Andy Muschietti, the Argentinian filmmaker behind ‘Mama’ and the box office breaking ‘IT,’ has signed on to direct Hollywood’s big-budget live-action adaptation of Hajime Isayama’s hugely popular manga series ‘Attack on Titan,’ according to Variety.
One of the best-selling manga series with over 76 million copies in print since debuting in 2009, ‘Attack On Titan’ is set in a world in which humanity lives in cities surrounded by enormous walls protecting themselves from gigantic humanoids that are referred to as titans.
Actor-turned-produce Masi Oka (‘Death Note,’ ‘Mega Man”), David Heyman (‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Fantastic Beasts’) and Barbara Muschietti (‘It,’ ‘Mama’) are on board to produce.
