posted on by Kevin Yuan
The staff of the live-action film based on Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist manga announced at Tokyo Comic-Con on Friday that the film will premiere in Japan in December 2017. The Warner Bros. Japan booth at Tokyo Comic-Con is additionally displaying Roy Mustang's costume (pictured below) worn in the actual film by actor Dean Fujioka (live-action Happy Marriage!?).
Fumihiko Sori (live-action Ping Pong) is directing the film, which also stars Ryōsuke Yamada (Hey! Say! JUMP member and live-action Assassination Classroom's Nagisa) as Edward Elric and Tsubasa Honda (live-action Blue Spring Ride's Futaba) as Winry Rockbell.
The film tells the story of the manga in one complete film. Ed is being aged up to 20 years old; he was originally 15 in the manga. 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."
The film's website revealed a teaser trailer last month.
Update: Added better images of Mustang's costume from Tokyo Comic-Con event display.
