Recently there has been a lot of news about the adaptation of animation works into live-action movies. Today, there is another heavy news: Kodansha officially announced that "Attack on Titan" will soon be adapted from Hollywood into a live-action movie. , I read the comments of some netizens. On the one hand, I look forward to the performance of the works after the Hollywood special effects blessings. On the other hand, I also worry about whether all kinds of blind changes will ruin the original work. Other follow-up news about the live-action movie has not been made public yet, and we can only wait and see.
Regarding the original comic and animated version of Attack on Titan, I believe there is no need to repeat anything. For the live-action version, Japan itself shot a two-part live-action movie in 2015, with Haruma Miura, Kiko Miura, and others as the main actors. However, personally, there are indeed many gaps in special effects. In contrast, Hollywood's special effects technology is in the first-class category in the world, so it is very worth looking forward to when the time comes. In 2017, there were rumors that Warner Inc. was going to make a live-action movie of this work, but then there was no sound. This time the news was released directly by Kodansha, and it is definitely not true.
However, the choice of actors and the content of the story are really worrying. There were also many live-action manga cases in Hollywood before—such as "Death Note", but the characters in it were all changed according to the preferences of European and American screenwriters, and the plot was changed more or less. The situation, in the eyes of the original fans, is undoubtedly unacceptable.
