鋼の錬金術師

Die Brüder Edward und Alphonse Elric führen nach dem Tod ihrer Mutter im Kindesalter ein gefährliches Experiment durch: Sie wollen die Verstorbene mittels Alchemie wieder zum Leben erwecken. Doch der Versuch geht schief und die Brüder bleiben verstümmelt zurück. Edward verliert einige Gliedmaßen, Alphonse sogar seinen ganzen Körper. Ihnen bleibt nur, Alphonses Seele in eine Rüstung zu übertragen, in der er fortan existiert. Jahre später, ist Edward bekannt als Fullmetal Alchemist und wird immer noch von dem Wunsch getrieben, seinen Bruder zu heilen. Nur der sagenumwobene Stein der Weisen könnte ihm jetzt noch helfen – aber die Elrics sind nicht die einzigen, die nach diesem sagenumwobenen Artefakt sucheen.

Production

The film was originally planned to be produced in 2013 but because of low budget and also technology, it was delayed until it was officially announced for production in May 2016. According to the director's press conference in March 2017:

[S]ince the main characters are the two brothers, where there is Ed, there will always be Al. Even just based on that, the amount of CG used becomes enormous. In this work, I'm using a technology that was used in Hollywood movies such as The Avengers. We're using a lot [of] new techniques that were never used in Japanese movies before..."

Since the original story consists of 27 volumes, I cut it down in to two hours, but we will stay faithful to the manga. ... I don't plan to change the setting, the world view, and make a different story... Of course we will have the philosopher's stone...[in the story].

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 someth…

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.
