I saw this trailer just today (went to watch Stardust). When it just started, and I saw the courtroom panning scenes and the Japanese dialog and actors, I was "Holy shit! Phoenix Wright DOES have a live action movie!!"

Actually, it's for a movie called HERO, which is a continuation of a series of the same name.



So think Phoenix Wright, but in reverse!

Here's the link to the article: Link

You watch the trailer there too. Take note of the courtroom scenes and check it out! Kuryu has a lapel too X3

Edit: It opens in Singapore (and most of Asia) sometime this month, I forgot the date they showed. Not sure if I'd watch it, since I didn't know of this series before hand anyway =/ But if it's quirky enough, I just might.

Damn, that sounds good! I wish I could see it... T_T Thanks for the info!

Well, it got pretty good reviews from the magazines I've been reading. Even though I've never even heard of the series (I'm not very impressed by Kimura Takuya to be honest), it should be just quirky and different enough that it shouldn't mattered, heh.

Still, I was just so surprised at how the whole thing really felt like the courtscenes in Phoenix Wright. The placement of the defense lawyer and prosecutor and the judge.

Granted, PW is BASED on the Japanese court system; but I didn't really think it'll look EXACTLY the same (I assumed that they might have placed them differently to make it easier to play the game).
