What arcs of Shingeki No Kyojin will the live-action movie cover? The live action movie for Shingeki No Kyojin is coming out in 2015 or 2016 if I am not mistaken. Does anyone know what arcs of the anime and manga the movie will cover?
First off, there are a number of minor departures from the source material, such as Mikasa's general personality and the setting of the world, but this is to be expected - all adaptions have a degree of director's license, and the main bones of the series are still easily visible.

&quot;This is not the Attack on Titan you saw on the comic book page. This is not the Attack on Titan you saw animated on television&quot; [...]
&quot;It takes place in the future of our world, with remnants of warplanes and weaponry peppered across the countryside. Its great walls were built by human hands...&quot;
Taken from Anime News Network

The first movie begins at the same point as the anime series, with the breach of the outer wall, and covers the majority of the main points up to and including the first battle in the Trost District:

Eren, Mikasa and Armin's friendship and discussing what is outside the walls
Eren falling out with the Garrison soldiers in his home city
The Colossal Titan appearing and kicking a hole in the wall of the Shiganshina District (Monzen in the movie)
Signing up to the Survey Corps. with the ideals of revenge
Travelling to and fighting in the Trost District with the other graduated recruits from Eren's training squad (Omotemachi in the movie)
Eren saving Armin, but being swallowed and having his arm bitten off in the process
Eren shifting into a titan from inside the one he was eaten by, and emerging in front of Mikasa
Eren (in Titan form) fighting the Titans inside the city
An unconscious but fully healed Eren emerges from his defeated Titan form, signifying the end of the first movie

Additionally, a more detailed plot summary can be read here, along with other information on the film.

Therefore, the following arcs are covered in the first film:

The 'Fall of Shiganshina' arc
The '104th Trainees Squad' arc
And approximately half of the 'Battle for Trost' arc
