Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike is difficult to understand. The creator of some of the most disturbing films of the world (see: hearing, Ichi the Killer) has also proved itself capable of more playful storytelling, even those friendly to the family. This is probably the other side, which is not interested in paste dismembered half human in bags, who is currently working on an adaptation of an action and non-violent game Nintendo DS.
Miike did not identify the game by his title in his interview with the Huffington Post at the Cannes Festival in 2011. He said that this next project will feature "blood," describing as "a very mild comedy… a court drama, based on a video game [Nintendo DS].". This description of the material source as a "Court drama" narrows the range of possibilities to one: Ace Attorney.
The unusual series of games, known to the Japan as Gyakuten Saiban, tasks players with working as a lawyer of the defence in the Japanese legal system. It is not actually compare with any other game out there, although the title of Rockstar recently published Games, L.A. Noire, has clearly draws some inspiration from Ace Attorney with interrogation and clue mechanical management. It is difficult to say exactly how big screen adaptation will cling to the spirit of the game without feeling too much like a dry courtroom drama, but Miike has proven itself to be constantly inventive as a filmmaker.
The Director was at the Cannes Film Festival to promote Hara-Kiri: death of a Samurai, a 3D production that has more in common with work such as Ichi the killer. How Miike is able to easily change the gears is a mystery. It may not be easy to move from a production that begins with an extended sequence in which a man commits ritual suicide, which is focused on entertaining game and families with shenanigans fans light courtroom.
