Media Asia Films has recently revealed its HK$100m manga adaptation Initial D at a press conference in Japan. The event was graced by a stellar guest list, including the film’s directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, as well as their Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and Japanese cast of Edison Chen, Jay Chou, Anne Suzuki, Anthony Wong, Chapman To, Kenny Bee, Jordan Chan and Shawn Yue. Mr. Peter Lam, chairman of Media Asia Group, was also present to support the gang.

Initial D is Jay Chou’s theatrical debut, and this nuanced leading man naturally became the media’s attention. “There’re lots of racing scenes in the film,” the pop idol said jokingly, “but fortunately the ubiquitous paparazzi has perfected my driving skill.”

well its a honky production, so it'll be unadultered by the yanks with their "live my life 1/4 mile at a time... bruh" shit. So should be true to the original anime series.

Apparently they've finished shooting...

think this one's gonna be a special FX movie than a live action drift movie... its already got a huge FX budget, and one of HK's best animation studio's workin on it.

i really doubt hk's ability to make this type of movie ... i've seen lots of hk films ... and lets just say i've seen lots of crap ones .. (some good ones .. but mostly crap imho) ... i hope its good ... jay chou can sorta sing ... never seen him act ... it'd be funny for asian people who can understand ... u got hk people, taiwanese people, then u got japanese ... hows that going to work??

if the movie is a hit i might put my original Initial D manga up for sale (which the anime series is based on) which I picked up for a 3 bucks when I went to Japan in highschool :)

I think the producers and marketing execs realise that there's a HUGE potential for spinoffs and merchandise, not only in japan but also in most asian countries (coz the stars are from most of the major asian countires) AND in western countries where the initial D series is a hit (albeit with "bruh" dropping voiceovers and wierd hip hop soundtracks). So if they fux0r the movie then all that is lost, so I'm sure they'll make a good attempt of it and won't let the budget stop em.

Hmmmm, I watched a lot of crappy HK movies...

I hope they don't make Natsuki into some whiney Honky chick instead of multitasking jailbait like she should be! I don't think HK cinema can cope with her as she was in the Anime.

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
