Full Metal Alchemist ...WB live action trailer.

Finally. At last... a live action Full Metal Alchemist. Looks to be heavy CGI. But what movie isn't nowadays? Besides this is one story impossible to portray without effects. I am a big fan of this epic story. I doubt only one movie will be enough to do it justice. I hope the English dubbed version is not far behind.
Also curious if they go with the "Brotherhood" story line, or the "standard"
one..or a mix of both?!

Anyone else a fan!?

Now I still await a live action...AKIRA



I felt I need to ad some background information.
en.wikipedia.org...

Plot Edward and Alphonse Elric live in the rural town of Resembool with their mother Trisha and their father Van Hohenheim, the latter having left home for an unknown reason. When Trisha dies of the plague, the brothers perform the forbidden alchemic technique of human transmutation in an attempt to resurrect her. Consequently, the transmutation backfires and in law with equivalent exchange, Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body are destroyed. Edward sacrifices his right arm to rescue Alphonse's soul, binding it to a suit of armor with a blood seal. Edward is invited by Roy Mustang to become a State Alchemist to research a way to restore Alphonse's body. Edward succeeds, becoming the Fullmetal Alchemist, the title based on his prosthetic automail limbs and use of alchemy involving metal materials. Three years on, the Elrics search for the mythical Philosopher's Stone to achieve their goals. They free the citizens of the city Liore by exposing the corrupt motives of the local cult's prophetic founder. They are targeted by Scar, an Ishbalan serial killer who murders State Alchemists per his anti-alchemic religious beliefs, and their encounter with him forcing them to return to Resembool to have their bodies repaired by their childhood friend and mechanic, Winry Rockbell.

YESSSS!!!!!!

I don't care which storyline, TBH. Just happy to see it is coming.

This is wonderful news indeed! I guarantee this will have such an amazing global opening weekend, that its going to be blowing Disney's latest blockbusters out of the water.

Im not sure about this, im not a fan of crossovers from anime to heavy CGI with humans.. And the franchise is heavily storybased so i find it hard to see a good plot happening from this..

Just my subjective view..

a reply to: reldra

Agreed.
I am just anxious to see how they portray the homunculus sins(Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Greed..etc). they were a fair bit different between the two.

And also will we see "Alex Louis Armstrong"?


In any account Alfonse post transmutation will be the highlight.

a reply to: jappee

I suggest for Armstrong, they cast Abraham from the walking dead. He has the appearance to match, but is going to have to lose that backwoods accent.

Looks good!

I'll go and see it!

Well, this looks promising. I'm yet to see a live action adaptation that isn't complete crap, so I'm not holding my breath, but I like what I see on this trailer.

Fantastic OP this should be great, thanks for posting, loved the anime series so fingers crossed it's decent.

Didn't know this was in the works. Looks exciting!
