'Fullmetal Alchemist' The Movie
The rumor has now been confirmed...
A 'Hagane no Renkinjutsushi' (Fullmetal Alchemist) movie is to be released theatrically in the summer of 2005. The official announcement of this shocking news will be in the August 04' issue of 'Shonen GanGan' magazine (on sale July 12). Source: ultimatum. *Look under the 07/09/2004 entries. |

I agree with Rattus.
But I also think that this could make a great movie. With Widescreen, more colours, better shadowing, better sound-quality (although for us non-japanese, it won't be in the theater, but for the people in Japan it will be better sound-quality in the theater rather than the TV), a new soundtrack, new characters (if Pride doesn't show up...), a new storyline and so on. Since the series will end this fall, it would be nice to have a sequel the summer after that! Also a lot of people will have bought the DVDs, so its popularity would be widened and people will like this movie. I am sure of it. Go 2005 go! It's the same year as the new Zelda for GCN and also Star Wars Episode III. |

Likely the FMA movie will end up being a parrallel recapitulation of the anime's plot but taking place within an alternate reality and presenting a whole new set of different characters, except for the Elric brothers.
Just as it was the case in Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea Movie from the TV series. and Utena: End of Adolescence Movie from the TV series. |

i.e. a "let's all make new friends, introduce an issue, grow and learn from it in 90 mins" story-in-a-can. I can't hardly wait. I'd be excited if we were expecting something of the depth "Fullmetal Alchemist: So Good It's Spirited Away 2", but I've never seen a decent anime series-to-movie. Am I just watching all the wrong things?

Interesting. I don't think I'm very happy about it, just because most series-to-movie efforts haven't worked out too well, but I'm sure my true opinion will be formed once I see the ending to the series.
Since it's Bones, I wouldn't be surprised if it was something along the lines of the Escaflowne movie or the RahXephon movie, as in a summary of the series, except with some stuff changed. Then again, it might be like the Bebop movie since that's also Bones - a side story during the series. We'll see in 2005. Come to think of it (again, all my current musings will surely change during these next thirteen episodes), I would love to see a movie based only on Scar, his brother, and human Lust. With Scar's brother being the main character, so that we would see the transmutation scene in full and stuff... All this might be shown in the anime, though, so who knows? |

Heh, this just somehow reminded me of the movie, Final Fantasy: Spirits Within, if that was the name. I watched it because I liked Final Fantasy so much, but it wasn`t like Final Fantasy, in my opinion, although it was good.
I`m thinking the movie will sort of be like that? Probably the same characters but a different object. |

Well... if it was a Live Action movie, they'd screw everything up. I don't think they can make a good Live Action movie out of FMA. It's an anime movie, yes. |

Thank you for this information---!!
I'm so happy! 2004 was full of many anime movies such as "Innocence" "Steam boy""Haul's moving castle", but I hope, we can enjoy many anime films next year, too. Now I want to know what anime company will create this. I'm counting on Sunrise's work(or...production I.G?). PS...Then, it became sure that we can enjoy 2 films from Sunrise:"Gundam Z" & "Fullmetal Alchemist the movie". |

I am ashamed to say that I have not yet seen the Cowboy Bebop movie. I will now hide my face in shame behind this help sign: As for 2004 movies, I'm excited about Steamboy, Innocence, and Kakurenbo mainly - and, above all else released this year (since 2002 actually), the holy Ghibli will ascend and bring to us Howl's Moving Castle. I can't wait. |

agrippa = Zauren? I think you have them confused because of the same Avatar. Or is it the same person? Hmm... Anyway... can't wait for Howl's Moving Castle to come out! Another Miyazaki-masterpiece for certain! And the FMA movie will be awesome! EDIT: Whoa, I can't believe it! agrippa stole Zauren's avatar! Agrippa, unless you were permitted to use that avatar by the creator of the GIF, I would suggest you change avatar, since someone else is using it, namely Zauren. Well, he might not be the creator of it... there are so many people making GIFs in the GIF-thread, that I can't remember who has made which GIF. :P |

Hughes would be nice, yeah...
Anyhoo, I wonder what it's gonna be about...if it's about what happens áfter the TV series, then I doubt hughes would be in it (unless he'd be resurrected which would suck because then his death would be meaningless). I am looking forward to it though. I mean, even if it won't live up to the series, it's still 90 minutes of FMA sweetness. And seeing as the series is finished by that time, any extra FMA stuff would be nice, so, I'm just gonna wait and hope for the best. |
