Good news, fans will only have to wait just three weeks between Part 1 and 2. Attack on Titan Part 1 will release on September 30th, with Part 2 arriving on October 20th.
Gen Fukunaga, CEO and President of FUNimation Entertainment expressed his excitement by saying,
Fan reaction to Attack on Titan was extremely positive at the world premiere and we’re pleased to be able to announce dates for the theatrical releases in September and October. Attack on Titan is a worldwide phenomenon and we are excited to bring the live action movies to not only fans of the manga and anime but also horror fans as well from across the U.S. and Canada.
Based on the popular manga series, Attack on Titan takes place in a world where the last of humanity live inside a series of connected cities, isolated by enormous walls. These walls exists to keep the Titans out, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans without reason. These Titans have reduced the world’s population to staggeringly low numbers.
The movie will focus on Eren Jaeger, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert. Their lives are changed forever when a ‘Colossal Titan’ breaches the wall protecting their town, leading to the death of Eren’s mother. Vowing revenge and to reclaim the world from the Titans, Eren, Mikasa and Armin join the Survey Corps, an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls.
