Character Posters for the "Live Action" adaptation of anime & manga sensation Attack On Titan has been revealed, with a whopping 11 characters casted, including story principals "Eren" and "Mikasa".

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

On the cast selection, producer Yoshihiro Sato said he did not pay as much attention to whether or not the cast members looked like the original characters. Instead, he had many discussions with Attack on Titan manga creator Hajime Isayama and went with actors who could act out the "characters' spirits."" -reported Anime News Network

I had wondered how the adaptation would, in terms of the humanoid characters mores than the Titans (Check out the Subaru TVC poted at bottom of this post!), and the "dreary grittiness" seen on their uniforms here put a smile on my face haha!

ATTACK ON TITAN will be presented in 2 films, directed by Shinji Higuchi, with supervision by Hajime Isayama - it is mentioned that "the story will be based on the world and characters of the manga, while incorporating new characters and new formidable enemies."
