July 12, 2001 was the date on which the first chapter of the Fullmetal Alchemist manga was published.
While cramming the entire 27-volume manga into one feature film would be impossible, it’s still unclear exactly which Fullmetal Alchemist story arcs the movie will be covering.
Early announcements indicated that Shou Tucker, an early-chapter antagonist, will appear in the live-action version, but the above trailer also shows a pivotal fight scene between Lust and Mustang which doesn’t occur until far, far later in the manga/anime’s chain of events.
And finally, opposing our heroes will be the homunculi Lust (Yasuko Matsuyuki), Envy (Kanata Hongo), and Gluttony (Shinji Uchiyama).
