Last year we saw a trailer for Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判), a Japanese film based on the Ace Attorney character from a series of Nintendo DS video games. We didn't understand a word of it, but thought the visuals striking.
The film opened this past weekend in Japan — apparently to packed theaters — and while poking around we came across that very same trailer, but one where someone had annotated it, translating the text, dialog and voice-over. We've embedded that trailer below.
Gyakuten Saiban loosely follows the storyline of the first game in the series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. Hiroki Narimiya stars as Ryūichi Naruhodō, a defense attorney also known as Phoenix Wright, who finds himself in the middle of a 15-year-old murder mystery.
We think the film looks amazing. The director, Miike Takashi, has indicated he is looking for a worldwide release of the film but we have no specific information on when, or even whether, it will be available in the US.
