NEWS: Official Live-Action Attack on Titan TV Ad's 1st Photo Debuts

The model was about two meters (about six meters) tall and required seven people to operate.

The titans scream FAKE, its would be lower than low budget if titan appear as in this commercial, at least they should do an excellent work with the makeup, but probably cg would look even more fake.

SO in short, I cannot see this being good in any way.

Maybe the titans would be the least fake looking, more worrisome is how they will make the humans fight them and use the gear that obviously its impossible with real physics, judging by other movies, this would look the most fake.

Why the fudge is tehre a car in it? i hope its just in there as some really stupid product placement and wont be in the actual movie

We haven't even seen it in motion yet. Sure, Japanese sci-fi movies don't have a great track record for visual effects, but I'm going to wait until there's movie footage before I start shitting all over it.

It will be interesting to see them make it, but the way the titans will end up looking will determine if I like it or not. That, and the fact that if every actor in the movie be Japanese, that would ruin it for me. I mean,

(MINI SPOILER)

there's only one Japanese person in the series.

I want to be positive, but you and me know how japanese actions movies turn out (let alone sci-fi), last time I had some hope (Gantz) I ended up with a movie that seemed more for laughs than anything else. If its drama then its another story, because comedy also suck bad bad bad.

Let see a bit of the commercial and the titans in motion:

You cannot deny the makeup looks very cheap and fake (female titan, the othe rone looks less fake), it looks a little bit less fake from far away in the commercial but still noticeable, specially the mouth looks very cheap, hopefully the movie has better budget and maybe, only then maybe, the titans can work out somehow, still wonder how humans fighting them and jumping on them and on buildings would look like....

CGI doesn't produce the feeling of presence where you are looking at something there without mediation. A miniature is something that is actually there, so that even as an image on a screen it produces a feeling of presence. I think that human perception actually grasps this difference.... I think that, even more than anime, Japan should first of all be proud of Godzilla.

Good God!
These Titans look so much creepier than the anime/manga.
