This movie project is
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney first big-screen outing and Takashi Miike has been reported to direct it.
Phoenix Wright was a renowned defense attorney who was famous for turning hopeless cases around, getting the defendant found innocent as well as finding the real killer. He handled many cases in his career; out of these, he lost once and his last case was postponed due to the defendant's disappearance. Wright's last trial saw him unknowingly present forged evidence, and thus he was disbarred.
Phoenix Wright has since become a piano player and poker player at the Borscht Bowl Club. As a poker player, he is undefeated, and he considers himself a professional. Wright is still involved in law, being instrumental in re-introducing the Jurist System into California law. He has also been a defendant himself at least three times in his life, and each time he hired a different lawyer.
