"Speaking to reporters during the Cannes film festival, director Takashi Miike (Audition, Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai, and a million other things) announced his next film: 'It is a very light comedy that I am filming now,' as the Huffington Post quotes him, 'a court drama, based on a video game, the Nintendo game DS.'"

As long as there's plenty of Gumshoe (and he's not being brutally murdered), I'm down.

There was already a thread made for this, but yeah I am super excited if Miike is actually doing it.

It will be all fun and games until someone has their face sliced off.

I will be watching that movie as soon as I can. Should be pretty funny.

Is this real life?
 
 I must be dreaming. This is surreal for sure.

just read this earlier, is this isnt a mind blown moment, i dont know what is

The court will be pouring red. Color me surprised.

That's perfect.
