007 is back. This fall, Daniel Craig James returns as James Bond, along with Judi Dench, Albert Finney, and Ralph Fiennes.

Gyakuten Saiban — the movie based on Capcom’s visual novel series, Ace Attorney — was released in Japan to sold-out theatres this past weekend. Staying closer to the source material than any video game movie before it, does this film prove that games can successfully be adapted into movies or does it reiterate the idea that games and movies are fundamentally incompatible forms of art?

Disney’s upcoming Wreck-It-Ralph is “the story of an arcade game Bad Guy determined to prove he can be a Good Guy.” Rich Moore, an animation director whose credits include The Simpsons, Futurama and The Critic, is directing. John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch are lending their vocal talents to the flick, with Reilly playing the bad guy Wreck-It Ralph.
Hitting Japanese theatres next month, the Phoenix Wright movie could get a global release. According to the movie’s director, there are plans for international versions with subs and dubs for each region. Court-Records Thanks, Robert!]
