It's been a while since I've played Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on my DS. And today I found out that a live action movie of this game has been released. I'm not a huge fan of movies based on games (Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Lara Croft, Mortal Kombat...ulggg...). But when I found out more about the live adaptation, it increased my interest a little bit. Guess who's the director of the movie: Takashi Miike! Yup, the guy from 13 Assassins, Ichi the Killer, Dead or Alive, Zebraman and a looot of other cool movies! And Narimiya Hiroki (Nobu from the Nana-movies!) has the leading role as Phoenix Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo).
The story is about Ryuichi Naruhodo, a rookie defense attorney, who strives to protect his clients in various murder trials including the death of his mentor and the accusation of rival prosecutor, Reiji Mitsurugi. Ryūichi's greatest ally is Mayoi, a spirit medium whose body is posessed by her older sister to communicate with him.
Anyway, the movie will be released on 11 February. But it will be screened before at the International Film Festival Rotterdam (festival held at 25 January - 5 February) in the Netherlands. Watch the trailer, here at JUMI!
