The first ever footage of the 'Attack on Titan' live-action film was released recently to whet the appetite of fans who have been keenly waiting for new details regarding the movie version of the popular manga series.

According to Christian Today, though the footage of the film, which was aired during a Japanese program, was in Japanese, it did not dampen the spirits of the fans across the globe. Thanks to Anime News Network, now an English translation of the footage is also available for fans outside Japan.

The excited fans have claimed that going by the trailer, the movie, based on the manga series "Shingeki no Kyojin" created by Hajime Isayama, is certain to be a major hit.

According to the report, the narration in the recently released 'Attack on Titan' live-action film footage is as follows: "Over one hundred years ago... Half of humanity was eaten by the titans that suddenly appeared... The humanity that remained created a giant wall, and lived peacefully."

A short recap of the dialogue and content in the trailer is posted below:

Apart from the footage, the producers also released posters of the upcoming film displaying characters in heroic stance and valiant expressions with a view to enhance the excitement of the fans.

Latest reports said that though Hajime Isayama is not involved with the film's production, director Shinji Higuchi is working with the manga creator with a view to make certain that the movie adaptation of the manga does justice to the hit manga series.

Meanwhile, the 'Attack on Titan' live-action movie will be split into two films, and both will display the disorganized Titan-plagued world of Eren, Mikasa and new characters. As in the manga, the upcoming movie is also expected to follow the inexhaustible battle between mankind, who are forced behind a wall for self-preservation, and the flesh-eating giants swarming the world outside the wall.

While the first part of the movie will release in Japan on Aug. 1, the second one will hit theaters on Sept. 19.
