The official website for Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin announced on Tuesday that live-action movie adaptation of the manga is moving forward with a new project team. It's slated to begin filming in summer 2014 for a planned 2015 release. 

Now the movie is set to be directed by Shinji Higuchi, who served as assistant director on Royal Space Force - The Wings of Honnêamise and made a significant contribution to Evangelion. He has also served as the special effects director for the '90s Gamera trilogy and directed on the 2006 version of The Sinking of Japan. 

Yuusuke Watanabe (Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, live-action Gantz, Gantz II: Perfect Answer,20th Century Boys, Gatchaman) will write the script for the movie. And film critic Tomohiro Machiyama, also a friend with Isayama, is working on the scripts together with Isayama and Watanabe. No word on any casting yet.
