The widely popular anime and manga
series finally gets its own live-action movie adaptation.
The Fullmetal Alchemist manga written
and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa ran from 2001 to 2010 and received two anime
adaptations and two animated films.
It was announced by Livedoor News
(translation via Tokyo Otaku Mode) that the movie will be released sometime
next summer 2017. The lead role of Edward Elric will be played by Yamada
Ryosuke (Hey! Say! JUMP and Assassination Classroom). Other casts were already announced
too such as Honda Tsubasa (Ao Haru Rise) as Winry Rockbell, Dean Fujioka as Roy
Mustang, Sato Ryuta as Maes Hughes, Oizumi You as Shou Tucker, Matsuyuki Yasuko
as Lust, Hongo Kanata (Prince of Tennis, Nana 2 and Shingeki no Kyojin) as
Envy, and Uchiyama Shinji as Gluttony.
With the stellar cast of some of the
hottest actors in Japan, no doubt this is a movie that every will anticipate
for.
Fullmetal Alchemist is one of many
popular anime that are currently taking a leap on live-action adaptations along
with the American adaptations of Death Note and Ghost in the Shell (starringScarlett Johansson) which will be released in theaters next March.
IGN also managed to talk to James Wan
about his planned adaptation of Robotech, which will focus on the first arc of
the show and primarily resemble the classic anime Macross.
