Later apologizes, explains context
Shinji Higuchi, director of the live-action Attack on Titan movie, found himself in hot water after comments he posted on Facebook. The Japanese movie review site Chō Eiga Hihan had given Attack on Titan a 40 out of 100. “I did it! If the experts had praised me, I wouldn’t have known what to do, but this makes me feel better,” he wrote. “Speaking of which, who are the idiots who sent these guys invitations to the preview?” The post was originally viewable to friends only, but it leaked regardless.
Higuchi apologized on Twitter. “If there was going to be an explosion of comments, I wish it had been for a better reason.” he wrote. “I’m really ashamed. I’m sorry to everyone involved for being a nuisance.” He went on to clarify his remarks somewhat: “Who I’m really ‘outraged’ at are the blockheads in charge of publicity who sent preview invitations to people who don’t deserve to be shown private screenings, and let them into the screening room once they’re identified. I have no way of knowing how my personal feelings will be received, but I didn’t lose my temper.” He also tweeted that “I’m the real blockhead… for thinking that [the person who leaked his posts] was a friend.”
Attack on Titan premieres on August 1. Its screenwriter, Tomohiro Machiyama, has already warned fans that there will be major changes to the original story.

TOHO Streams ‘PG-12’ Rated Promo Video for 1st Live-Action Attack on Titan Film
posted on 2015-08-07 01:00 EDT
1st film debuted in Japan on August 1, will screen in U.S. theaters this fall
TOHO began streaming a PG-12 rated promotional video on Friday for the first of two Attack on Titan live-action films. Film director Shinji Higuchi supervised the video.
The first film debuted last weekend in Japan, and it topped the Japanese box office charts, earning 603.47 million yen (about US$4.866 million). The film sold approximately 467,000 tickets for the weekend.
Funimation hosted the world premiere of the film in Hollywood last month.
The second live-action Attack on Titan film, Attack on Titan: End of the World, will open in Japan on September 19. Funimation plans to release the first film in American theaters this fall, and the company has theatrical, video-on-demand, home video, and broadcast rights to the films.

Attack on Titan Creator Urges Moviegoers to Check Out Live-Action Adaptation
posted on 2015-08-12 21:45 EDT by Lynzee Lamb
Director Shinji Higuchi may be hard at work on the next Godzilla film, but he’s still dealing with blow-back from his insults toward critics and promotion staff for the first live-action Attack on Titan film. The film’s modeling director left his own words for critics and there’s even rumors circulating from (now deleted) reviews left by claimed film extras that the staff treated them horribly and some extras walked.
Many of the complaints of the film stem from production values and changes from the source material. Screenwriter Tomohiro Machiyama recently stated the films in the series are expected to feature drastic changes to plot points and characters readily established and even beloved by fans, with popular characters not even appearing in the film. He also confirmed that original creator Hajime Isayama was made aware of and approved the changes.
Now that the film is out, Isayama doubled down on the creative choices in the face of negative fan reception.
“We knew that we were going to get a lot of different opinions going into this,” Isayama remarked. “We welcome all of the thoughts and criticisms of this movie and we want to try and learn from them as we move forward.”
To that end, Isayama has since encouraged current skeptics to go see the movie, asking that they watch the promotional videos in advance to see if it could appeal to them.
“If you feel like seeing the movie even a little, please check it out. It might be a little selfish of me to ask, but I think people may end up enjoying the movie.”
So now both sides of the planet have their own Fantastic Four/AoT.
