IDW Facebook Fanpage Group: Staff Posts: 383 Member No.: 37,931 Joined: Sep 27th 2011 Location: Initial D World | Initial D Live Action Movie 2 News: 寰亞電影 Media Asia Distribution Ltd, a Hong Kong films production company and distributor, released a 20th anniversary promotional clip yesterday highlighting all of the movies they released in the past two decades. Media Asia Entertainment Group is the company that made Initial D Live Action movie back in 2005. The movie was directed by Andrew Lau (劉偉強) and starred many big stars such as Jay Chou, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue and Anthony Wong. There had always been rumors of a second Live Action movie in the making, but nothing solid ever came to light, until yesterday of course. In this 4-minute promotional clip, Media Asia confirmed that Live Action movie 2 is currently in the making. Here is the tentative cast list: 周杰倫 Jay Chou as Takumi Fujiwara Edison Chen (陳冠希) as Ryousuke / Keisuke Takahashi Ekin Cheng (鄭伊健) as Wataru Akiyama Wakana Matsumoto (松本若菜) as Natsuki Mogi Anthony Wong (黃秋生) as Bunta Fujiwara Daoming Chen (陳道明) as Kozo Hoshino Simon Yam (任達華) as Toshiya Joushima Jay Chou's assistant has already confirmed that he will be both acting in and directing Initial D 2. As you can see from the cast list, the storyline will be most likely taking place in Initial D Fourth Stage where Project.D challenges the Purple Shadow. Besides the confirmation that the film is being in production, there is no other further information, but it's believed that the movie will be released in 2015, on the 20th year since the debut of the first Initial D manga volume. | Sources | » 《寰亞電影二十周年》宣傳短片 | https://youtube.com/watch?v=VxCMQu2x6-4 » 头文字d2 百度百科 | http://baike.baidu.com/view/4439534.htm#2 » 寰亞電影 Media Asia Distribution Ltd | http://facebook.com/MediaAsia Image size reduced, original size: 1000 x 1160.

It's probably because the series ended last year. | ||

They're Asians. They don't age. Take it from me. I'm 21 and people still think I look like a high school student. | ||

It''s fine that they aged as they looked aged in the series too compared to when it was the first movie. So Ryosuke probably taking over Keisuke's role, hopefully they use the FD ! Wonder how they will handle Takumi's victory over Joshima, wouldn't be that good if the climax/ending of the film ended with Takumi's messing up his car and winning when Joshima gets sick.. Super excited Jay Chou is director, his first directed movie Secret is absolutely amazing and seccond one Rooftop ain't bad either. |

ざけんなよ! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 708 Member No.: 13,218 Joined: Oct 2nd 2005 Location: 愛知県 | I've seen a few movies directed by Jay Chou before, and they're not all that bad. Plus, he's a gear head. I'm pretty sure the tone of the second movie won't be so HK-style (can't say for the drunk violent Bunta). It still feels pretty weird that Ryosuke and Keisuke's characters morphed into one |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | It's not official, and Media Asia has even gone as far as listing Edison Chen as playing "Ryosuke Takahashi / Keisuke Takahashi" since the first film basically melded the two characters together into one. Kogashiwa has also not been confirmed. There is nothing new about this film since it was originally announced. |

Professional Amateur Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 10,568 Member No.: 30,882 Joined: Oct 16th 2008 Location: Laniakea | I hadn't actually considered how they would deal with Keisuke's character in the sequel, considering he was merged with Ryosuke in the first. I guess they're going to change the story so that Project D's two aces are Takumi and Ryosuke. |

IDW Regular Member Group: Members Posts: 202 Member No.: 43,964 Joined: Jun 21st 2014 Location: Update Profile | Ekin Cheng as Wataru seems decent but a bit too old though. Also, I think Keisuke's role was more merged with Nakazato than Ryosuke seeing it's the first rival Takumi race against. The Purple Shadow cast doesn't look too good. Kogashiwa's actor looks nothing like Kogashiwa and Keisuke's actor looks doesn't do justice for Keisuke unless the actor gets thinner. |
