Terrifying Titans Devours Each other in “Attack on Titan: End of the World”
Reeling from the success of the first “Attack on
Titan” that devoured Japan’s box-office when it opened number one that earned
more than five million dollars on its opening week comes the second part
“Attack on Titan: End of the World” that is poised to outperform its
predecessor at the box-office worldwide.
Struggling
and fighting united against the Titans, Eren after being devoured by a Titan
mysteriously came back to life taking on after the Titan’s form and strength.
Surprisingly, Eren after being turned into a Titan started to attack the Titan
towards the end of the film, leaving the rest in awe that they finally found an
ally against the towering monsters.
However, not everybody is convinced that Eren is humanity’s last hope against
the Titans since a few still doubt where his loyalty lies between man and
Titans.
“Attack
on Titan: End of the World” takes us back to futuristic and apocalyptic Japan
where humans are now repairing the holes in the wall that the Titans have
destroyed. Along with Eren, mankind’s
last counterattack begins as the gigantic humanoids continue to devour people. Haruma
Miura, who plays Eren, the film’s lead star seriously prepared for the role, “We
don't use any stunt men in the film. As for the training, there was a lot of
muscle that I had to build, but not for aesthetic reasons. It was all for the
wire action because of course that is the highlight of the film. So there was a
lot of training of the inner muscles,” Miura said in his various interviews.
The
movie was based on the Manga series that has become a critical and financial
phenomenon with over 50 million volumes produced. One of the most compelling stories that recently
came out, “Attack on Titan: End of the World” is directed by Shinji Higuchi’s from
a two-part film based on Hajime Isayama’s best-selling comic about teens
battling human-eating giants Shingeki no Kjoyin.
Kiko
Mizuhara, who plays Mikasa, a leading character in the film shared on how she
prepared for the role, “The day when I got the part, when I knew that I got the
part for Mikasa, I went into training right away because I knew from the outset
that she was the strongest character in the film. I had a personal trainer
because, you know, you have to act with the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear so I
had to put a lot of muscle on my legs and my lower back. So it was every day
going into the studio to train for the wire action. It was really, really hard.
On the heavier days I would train for eight hours a day. It was hard, but I
thought if I did have more time there was so much I would've been able to do,
but nevertheless it was very hard days of training.”
Unraveling
the mystery behind the Titans, “Attack on Titan: End of the World” opens this
September 23 nationwide from Pioneer Films.
