Classic Manga Attack On Titan To Get Live-Action Movie From "It" Director

Director Andy Muschietti scored one of the biggest horror hits of all time with his adaptation of Stephen King's classic novel It, and expectations are high for the sequel, which is due for release next year. It has now been reported that Muschietti has lined up his next movie after It: Chapter Two--an adaptation of classic manga Attack on Titan.

According to Variety, Muschietti will helm a live action Attack on Titan movie for Warner. The site states that the studio recently signed a deal with Kodansha, the Japanese publisher of the property, to make a Hollywood version. Muschietti's sister Barbara Muschietti, who produced both It movies and his 2013 horror hit Mama, will co-produce.

Attack on Titan was created by Hajime Isayama, and was first published in 2009. The series focuses on giant humanoid creatures called Titans who have wiped out much of humanity, and the struggle of what is left of mankind to survive together, hidden behind huge walls. The series has already been adapted in Japan, with an anime version premiering in 2013 and a two-part live action movie released in 2015. There was also a video game released in 2016.

This isn't the first Japanese property that Muschietti has been associated with. Last year, it was reported that he was in talks to direct an adaptation of the classic anime series Robotech. However, there has been no further news about this project since then.

It: Chapter Two hits theaters on September 6, 2019, and stars Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, James Ransone, and Bill Skarsgård. The movie wrapped production in September, and Muschietti shared a bloody behind-the-scenes image to mark the end of shooting.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been...
