The 'Attack on Titan' live-action film will have its limited screening in selected theatres across the United States as well as Canada beginning on September 30, 2015. Tickets are now available for purchase on the film's official website ahead of the North American release.

According to IGN, distribution company FUNimation Entertainment will release the two-part live-action adaptation in selected theaters across the United States and Canada. Founder and CEO Gen Fukunaga said, "This is a limited theatrical release so I encourage fans to find their nearest theater and purchase tickets to both movies now. A movie as colossal as Attack on Titan truly takes two parts to tell. Fans do not want to miss this opportunity."

It was reported that part 1 will debut on September 30 this year. Part two will follow on October 20, 22, and 27. Fans in Canada will have to wait a little longer for the part 1 screening on either October 5 or 26 and part 2 screening on either October 22 or 26.

In another article by Comic Book Resources, FUNimation recently released the teaser trailer for the live-action adaptation of the best-selling Japanese manga of the same name. It revealed a post-apocalyptic world set a hundred years after giant humanoids called Titans destroyed most of human civilization. However, a massive flesh-eating Titan suddenly appears to herald a new period of violence against humans, which prompts the heroes to wage a war to save humanity from extinction.

The film is directed by Shinji Higuchi with the screenplay written by Yusuke Watanabe, Tomohiro Machiyama and original manga creator Hajime Isayama, according to Digital Trends. It was reported that Isayama's comic books published in North America topped the best-seller list on the New York Times every time a new volume came out. His manga, with over 50 million copies in circulation, proved to be a mainstream success in the international market.

Tickets to the North American screening are currently available on their official website 'Attack On Titan The Movie'. Part 1 already debuted in Japan last August 1, 2015 with part 2 following on September 19, 2015.
