YES KIDDIES IT'S NOT OVER YET!!

I jumped off my chair when I read this, it couldn't have been a lovelier surprise.

As long as it's not going to be just a compact retelling O_o in which case I will promptly die.

I really wonder what the movie could be about. Unfortunately, it will most likely be either a horribly cut recap of the events or a continuation which is kinda doomed to fail. *glares at the previous FMA movie*

I would love if they used this opportunity to properly retell the Ishbal arc or Xerxes flashback, but I really really doubt that as they would no dare to make a Hagaren movie without its main character...

EDIT: On the other hand...
As Arakawa-sensei might have some free time on her hands now, she might be involved in the movie and maybe even create an original story for it? *___*
(Yeah, probaby not happening, but dreaming isn't forbdden, is it?)

I think that's just a rumour. Does someone know the exact wording of the announcement? It's not in the article (at least not in English). If it is refering to and/or coming from Studio Bones we can be pretty sure it's not live action, as Bones is an animation studio and nothing but that.

God if they make another horrible movie I will be so pissed. Fingers crossed Arakawa-sensei gets involved.

TVアニメ『鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST』は全64話で原作漫画通りのエンディングを迎えている。流石に全64話もあるハガレンの総集編映画は尺が厳しいので、個人的にはTV アニメ第1期の時の映画『劇場版 鋼の錬金術師 シャンバラを征く者』のようなオリジナル映画になる可能性が高いと考える。続報に期待。

The TV Anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood totaled for 64 episodes following the ending of the original manga. As one would expect, measuring up to the 64 episode Hagaren compilation in a movie would be difficult, I think that the probability of going the way of the original series ending with an original movie, Movie Version Fullmetal Alchemist Conqueror of Shamballa is high. Waiting for further information.
