First film screening round country, select venues double-billing both films

Animatsu has announced screenings of the first live-action Attack on Titan film around Britain on Tuesday December 1, with venue details, times and available here.

Animatsu said that 'select sites will be playing a double bill of both Attack on Titan movies.'

The cast includes seven characters that are new to the film versions of the story. Hasegawa's character Shikishima holds the key to the films' story as "humanity's strongest man."

Director Shinji Higuchi said that, with the supervision of Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama, the story is based on the world and characters of the manga, while incorporating new characters and new formidable enemies. Yuusuke Watanabe ( Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, live-action Gantz, Gantz II: Perfect Answer, 20th Century Boys, Gatchaman ) wrote the scripts. Film critic Tomohiro Machiyama, who is also friends with Isayama, worked on the scripts together with Isayama and Watanabe.

The band SEKAI NO OWARI contributed the first and second films' theme songs "Anti-Hero" and "SOS," respectively.
