The numerous Nintendo DS games centered around "Professor Layton" have now become a true box office hit. It hardly seems surprising, then, that a film based on the game followed.
The production of "Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva" was handled by none other than Pokémon producer Masakazu Kubo himself. The story did not hit theaters, but it is still set to release on DVD and Blu-ray by the end of May.
The story follows a professor who receives a letter from one of his former students. In it, she tells him about her friend Jenis Quatlane—a celebrated opera singer. The young student also reports that her friend died a year ago and has returned in the form of a seven-year-old girl, now claiming to have attained eternal life.
The two hesitate only briefly and immediately set out to uncover the mystery of the deceased. In the process, they learn that the opera is a new composition by a pianist who based his work primarily on the research of Layton’s mentor. The opera revolves around the legend of the Kingdom of Ambrosia—the land of eternal life. The two investigators quickly realize that the visitors are attending the famous opera for only one reason: they themselves seek to obtain eternal life.
