Yesterday Olivia posted the first image of Hiroli Narimiya on the set of the Japanese Phoenix Wright. We now have footage from the film, and it's just as ridiculous as you'd expect.
It seems like the film is going to remain very faithful to the game, at least visually. I can appreciate that. It would be just as silly if the adaptation went in a serious, John Grisham type of direction, but boy oh boy does this movie look awful. I think that Phoenix Wright would have worked quite well as an animated series, a kind of Saturday morning cartoon Law & Order, but there are some things that don't translate into live-action. The haircuts should have been the first sign of trouble.
