I'm most interested though in seeing who is cast in this film as I think that will be the second most important aspect of the movie. On a side note I would love to see the fandoms ideal casting for the movie as I don't have any preferences of my own right now. I heard about that. However is the director a big AoT fan? I don't really know much about Mr. Muschietti personal life except for that people love working for him (Jessica Chastain especially) but he is a horror director and AOT is a horror hybrid similar to "It" so I wouldn't be surprised if he has read the manga or watched the anime before. On a side note I know that John Boyega is a fan and I believe Del Torro is as well for celebrity fans of the source material so maybe they'll have roles to play later down the line.
