| 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 http://facebook.com/go2id/photos/832764453405888 Image size reduced, original size: 1000 x 1160. https://idforums.net/images/initialdliveaction2mediaasia.jpg to view the image in its original dimension. |

| I'm so excited!! it seems like a lot is happening for Initial D this year. Why do you think? Is Initial D still as popular as it used to be? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Mar 26 2014, 10:10 AM | ||
Excellent. I can't wait for more news.
It's probably because the series ended last year. |

| OH MAN! Edison Chen is back as the Takahashi brothers? This movie will be good regardless. I've been waiting years for this! With all this Initial D related news, now is a good time to be an Initial D fan. |

| You know, it's been like 10 years. Unless they have all aged well, I have to imagine they're gonna look pretty different. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 Mar 26 2014, 10:44 AM | ||
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.  |

When did it end?? I thought the final stage was not out yet and the 5th stage ended last year but with a open ending... [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |

The manga ended last year. |

It's okay, I feel for you. I did the same thing too once. |

| Nice !! 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. |
| Posted by: Saint Mar 30 2014, 05:30 AM |
Meh, Simon Yam as Joshima and Chen Dao Ming as Hoshino. That's as bad as having Jay Chou as Takumi.  |

| Can u guys clear this up for me. So there's gona be a final stage , A anime movie, and now a new live action movie? |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Mar 31 2014, 02:08 PM | ||
That's correct. |

| 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 |

Not sure if this official, seen this floating around FB. So they decided to add Keisuke. Image size reduced, original size: 694 x 960. http://i61.tinypic.com/5yf349.png to view the image in its original dimension. |

| 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. |
| Posted by: kyonpalm Jul 10 2014, 12:10 PM |
| 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. |
| Posted by: THE_HONDA_CG2 Jul 10 2014, 01:37 PM |
That would be a very interesting spin on the series that I would love to watch. Edison Chen is so dreamy.......  |

| Anne Suzuki's not coming back, eh? Can't say Wakana's not a bad choice, but... |
| Posted by: MonkeyWrenchd Jul 12 2014, 02:50 AM |
| 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.  |
| Posted by: Takahashi Rensuki Jul 22 2014, 10:36 AM |
There isn't going to be a Keisuke because his charcter is mixed with Nakazto and Ryosuke.  |
| Posted by: Tessou Jul 22 2014, 11:25 AM |
I already said that. Other people already said that. The director and star of the movie already said that. |

well played, sir *clap clap*  |
| Posted by: Tessou Apr 1 2015, 08:00 PM |
Falbere, you need to link it elsewhere like bit ly or tinyurl before putting it on here. Defeats the illusion when you can plainly see that it sends you to Youtube.  However, I am certainly never gonna give you up. |
