After all cartoons there's comming a movie.

I heard that they stick to the story from the cartoonseries, so thats a good point.

Hmmm, from what I heard is that Natsuki (Takumi's gf) is Ryosuke's gf in the live action. This is a major difference in storyline since she plays a big role in Takumi's skill development. E.g. blowing up his engine out of anger and regretting to do so because in his opinion the car died and will never be the same.

The movie will be filmed in Japan and China, racing scenes are probably all set in Akagi. Other scenes will be filmed in China and the movie will be in Cantonese.

remember the TFATF-effect?

No way that a Hollywood production would be better for 'us' AE86 drivers/enthusiasts.

Yeah I rather have a HK production than a Hollywood production aswell. Hollywood will make this into one pumped up "this is a cross between tokyopop translation and hiphop tough guy street raceing scene" movie. Can you just picture it, Takumi with tattoo's, Iketani drives a mustang instead of a S13, Kenji has a hummer with 24" wheels with those spinner rimms, and after a booring night out at the local mountain they end up in vegas' desert to do some quick 10 second quarter miles.

Thats Initial D hollywood style! If you can drift with 900+hp, why bother with a 130hp car?!?

One only has to view Tokyo pops english dubbed version to know where that would be headed to.

With a HK/Japan production you can be pretty sure they atleast stick pretty close to the original feel of the series. Sure they will have to change the story, you have no choice, you cant fit 38 episodes into a 1.5 hour feature film and keep it good.

People tent to forget that the only reason HK and Japanese movies are not very popular here is not because they are not good, its because the Asian style of movies does not appeal to us westeners, we dont relate to it. Only a fraction of the anime movies comming out in Japan makes it here because they will be bought by the masses. Pokomon, dragonball Z, digimon, you name it. You wont see Oh My Goddess appear on TV very soon eventhough its a brilliant series, same with GTO (no not a pontiac!) which is one of the best series I've seen but wont be understood or liked if you have no interest in japanese culture. Same with HK productions, I've seen a couple because my GF is HK which are brilliant, but they wont hit mainstream here because they do not appeal to us westeners.

Heck even here in Holland they tried to make a HK styled movie called Fighting Fish. Any martial arts loving person would enjoy that movie, but it flopped desparately because the target group is 0.000001% of the dutch population. It probably does do well in HKSmile (oh yeah, and I liked fighting fishSmile, it was a nice movie, not great, but very nice).

Initial D is basically the same, it is only liked by people who like drifting (although many didn't know they liked drifting until they've seen initial DSmile). But still that is a relatively small group of people. Thats why you wont see Initial D on the telly (unless maybe now in the USA in glorious american dub), it just wont hit high enough ratings for that.

I doubt the movie will even be released outside of asia, we'll only be getting it fansubbed as usual...

But that's not a problem i think...
Keep it "underground" so that not all of those VW Golf Ricers want to drift too.

5 years ago almost everyone walked completely beside an RX7 or a Supra and called them "Japanese Junk"

But now, every ricerboi gets a hard one from those TFATF cars.
i hope that that isn't going to happen with the AE86 (and S13 and so on).
