Ryosuke Yamada challenged "Mechanical Armor" to go to Italy to shoot
Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga of the same name that was serialized in the monthly magazine Shonen Ganggang from 2011 to 2010, and has gained worldwide popularity due to the themes of "alchemy" and "life" that can make material changes, and has sold more than 70 million copies in 21 countries around the world. The story depicts Edward Ellik and his brother Alphonse Ellik unsuccessfully performing "human refinement" to see their dead mother, and in order to recover what was lost, the brothers embark on a journey to find the "Stone of the Sages" that hides a huge secret.
Such a world-famous comic is finally finalized to be put on the screen, it is reported that the film will be in Italy for nearly a month of large-scale overseas filming, in order to create a perfect art effect, action design and CG influence, the distributor Warner Bros. has invested a considerable budget for the largest film in the history of state painting.
Ryosuke Yamada, who entered the fourth installment of his acting career after the Assassination Classroom series and Grasshopper, served as the film's protagonist, Edward Ellik, challenging Edward's lost right arm and left leg as a price for tasting taboos replaced by steel prosthetic "mechanical armor". Recalling when he first received the invitation to star, Ryosuke Yamada said: "It is precisely because I love the original work for ten minutes, so I have always had doubts in my heart about what kind of work I will make, and whether I can withstand this pressure." But since I am willing to accept the challenge, I will try to strengthen my body and understand the character deeply. For the many action scenes in the film, Ryosuke Yamada also expressed his full desire.
On the other hand, director Fumihiko Tseng, who participated in the cg animation of Titanic in 1997, had the idea of bringing Fullmetal Alchemist to the screen 10 years ago, and began to launch a live-action version of the project 3 years ago. "Imaging technology has been so developed, and Japan has entered the era of imaging. I hope to use the technical power of Hollywood to present this wonderful work to the audience. Speaking about the location shooting in Italy, the director said: "The Italian side is also very much looking forward to the film created by the Hands of the Japanese, and gives great support in a series of work. At the same time, we also photographed the real place where alchemy was performed there. ”
For the film itself, director Fumihiko Tsone sent a message: "It is my long-cherished wish to put this story on the screen, and it is not too much to say that I have been living for this." In the book, Edward Ellik's age is around 20 years old, so the live-action shooting will change a little, "We will try to show it according to the original, I don't want to use the shape and mechanical armor as an advantage selling point, but how to show a good story and whether the film can be established as the key to my victory or defeat." 」 ”
