And, if you stick around until the very end, you can watch as Edward gets confronted by a transmuted beast. There is no action sequence shown since the trailer simply fades to black, but fans can imagine how Edward would take down the monster. He’s even got a bo staff ready to knock the transmutation on its back.
Fans have been anxiously awaiting a trailer for Fullmetal Alchemist ever since the film was announced. Fumihiko Sori will direct the project while Ryosuke Yamada will play Edward Elric. There’s no word yet on who will voice Alphonse, but fans know the character will be mostly seen through CGI.
A slew of side characters have already been cast for the film. Winry Rockbell will be played by Tsubasa Honda while Colonel Roy Mustang has Dean Fujioka. Other notable characters will be seen in the film like Shou Tucker, so fans can prepare to have their hearts broken if the mad scientist inflicts the same fate upon his daughter on the big screen as he did in the anime.
If you are not familiar with Fullmetal Alchemist, then you have plenty of time to watch the anime before its live-action film arrives. The series follows brothers Edward and Alphonse after their mother tragically passes. They attempt to use alchemy to resurrect her, but the attempt takes Edward’s arm and leg - and it takes Alphonse’s entire body. Determined to get their bodies restored, Edward and Alphonse try to become State Alchemists so they can find the location of a powerful item known as the Philosopher’s Stone. But their journey ultimately leads them into a seedy world of government corruption and mass genocide.
Fullmetal Alchemist will debut in Japan next winter.
