Yesterday Bash gave us the first still shot from Japan’s upcoming Phoenix Wright flick. Today, thanks to the sharp eyes of Kotaku tipster KingKellogg the Waffle Haggler, we see the first live action. There’s a lot of Japanese in this, and that goes for the cross-talk as well as the dialogue. One word, however, seems very familiar.

Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 7:16 PMImpressively, it doesn’t seem bad at all and I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. But the one thing I dislike from this video is PHOENIX WRIGHT’S HAIR ISN’T SPIKY ENOUGH!!!!!!!

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 2:54 AMHoly shit, I don’t know the first thing about these games, but the bit where he threw the holograph through the dude’s face… and he physically reacted?? Oh my god, I HAVE to see this movie.

Sunday, October 30, 2011 at 6:29 PMThis film would have benefited greatly from an international cast, and it shows – Manfred, Lotta Hart and Butz all look like they walked out of TGS.

Monday, October 31, 2011 at 6:05 PMMaybe that’s because with the exception of Manfred, all those characters are Japanese in the Japanese version of the game?
