Live-action Japanese Phoenix Wright film in the works

The Phoenix Wright Movie is Real

Quote:
Japanese director Takashi Miike said recently that he was working on a "light comedy" based on a court drama game for the DS. The Ace Attorney series seemed to fit the bill and, sure enough, Capcom has officially announced that Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is headed to the big screen for a live-action adaptation.

The titular Wright will be played by Hiroki Narimiya, prosecutor Miles Edgeworth by Takumi Saito, and assistant Maya Fey by Mirei Kiritani. Production will be handled by Nippon Television Network Corporation and the movie -- currently carrying the working title of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - The Movie -- is currently scheduled to be out in Japan next spring.

Capcom is no stranger to videogame-based movies; its Resident Evil series will see its fifth live-action movie released in 2012.

There's no word as of yet on an international release. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would get a wide release in theaters in North America, but it's anyone's guess as to what could happen with a possibly subtitled DVD or digital release.
lol

The thing to remember is that this is no hack director; He just released this masterpiece last year, and is pretty well respected for other films of his such as Audition, Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, and The Happiness of the Katakuris. Considering how many rabid fanboys he has (myself not really being one of them, as other than 13 Assassins I've really only moderately enjoyed his work), this will at the very least make it to the states in DVD form.

Except his films tend to be a lot more strange than Ridley's.
