Objection!! We all knew the live-action Pheonix Wright(Gyakuten Saiban) movie was being made in Japan, and with mixed thoughts, fans eventually rallied behind the movie worldwide. It was released in theaters in Japan four days ago, but we finally get to see some light in the States.

It was announced that the movie will make it over to U.S. theaters, but no date or info has been out since then. The Anime convention, AM2 (Anime, Music, Manga), has announced it will be showing the movie twice; one exclusively for its passport holders, then again for the general public, with passport holders having first-in-line privileges. The movie will be subtitled with Japanese dialogue.

2012 will be AM2′s second year as a 3-day convention at the Anaheim Convention Center on June 15th-17th.

AM2 is a free open convention for people to attend, but it does have events that require passport for attendance such as special meet and greets and concerts.

If we ever get a U.S. version, maybe we can get UltraDavid to fill the role of Phoenix.
