Initial D Live Action
EmperorX:
I was just wondering it LIVE-EVIL were going to be doing the Initial D Live Action Movie as one of there projects, since they do such a good job at the Anime

Firstly can you urr resize your avator please ? ^_^
Secondly and I will say this in big letters
THERE ARE NO PLANS AT THIS TIME TO SUB THE LIVE ACTION MOVIE.
It would for the most part depend on the official Chinese release. Some of the chinese movies have english subtitles. If it turns out the official chinese release has english subtitles and this is just *my* opinion though I think there would be a reluctance to fansub it and instead we would encourage you to get the official release.
If a decision was taken to subtitle the Live action movie I would doubt that we would announce that we are subbing it before the movie is actually released due to the intense scrutiny / pressue that it would incur from the Initial D fandom "Is it done yet" type questions would be aboud. So my personal hunch is the first thing you would know of our intention to sub it would be a torrent.
As for whether we sub the original Chinese or the Japanese version, this again would be up for debate. It would be up to our Initial D translator whether or not he wanted to translate the Japanese dub of the movie HOWEVER it might not be as accurate as subtitling the original chinese version as some of the details would have been lost in the dubbing.
If we decided to sub the chinese version of the movie again this would be dependant on finding a Chinese to English translator who could accurately translate all of the car terminology in to English. Initial D at times can be very technical so any potential translator would have to be able to demonstrate fluency in car related terms in both Chinese and English and preferably KNOW about cars too to ensure that the best quality translation was done.
However to cut a long story short, the answer to your question is - we haven't decided yet and there are a few issues to work through if we did decide to do it.

I've confirmed the release of the IDLA movie has many subtitles but NOT english... I suppose Enhlish subs will be added to the DVD release of it... But even then, you'd most likely have to import it...
If anyone would want a link to the raws... feel free to PM me and I'll send a link your way..
Although I would not recommend this movie to any Initial D fan... Even though I didn't understand a thing.. It's pretty obvious this movie sucked....
*movie spoilers*
Keisuke is now pretty much replaced by Nakazato... Even though he's supposed to be form another crew...
Bunta is now a Drunk instead of the Drift King...
For some reason a girl is now working at the Gas station... o.O Odd...
And many more things that I don't feel like pointing out...

They have a US based website with free shipping. They pretty much carry all of the latest Chinese and Hong Kong movies so it would be VERY easy to buy the Initial D Movie if the DVD release had english subs on it AND some of the prices are ridiculously low too o.O.
Oh and dont forget about the free shipping offer too XD. Oh and before anyone says Yesaisa is a bootlegger or such like and not to be trusted nearly ALL my Japanese Region 2's have come from then and they have all been the legit deal and never apart from once case ever had any trouble getting them delivered.
