"Fullmetal Alchemist" Live-Action Film 2nd Trailer Introduces Elric Brothers in Childhood

Following the first one revealed in the end of the last year, the official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's Hagane no Renkinjutsushi/Fullmetal Alchemist manga today posted a 50-second second trailer introducing the Elric Brothers in their childhood, and the grown-up Ed with CGI-generated Al in alchemy battles.

 

 

 

 


  

Director Fumihiko Sori (Ping Pong, Vexille, Ashita no Joe) provides his comments on the film's technical

aspect. "It is true that Hollywood has gone far ahead of Japan. But we have gathered enough technology

to reach the level that we have never been, if we jump fly high. That allows me to try this film now.

I want to reach out where no one has gone before with this film. But I understand technology should be

used only to support the story. For a film, the most important thing is its story. I think it is wonderful if

technology can hold the story tightly."

 

23-year-old Ryosuke Yamada, a member of Japanese idol group Hey! Say! JUMP, is cast as the protagonist

Edward Elric, while 24-year-old fashion model/actress Tsubasa Honda plays the main heroine Winry Rockbell.

The voice cast for Al, previously voiced by Rie Kugimiya in the anime series, has not yet been revealed.

 

The film's three-month shooting was already finished in Japan in August 2016, and it is set for a release on

December 1, 2017.
