NEWS: TEASER TRAILER FOR FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST DELIVERS ON SPECTACLE. BRIEFLY.

A teaser trailer has been released for Fullmetal Alchemist and all we can say is, impressive. It's early days of course but the effects look pretty cool and this could be the film fans are praying for. We have a long time to wait, however, Fullmetal Alchemist premieres sometime during winter, 2017 in Japan.

Fullmetal Alchemist is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Fullmetal Alchemist, the film is set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques. The story itself follows two alchemist brothers named Edward and Alphonse Elric, who are searching for the philosopher's stone to restore their bodies after a failed attempt to bring their mother back to life.

Fumihiko Sori (Ichi, Ping Pong) will direct the film and principal photography ran from June to August 2016 in Italy. The film will star Ryosuke Yamada (Assassination Classroom) as Edward Elric, Tsubasa Honda (The Mole Song 2) as Winry Rockbell and Dean Fujioka (Ninja the Monster) as Roy Mustang. The anime was voted Japan's most popular of all time. No pressure then.
