) than god himself: Chuck Norris!Seriously, though, I think that 2-4 would make a great movie and I probably agree that live action might not work, but it doesn't stop us speculating about the cast.

Reasoning:
1-4: What makes 1-4 so great is seeing Edgy's change over the course of the game. It's also nice to be introduced to Larry in 1-1. So I don't think it would work well standalone.
1-5: On the other hand, 1-5 would work well as a standalone, because it is a standalone, developed after the other games.
2-4: The main problem with 2-4 is Franziska. Since we can't see her in 2-2 and 2-3, what she would do would be kinda meaningless. Edgy is also more fun in 2-4 if you experienced him in AA :D
3-5: Considering 3-5 is connected to just about every single other case in the entire series... no.
All of AJ: Prolly 'cause it's its own game. 4-1 could be the intro to the movie; you need it to introduce Phoenix, Polly, and Kristoph. They could probably even change it around so that Trucy gets a major role, and end with Polly joining Wright Anything Agency. Then they could skip 4-2 and 4-3 completely (or just give a passing mention), and then go into 4-4, the main part of the movie.
(tl;dr version: 4-4 is connected to other cases--mostly 4-1--but that can be condensed and altered so there's still plenty of time for 4-4)

True, very true, but my only problem is Phoenix. Part of what made AJ so interesting was Phoenix's change from lawyer to "hobo," so I'm not sure that introducing him as the hobo would have the same emotional impact on those who don't know of his past. Sure, flashbacks work, but it's not quite the same. ^^;

So, for crack ideas...
A trilogy would be a decent fit. The first movie would cover 1-2 and 1-4 with a particular focus on 1-4. The second movie would mostly be about 2-2 to introduce the Fey family feud. The third movie would revolve around 3-5 with flashbacks to 3-1 and 3-4. 1-5 and 2-4 would also make good movies.
But I think a TV series would be even better. That way no case would be left out.
I don't know about the director... Sam Raimi, perhaps? I think superhero movies in general are a good inspiration for that kind of adaptation. Just like comic books, AA has over-the-top characters, unrealistic situations in a (more or less) realistic setting and a distinctive visual style / narrative rhythm. There are different ways to deal with this problem, and films such as Batman Returns or The Dark Knight are all interesting points of view on the subject.
As for the actors, I'll have to think about it. First of all, great villains are essential of such an adaptation. Many actors like Christopher Lee or Anthony Hopkins could be cast as Von Karma, but my favourite would have to be Clint Eastwood (the grumpy, Gran Torino version). I could really see Jimmy Smits (think Miguel Prado, not Matt Santos) as Damon Gant. Gant isn't exactly white, but he's not black either (he's probably just tanned), so a Latino makes sense. Smits is relatively tall, muscular, and he's used to playing charming bastards who are convinced what they're doing is right. The only problem is age (he's 53) but with the proper costume / hairdo no one would notice. Besides, Gant looks young for his age. That's all I can think of at the moment.

No! Brian Blessed to play Gant. Ron Delite is small, weedy and quiet: everything Brian Blessed isn't!

On a more serious note, Edward Norton as Phoenix. But I'm in fucking love with Norton and I was just looking for a hole to squeeze him into.

Come on, you know as well as I do Engarde deserves better than that. I almost thought Aaron Eckhart for a second before I realized he'd make a better Kristoph.
Powers is cool, he's cool. No objections, all puns intended.
Giggle.
I'm sorry, the idea is amusing.

Then again, I detest Matt, so perhaps that is why.
Hugh Laurie would make a better .... dammit, I don't know D: I almost want to say Gumshoe due to Laurie's previous acts as Wooster, but they don't have the same build at all.
If he hasn't past away, for some reason I can see Christopher Lloyd playing Manfred von Karma, or Christpher Lee....

should be played by Brad Garrett, simply because I think they have the same voice.

Plus, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-4 actually make sense, save for the statute-of-limitations thing. If the summoners didn't change shape, that wouldn't affect the plot in the least, making it easily doable.
As for actors...I don;t watch enough movies myself to think of any good choices. But all ethnic characters need to be played right, like the germans and the Feys (regardless of the location, they're stil japanese, perhaps immigrants.)
