Phoenix Wright Movie is Official - No Objections! on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

That's right Ace Attorney fans, a live action movie featuring Capcom's best defence attorney and prosecutor is hitting the big screen. The much-loved series was rumoured to be the latest project by director Takashi Miike of Crows Zero and Thirteen Assassins fame. It's now officially confirmed, and will be hitting Japanese cinemas in Spring next year. A localised edition has yet to be announced, but with the series having worldwide appeal expect at the very least fan-based subtitles.

Phoenix Wright will be played by Hiroki Narimiya, joined by Takumi Saito as Miles Edgeworth and assisted by adorable spirit medium Maya, cast as Mirei Kiritani.

Update: Capcom have released a very blurry teaser image from behind the scenes of the Ace Attorney movie, showing off the courtroom.

What do you think of the cast selection? What parts of the Phoenix Wright story would you like covered - or should it be a completely new adventure?

The faces themselves, I have nothing against. But they better have the right haircut (especially Phoenix), and the right outfit.

Awesomesauce! I hope they cover the entire Feenie -> Godot arc, that would be awesome! If not, spread over 2 or 3 movies. Can't wait!

Casting isn't too bad either. Both Edgeworth and Maya look convincing, though Phoenix a little odd!

Exciting! It's such a great movie opportunity - I mean, they even had a musical version of this, right?

Yes, really want to see Godot and Mia in there, but might be erm... a little tricky!

The characters look quite close without the costuming and everything, so good news on that front!

Piiiiii...ka.....SUEEEEEEE!

Hiroki Narimiya was also Tanimura in Yakuza 4.
