Following the world premiere of Part 1 of the Japanese live-action feature film “Attack on Titan” last month in Los Angeles, FUNimation Entertainment has announced the theatrical dates for the epic two-part movie.
“Attack on Titan” will be a limited theatrical event and will screen in both the U.S. and Canada. Part 1 of the film hits theaters beginning September 30 with Part 2 arriving in theaters beginning October 20.
The “Attack on Titan” (“Shingeki no Kyojin” in Japanese) movies, which take their name from the original manga series, were developed in close collaboration with series’ creator Hajime Isayama and tell the story of a world where the last of humanity fights to survive against almost unstoppable, man-eating giants.
With more than 50 million copies in print today, the “Attack on Titan” manga series has inspired four spin-offs as well as a 25-episode anime series, which FUNimation both simulcast and released to home video in North America.
As part of the announcement, FUNimation’s theatrical trailer for the movies has been released on the official movie website.
FUNimation Entertainment is the leading anime company in North America.
