I think this shows off an interesting difference between American video game movies and Japanese ones. American adaptations always seem to redesign the characters until they're nearly unrecognizable, but this movie it's like they put on Phoenix Wright Halloween costumes, totally accurate no matter how campy they might look
Having played the first game on iOS this looks like an adaption in the vein of the Scott pilgrim movie and I mean that in the best possible way.
I really hate when I see videos like these. I wish they would shown the trailer by itself, THEN talk about it. Having them watch it and scream all the way through is downright annoying.
Ugh, why do they have to use young doll-faced teenage actors for Phoenix and Miles? For me I always imagined the actor for both of them to actually be men rather than boys; like Narita Ken or Tomokazu Sugita. While they're at it, Norio Wakamoto as the police superintendent.
But eh, most likely will not watch it, for the same reason I didn't watch the live-action Death Note movies.

In any case, in the games, both Phoenix and Miles are in their mid-20s. Why would middle-aged actors be picked to play them? That's just backwards.

I didn't know the actors' respective ages. I had assumed they are younger, but my point is still that the actors chosen to play them isn't really what I had thought would carry the image of Phoenix and Miles. Granted the ages match, but their faces sure ain't molded in the same image.

Both Phoenix and Miles are incredibly young and fresh-faced. Phoenix especially is very expressive and naive. An actor who looked "seasoned" would betray the character's behavior.

...I couldn't really tell anything because of the damn excited Japanese people, but the footage looks excellent.
MY GOD, LOTTA.
MY GOD, LOTTA.
So, second and last case of the original Ace Attorney, seems like?
Mia seems to die somewhere along the way, and the boat scene, DL6 and Manfred Von Karma say that Edgeworth's trial is in there. I can't wait for the talking Parrot. :P
I can't quite place the woman at 1:27 though. The one between what are clearly Lotta Heart and the Butz.
Anyone have an idea?

I think this looks great, hope there's a translation eventually. God, this makes me think maybe Miike should be the one doing the Akira remake (never thought I'd be saying that).

If your a fan of the games I wouldve thought youd want the film to be sucessful for the sake of the franchise which is struggling atm
Also, the Death Note films were brilliant, youre missing out

Wait, Takashi Miike is making this movie? WHAT?!
Holy fucking shit this movie is going to be awesome, and I've never even played the Ace Attorney games.

I'm. . .not really sure what to think about this. On one hand, it looks terribly campy. Like Dick Tracy campy circa 1990. On the other hand, it's quite possible that the movie might end up okay, considering that Takashi Miike is directing it. I don't know. I can't really decide to be outraged or cautiously optimistic.
haha, I think they took the costumes a bit to literal from the games. Edgeworth looks ridiculous! That hair...that long beautiful hair.
errr ehem, I mean, they could have just slicked back Phoenix's hair and I would have been ok with that, but they had to give him that crazy as shit hair line. It's so sharp o.o

Is it wrong that I wasn't completely into this movie until I saw that live-action Blue Badger? Looks like they'll be incorporating a lot from the mythos. Hope it does well; can't wait to see Godot.
Also, Sammo Hung-alike Manfred von Karma is hilarious in my mind.
