Premise

"The story follows humans living behind a wall through generations to keep themselves safe from the Titans. However, curious as to what is beyond the wall, they form a scouting mission. It is not long before they find themselves battling the Titans as they try to save humanity once again."^[1]

Production

In January 2017, Warner Bros. Pictures was reported to be negotiating a deal to acquire the film rights for producer David Heyman.^[1] However Kodansha, who own the rights, quickly denied the report the same month.^[2] In October 2018, Warner Bros. eventually closed a deal, announcing Andy Muschietti as director, with Masi Oka and Barbara Muschietti joining Heyman as producers.^[3] Muschietti, having seen the anime in addition to reading the manga, stated that the draw for him to direct was the human drama of the characters, calling it “fascinating”.^[4]
