That sounds like a film worth looking forward to! Here's the synopsis for the film, and I hope you enjoy the trailer!
The plot takes place at the beginning of the 20th century, in a reality where alchemy (ancient esoteric science that sought the transmutation of matter) is real,extremely developed and respected. The plot features brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric who, after attempting the forbidden technique of human transmutation, suffer the consequences. Alphonse loses his entire body while Edward loses his left leg. He then sacrifices his right arm to keep his brother's soul trapped within a metal suit of armor. Using mechanical prosthetics known as "automail",he‘s given the nickname "Fullmetal Alchemist", all while in search for the legendary philosopher's stone that will repair their bodies.
The movie was directed by Fumihiko Sori, and it hits theaters in Japan on December 1st. It will make it's U.S. premiere on November 19th at Anime NYC.
