Ace Attorney Toronto Premiere!
Where: Isabel Bader Theatre When: Sunday November 4 6:00 pm
NOTE: THIS IS A PUBLIC, SEPARATELY-TICKETED EVENT
Gamercamp is excited to secure the exclusive Toronto premiere of the film adaptation of cult hit adventure game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney by famed Japanese director Takashi Miike (Ichi The Killer, Audition, 13 Assassins).
Miike’s adaptation expands on the game’s story of a young lawyer given just three days to argue and solve the biggest case of his life, while blending the visual style with the director’s own manic sensibilities. The film has been declared by Kotaku as “the best videogame movie ever!” while IGN called it “a pitch-perfect adaptation.” Ace Attorney has shown to sold-out crowds at festivals in New York and Montreal and is sure to be similarly successful in Toronto.
Catch a special post-Gamercamp screening on Sunday November 4th at 6 PM, co-presented by Toronto After Dark, at the Isabel Bader Theatre (93 Charles St. W.). The film is a separately-ticketed event from Gamercamp, although attendees receive a discount for the Sunday screening.
