Objection: The Movie!

[incandescens]

They are making a Phoenix Wright movie.

. . . and it's being directed by Takashi Miike -- I'm not sure whether to be pleased or worried, but it might definitely be interesting. I believe they're doing the 4th case of game 1. I wonder who they'll be casting as Manfred von Karma . . .

Even if this will lack the glory of the Takarazuka production (group of singers in red chant, "Edgeworth!") it definitely, definitely interests me.

Edgeworth is being played by Saitou Takumi, so he will be very, very pretty, if naught else. And Miike ... well, he's hit or miss, but I'll give anything he does a try (will see Saitou in Miike's "13 Assassins" tomorrow).

It could be good, or it could be bad... one can only hope.

And if it does come out in early to mid 2012, at least we know what people will be cosplaying at Yaoicon that year. :)
