This, admittedly, looks a bit stupid due to how serious it is, but my god. This could finally be the movie to break the mold of shitty game adaptations.
I like Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton and looking forward to the cross-over, but this looks like a bunch of Japanese cosplayers doing very bad acting.
Miike is an awesome director-for-hire, I wouldn't be surprised if he'd never touched the games before this.

I can not describe the fervor and excitement I feel for this film. Do you guys remember how the religious nuts got all batshit when rapture was supposed to happen? I feel the same way they did...only I have exact evidence that my rapture is real :D

It's so strange seeing the characters represented by real people... Specially because they're oriental...
But I totally want to see this movie.

So, I think I only saw a hint of Gumshoe in there, and I think he was Asian. Gumshoe isn't Asian. I"M NOT WATCHING THIS MOVIE.
I'm lying. I hope it get's subtitles very fast.

What I love about Japanese movie guys is the fact that stuff that works in games or anime doesn't work as well on the big screen doesn't stop them from making movies. From what I've seen in this trailer, Ace Attorney is so close to the source material (wich was absurd even for a game), it's a bit terrifying even, and that's the only reason I need to watch this gem.
Blaster Master movie would be a blast, also butter. There's a real potential to exploit a "lonely man and his tank" theme, I think theres a good chance that movie would turn out pretty great.

Is it just me, or is that trailer kind of.. dark? I don't mean in tone, The Ace Attorney games can be pretty bleak at times, but that trailer just didn't have enough... color to me. Might just be me though.
On the upside, it looks great. I instantly recognized everyone and every event that happened. I hope the music's faithful as well, though I'm not terribly worried about that. Also, Detective Dick Gumshoe, pals. (P.S. Was that Damon Gant's office at 0:28?)

Even more glorious now that there isn't random screaming.
Also, the way they recreated the hairstyles is just awesome.
AWESOME! HOOO!

Video games and movies don't always work, this is one of the situations where it doesn't. The actors are far too serious, but at the same time they look really silly to me. It just isn't working out for me.
Miike's the man. I just hope this turns out a little better than Like a Dragon. That movie got bogged down with a lot of unnecessary crap.
I was all about Blaster Master in the NES days. I don't know how a movie about a dude that can get in and out of a tank will be all that interesting though.

Jonathan, I can't thank you enough for getting me into this series. This is now my most anticipated movie of the EVER.

I don't think the majority of them are supposed to be Japanese, but that isn't stopping this from looking amazing.

I would highly recommend 13 Assassins for any Miike fan. It's far less surreal than his other works, but is still undoubtedly his movie. It's like a classic samurai movie but with a crazy 50 minute fight scene at the end. His other movie (dude makes like 3 movies a year) is supposed to be another played-straight samurai movie in 3D, and it one best foreign film at Cannes, so I'm hype. Also, this looks pretty G.
According to what I have studied with what I know, the movie is apparently just the same four cases from the first game adapted into a movie. Now that I know that, I have a good feeling this game will be great, if not just fine.
If fact, I think writers of Video Game Movies should take note: You shouldn't have to craft an original script from what you've played. If you really love the game/Series, ETC, take the story and adapt it with actors in front of a camera. We don't read Fight Club/A Clockwork Orange/The Scarlet Letter/ETC to see the movie be about Tyler Durden being an astronaut on the planet Test-Icicles. We go to see Fight Club happen as it did in the book. I think video game movies can, and should, do the same thing that we expect from Books, deviating from the source material when its either better for the movie or insignificant to the overall experience.
Either way, now that I've got that all out, I really hope this turns out to be great. I'll settle for Good too. Also, I want English Subtitles and I'll preorder the Blu-Ray NOW.

And this is exactly why I love japanese movies. They take the medium of cinema and just run with it. Most American films have to be grounded in a close reality to our own. Japan, hell no. They're all over the place and if they want people to start flying while singing a song they'll do it. They seem to know movies are an escape and shouldn't exactly be taken so seriously.
Somehow, this is more interesting to me than some of the actual Ace Attorney games I have tried to play. Looks awesome. lol!
@Noir I think playing it straight was the best option. In the games they dont lose tone because of all the silliness and niether should the film :P
Iconic scenes like the boat murder or Maya pushing back Mias hair after she died wouldnt work if the rest of the film had the actors not preforming the roles in character

Playing it straight up, like Adam Duffield said, is the best thing to do. Just like the games...the hair, the costumes, the sound effects, the absurdity...everything keeps intact from start to finish.
The beauty of this approach is that, yes, while it may look ridiculous at first glance and for the first half hour, the style WILL sink into you for the rest of the story... and from then on it's the script and characters that hold your interest. The first case in the first game, for instance, doesn't take itself seriously and comes off rather comical, appropriately. But starting with the 2nd case and Mia's death, and working up all the way to the dramatic 4th case, sh*t gets very real and inescapably intense.
That's the beauty of Ace Attorney.

Oh god everyone and I mean ABSOLUTELY FREAKING EVERYONE looks exactly like out of the game! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about how great this is looking to turn out! I especially like the addition of more advanced technology to make the "fights" in court look a bit more believable (as it's implied that Ace Attorney takes place in a universe similar to ours but a bit more advanced technologically).
If it was Hollywood it'd make everyone look like something out of Law & Order and ruin the whole thing.
@Noir: Have you played the games? If you had, you wouldn't be thinking like that; the character's unique designs are believable in their own world, which while almost similar to ours still has its differences, although subtle. This is no sillier than having knight armor and swords in a Tolkien movie; it has its place in context with the movie/game world.

Wow, looks awesome!
It's gonna be interesting to see if Japan can make better video game movies than America.

I dunno about "nailed it", I mean ... seems very dark. And I don't mean moody, I mean in lighting. The character clothing in particular. Where's Phoenix's blue suit, and Edgeworth's red? Still looks really cool though.
