With the debut of the first feature film a couple of days ago, and in preparation for ticket presales for the second film, the first theatrical poster has arrived for the second installment of the Attack on Titan compilation films. In an effort to make the property more accessible in a way to mainstream audiences who don’t want to commit to a twenty-five episode series, they’re producing two feature length compilation movies. The second is scheduled for June 27th, 2015 and a new TV series is due out in 2016. The first film is titled Attack on Titan Part I: Crimson Bow and Arrow while the second one will be Attack on Titan Part II: Wings of Freedom. Astute fans will note that these are the names of the opening songs of the series.
The plan is to bring the same cast back in to voice the two features which will be getting a theatrical sound design to it, meaning a 5.1 mix, which will definitely give it a lot more impact.
FUNimation has picked up the TV series for US distribution while Manga Entertainment UK has the UK rights and Madman Entertainment has the Australian rights.
Check out the second film’s poster below and revisit the first film’s poster as well.
Property concept: Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by titans. Titans are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans.
Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air. As the smaller titans flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single titan and take revenge for all of mankind.
