Take That!! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

[CamulaHikari]

The Ace Attorney series is headed to the big screen, Capcom revealed today, with Japanese director, Takashi Miike, in charge of creating Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – The Movie.

Miike will be joined by cast members Hiroki Narimiya (as Phoenix), Mirei Kiritani (his assistant, Maya Fey), and Takumi Saito (as prosecutor Miles Edgeworth). Note that these are the localized names for the characters; in the Japanese versions of the Ace Attorney games, they all have Japanese names.

The movie is planned for an early spring 2012 release at Toho Cinemas across Japan.

Mirei Kiritani certainly has the hair for the job.

This last one is not a Capcom-endorsed image, but that’s Takumi Saito (Miles Edgeworth).

Food for thought:

We wonder if the producers will include the Court Suite in the film’s soundtrack?

Been posted before.

That is damn cool! But still Miles Edgeworth was better than PW

 

[Sausage Head]

that post was a rumour; this is probably confirmation

 

[The Catboy]

If this movie sucks I will do unspeakable things to the director!

 

[Ikki]

Man, I can take that Phoenix but that Maya and that Miles are terrible...


I really hope the movie is at least great.

 

[Raika]

Why does Phoenix look like some punk and Edgeworth a pimp?

 

[Paarish]

Awesome ! Can't wait!

If this movie sucks I will do unspeakable things to the director!

If it does, send him my regards

 

[Berthenk]

They stole Phoenix' ridiculous impossibly impossible hair!

 

[KingdomBlade]

Phoenix Wright looks so... emo.

It's so weird.

 

[AlanJohn]

At least the characters are japanese like in the game.


OFFTOPIC: Why is there a popular band in the topic title?

What wrong with Maya? I actually have a little beef with how Phoenix look... a little.

idk about this...

 

[AeroblitzR]

maya's actress looks just perfect for the role!
too bad this movie's gonna bite...still gonna torrent it, though...

 

[Nujui]

Oh god the actors look nothing like the originals.

But then again that's with most movies.

I don't think this is a good idea. Phoenix Wright should have been an anime, then they could have kept all of the crazy stuff.

Miike mentioned this at some film festival a week or two ago.
I want to say it was Cannes, but not sure.

Crazy stuff?
Go watch a Takeshi Miike film pliz.

 

[Zerousen]

I agree, should've been an anime.
