Its the making of the live action Initial D movie, starring Jay chow (barf) as takumi.

I sure hope its good.

So they're actually goin through with it now? I have many doubts that its gonna suck, but hey. Lets wait and see.

[HongKongChick]

yea the previous company thought the budget was tooooooooo huge, so they backed out. so now, another company is doing it.



Jay as Takumi Fujiwara



Edison as Ryousuke Takahashi

Stephan as Seiji Iwaki



suzuki anne as Natsuki Mogi

many of these are hong kong actors, except for one taiwanese actor and a japanese actress. so i will assume it to be in cantonese, coz at least it's alot easier to get the japanese girl to speak cantonese for a little bit than to make all those chinese actors to speak japanese!

[KDashy]

Yeah, the original production company was Hong Kong based, I assume the current one is as well.

[HongKongChick]

yup. i think the previous one was owned by Andy Lau..

Damn, Suzuki Anne is hot. Takumi's hair is too long.

If they get the cars and driving right, everything else is just details. They'd better pick a good Bunta.

Damn, Suzuki Anne is hot.

There's a good reason to go see the movie right there.

Awesome info. I'm a big fan of the manga... I don't really watch the anime much. I wonder who will play Iggy... that annoying little bastard. Any idea of a release date?

The trailer looks alright!

Wow really cool i think i saw bunta about 80% through the trailer somewhere... And I hope they come out with an english subtitle version or something, because they look like they actually spent some money on good drivers and real nice cars and stuff.

This guy is gonna be Bunta, Anthony Wong



and this guy is gonna be iggy, Edward To



and this is what i believe the poster

Thanks HKChick!Bunta doesn't look quite old enough... Iggy looks a little too old... but hey, it's good enough. I'm just glad it didn't land in the hands of a US production company who would undoubtedly "Fast & Furious"-ize it with ridiculously inaccurate terminology, crappy aesthetics and terrible acting.

looks like its going to be good!

[wickedpelf]

i think this movie is going to be the sh1t...i hope the bring it over here...and just subtitle it, it would be stupid if the dubbed it over...too much like the old school kung fu movies, oh and hongkongchick is pretty hott too...but thats just my opinion lol

2 things.

1) It may still yet...

2)Its possible that they WOULDNT eff it up if we made it here, but most likely they would...

[Chingon]

hopefully they'll stick to the story and not pull a "dragon ball" movie.

[Clatch]

They better have the blue Sil80 with gold mesh rims in the movie dammit.

[Doomed2Walk]

So a new company is doing it? I heard Jackie Chan was producing, is that from the old one?
