present shocking battle scenes, are all problems in live-action movies, and they are also the places that fans are most concerned about.

Recently, some netizens edited clips from a series of Hollywood blockbusters into a "Pseudo Attack on Titan Trailer". In this "trailer", the giants eat people, the giants attack the city, many people besiege a giant, and humans use three-dimensional mobile devices to escape are all covered, which can be described as "god editing". If the movie version of "Attack" can achieve this effect, it is expected to cost a lot of money.

In fact, this question was raised as early as 2011 when director Tetsuya Nakajima took over the adaptation of "Attack on Titan". He claims to make the film "the biggest production in the history of Japanese cinema": "Everything about Attack on Titan will be different compared to all the previous works. This is the first time for me to have such a high-cost big-budget movie. ”

How some of the specific details of the film are presented has given him a headache. For example, should the part of the giant preying on humans be realistically depicted, or should CG technology or special effects be used to interpret it? Perhaps because it was too difficult, Tetsuya Nakajima eventually withdrew from the production of the film and was taken over by Shinji Higuchi.

The biggest suspense: who should play it?

Commander, please be sure to "one meter six"!

Although the cast of "Attack on Titan" has not yet been announced, netizens can't wait to vote for the best candidate in their hearts. However, it is not easy to find "tsundere soldiers with a length of one meter six" and "domineering Mikasa big abdominal muscles" in real life.

Mikasa, who takes the same cold route as the soldier and is skilled, is the most controversial in terms of candidates.

The word "real person" has ruined how many anime

"When I hear 'real people', I feel bad about my whole being!" "For many die-hard anime fans, live-action is a nightmare. There has been a long history of adaptations of comics into live-action films, with many works such as "Boys Over Flowers", "Symphonic Lover's Dream", "Death Note" and "Detective Conan", but few are recognized by fans.

Many comic book fans said that when watching a live-action movie adapted from a comic, the actors did not conform to the temperament of the original characters, and the character settings also ruined the character image. Many of the fight scenes, exaggerated movements, and funny expressions in the original book are impossible to make in reality, and because of the time limit, the live-action movie has also deleted a lot of the original details. Some netizens bluntly said that mechanical and fighting comics are the most difficult to restore on the big screen, especially "Attack on Titan".

Destroyed precedent

"The Prince of Tennis": The handsome men in the "Prince of Tennis" comics are one after another, and the movie version also took the opportunity to promote beautiful boys, such as Sota Hongo, Yu Shirota and Hiroki Aiba. However, the clumsy computer stunts ruined all the beautiful young tennis players into "magic sticks", which made netizens very dissatisfied.

"Detective Conan": Shun Oguri, who is popular among thousands of girls, plays Shinichi Kudo. But netizens think that his interpretation is dull: "Conan is fake myopia, you are really myopia!" What makes people even more speechless is that Kurokawa Zhihua, who plays Xiaolan, is not tall, has no baby fat, and the character's personality is not as tough as the original book, too weak and sticky, which attracted netizens to complain: "Where is Xiaolan, it is clearly a resentful woman!"
