Warner Bros. Pictures Japan has finally released the official full-length trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of "Fullmetal Alchemist."

The trailer will be the third one released by Warner Bros. Japan. It gives much attention not only to the two protagonists of the film but to other central characters as well.

For those who are unfamiliar with "Fullmetal Alchemist," the story centers on two brothers, Edward (Ryosuke Yamada) and Alphonse Elric, who lose their mother while their father is away. In grief, the brothers decide to dabble with the power of alchemy and perform the forbidden act of restoring the dead back to life.

The whole process backfires on them and instead of resurrecting their dead mother, Alphonse loses his entire body while Edward is left with serious injuries. Edward then sacrifices his arm in order to retrieve his brother's soul and transfer it to the only available vessel at the time, a full metal armor.
