Plot
The plot takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, in a reality where alchemy (ancient esoteric science that sought the transmutation of matter) is extremely developed and respected. The plot features brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who after attempting the forbidden technique of human transmutation, suffer an accident. Alphonse dies and Edward loses his left leg. He then sacrifices his right arm to keep his brother's soul trapped in a metal armor. Using mechanical prosthetics known as "automail" that give him the nickname "Fullmetal Alchemist", Edward and Alphonse search for the legendary philosopher's stone that will retrieve their bodies.
Cast
Development
On adapting the source material, Fumihiko Sori said, "I want to create a style that follows the original manga as much as possible. The cast is entirely Japanese, but the cultural background is Europe. However, it's a style that doesn't represent a specific race or country." Regarding the faithfulness of the adaptation, which has characters of non-Japanese ethnicity, the director said, "There will never be a scene in which a character says something that would identify him/her as Japanese."
Sori told Oricon he has a deep affection for the story that tells the "truth of living," and said, "It is my dearest wish to turn this wonderful story into a film, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I am living for this reason." He added that he "wants to create a wonderful film that uses techniques that challenge Hollywood," and noted that nowadays Japanese filmmaking techniques have progressed greatly.
Filming
Principal photography took place in Italy. Shooting was spotted in Volterra on the first week of June and some scenes continued filming in Japan from June and wrapped up in August 26, 2016.
Japanese VFX company OXYBOT inc. will provide the visual effects for the film.
