The director of the film is Andy Muschietti who has done the films Mama, It chapter 1, and is currently finishing up It chapter 2 for September. He's a horror director primarily known for balancing strong visuals with scares (the opening for the first It is masterful in this regard). Unfortunately I think this adaptation is going to get shoved back indefinitely as he is apparently close to signing on to do The Flash with Ezra Miller (Warner Bros is producing both films) so a known property like the Flash will get first priority over a riskier project like Attack On Titan. It depends on how quick they want to get this done but I think it depends on AOT's executive producer who is a all star in the industry known for his work on Harry Potter & Paddington so he could strong arm the studio into getting it done but then again Warner's has been trying to get Akira done for 20 years and that just got delayed because of Thor 4 so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
