Fullmetal Alchemist-Live-action filming in Italy and Japan
First, the recordings began on Italian soil in early June and, later, will go to Japan. According to the schedule, the team will end the filming in the second half of August. The film's debut is scheduled for the Japanese winter of 2017.
Although the manga introduces Edward as a 15 -year -old, director Fumihiko Sori revealed that the character will have 20 years in the film version. This decision aims to better adapt the narrative to the film format, respecting the essence of the story.
Director promises state -of -the -art technique
"It's my greatest desire to turn this wonderful story into a movie, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm living for this reason. I want to create a wonderful movie that will use techniques that challenge Hollywood," said Sori with enthusiasm. Although the task is challenging, he said he intends to create something remarkable and with techniques that can rival Hollywood productions.
Moreover, the choice of Italy as an initial scenario is no coincidence. The classic environment of the city contributes to bring life to the fantastic universe of Fullmetal Alchemist with authenticity and visual depth.
