CATDOLL: Kodansha says Hollywood remake of Attack on Titan movie reports are wrong, multiple live-action versions are being negotiated

Yesterday (January 18), the US media Deadline reported that Warner Bros. Pictures was in talks to purchase the rights to the live-action film of Attack on Titan, and that David Heyman, the producer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, was expected to be the main person in charge of the project. However, Kodansha officials soon publicly stated that the report was wrong. The head of Kodansha's advertising department said: "Deadline's report is wrong. There are many works under negotiation, but we are not in a position to disclose the works under negotiation."

Although the person in charge said that the reports that "Attack on Titan" will be filmed in an American live-action movie were incorrect, he did not deny the filming of the live-action version. Moreover, according to the information he revealed, Hollywood is indeed negotiating with Kodansha for the copyright of the live-action versions of its works, and many works are under negotiation. It seems that there will be many "surprising" live-action works in the coming period, so everyone should be prepared.
