The Attack on Titan film is probably one of the most anticipated Japanese movies in the history of geek cinema. Based on the popular manga and anime series of the same name, the movie follows the story of a boy named Eren who lives in a world where monstrous humanoids destroyed most of humanity.

Until now, the only trailer available for the film was in Japanese, and although it was cool to watch, those of us who don't speak Japanese were left in the dark as to what the trailer actually said.

Never fear, though: one Australian distributor just released an English-subtitled version of the trailer. The release of that trailer came with an announcement that the film debuts in theaters in Australia and New Zealand later this year.

The Attack on Titan live action film's director is Shinji Higuchi, who worked with Hajime Isayama, the original creator of the manga. There are actually two live-action films telling the story, with the first premiering in Japan on August 1 and the second coming on September 19.

This trailer shows a film that's as horrifying as the manga and anime series, with visuals that seem to do the story justice. We even get to see the face of a Titan and there's a hint of things to come when one picks up Eren's mom and lifts her body up to its mouth (fans of the manga and anime series know what comes next, and it's not pretty).

Attack on Titan takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth where human-eating giants called Titans have wiped out humanity by eating people. This forces those humans remaining to live in a city surrounded by three walls that protect them from the Titans. However, when those walls fail, it's up to a group of young people to protect the city and fight the monsters.

The story is monstrous and often horrifying, and it looks like the live-action film won't shy away from those moments that turn the stomach and leave audiences shocked.

Unfortunately, there is no word yet on if and when the film makes it to U.S. theaters. However, season two of the Attack on Titan anime series arrives in 2016.
