Knew about this since last yr. stars jay chow as takumi, edison chen as ryosuke, chapman to as itsuki, anthony wong as bunta, jordan chan as sudo kyouchi, and a few other honkie celebrities.
-
hmmm....edison chen as ryosuke.....
i think he would've made a better keisuke....MUCH better keisuke....*shrug*
oh and weird lineup , everyone is mainly canto speaking from hk, where as jay's mandarin. hrm.....i guess jay chou as takumi means mandarin?
-
I'm wondering could he really drift like Takumi?
If he could it'd be nice to see.
-
omg....... a real life ey??? thats MAD!!!
-
I have seen real-life drifting here but to do drifting to the extreme like takumi, I haven't seen in real life. Extreme in the sense of drifting with the vehicle so close to the road barrel, that's going to take one rich crazy drifter to do so in real life......
I hope to see too...
-
I actually had a DVD extra of the guy they got to do drifting for the 3rd stage's sound effects and he is crazy. I can't remember, but I think he is the guy from the drift bible. if someone knows for sure I would love to find out.
anyways he is one of the best people out there doing it, so I would hope they get him or someone like him to design the stunts?
though most likley we are over looking one fine point... They could just CG it all since the cartoon does.
Bummer.

Keiichi Tsuchiya, the drift king
He is my GOD
I worship him
Yeah, i hope they dont CG it like in the Legend of Speed
It looked alright seeing the evo and wrx drift the corner but you can tell its fake.
-
nah i reckon CG would be the only way to allow the drifting to be anywhere near as good as in the anime, and that's what its all about anyway.
-
So wat ever happend to Keisuke's role n e ways? I've only seen the other ppl. Also, I think if its a HK film, then they might dub over Jay Chou's voice cuz he only speaks mandarin
-
yeah i hope cantonese will be one of the languages it will be released in..so i can understand without subtitles!
-

Nope... Probably not just CG. Expect some real driving. Watch any Drift Tengoku, or any Option video. There are people that can drift that good. Someone above mentioned "the drift king." He's retired... Kiechi doesn't slide anymore anyway. He's retired and all the drifting he does is judging for D1 now, and works with Option. Orido drives more than he does. Look at Ueo Katsuhiro, or Immamura, or Nomuken? Can't forget taniguchi either... there are TONS of awesome drivers. In the US Vaughn Gitten JR, Chris Foresberg, Tony Angelo, Alex Phifer, Ken Gushi... should I go on? Any one of them could easily do some of the driving. While yes the anime is unrealistic, well was but now 4th stage introduced REALISTIC roads that are bumpty, and not perfect so it's not as unrealistic as it once was... You'll notice that Takumi's drifting isn't at very steep angles. It's very short and quick. He's basically going for speed, and using the course VERY efficiently. If some of the D1 (www.d1gp.com) drivers can get within a foot of each others drifting cars you better believe they can slide close to walls.
If you want more information on drifting I suggest....
www.d1gp.com
www.club4ag.com
www.dgtrials.com
www.driftday.com
All of those sites contain some good information. Although the DGTrials forums are NOT for the weak of stomach. They flame everyone that goes there, but at events they are like brothers... If you know of some local events I suggest going out. If you have the money and the time I would suggest trying to go see D1 or some Japanese or US pro's do some Demo's. It's like nothing you'll ever see or understand from just photos.

nomuken is a funny man.
-
So, does anyone know who is gonna play keisuke's role? cuz it seems like he's the character being lefted out. Also, do yall think the movie is gonna start from the very beginning of stage 1?
-
i think it was shawn yue. the cast is pretty much all from the IA movies.

This link seems pretty popular... I posted up on a couple od boards I regularly visit ;D
-
its not gonna be cg... its 100% real =p if the chinese community finally decided to make a movie with CG being the emphasis of over half the movie... this definitly would not be the first one...
-
If a live action movie did do well and get notice in the U.S. it really doesn't help us much since Tokyo Pop has the distrubtion rights for Initial D and will keep changing it to suit their own demographics who are not the people who tend to buy Anime.
I can only see a live action moving givng TP (thats right the same initals you give Toilet Paper) an ego boost as they will spin it as someone trying to cash in on their successful cartoon.....
-
^
The fuck with tokyopop. they are shit and have nothing to do with the live movie. media asia has the rights to the movie so tokyopop can go fuck themselves
-
I just mean to say that they will spin a live movie release as some kind of PR for their piss poor mangled Initial D cartoons.
-
^ prob some lame crap like fast and furious.
-
You guys may enjoy this, making of the movie of Initial D:
http://zombie.bigboon.com/eric/multimedia/MakingofInitialD.wmv
Yes the movie is played by HK actors, but it is mostly filmed on location in Japan from what I've understood. The story line is based on the comic but since you can't push 25 episodes iinto 1.5 hours of movie.. well you get it.... One of the things I've heard but I am not sure if it is true, is that natsuki becomes ryosuko's girlfriend in this version...
Owh and all the driving is real, not CG.
-
^ seen before, ages ago
but thanks for posting up anyway
-
there is confirmation that there will be CG in the movie but as to how it's going to be used, no one really knows yet. the movie's already wrapped up. only thing they're doing now, is the CG and post production.
it'll release in the summer in which i would guess will, come out on DVD september or early october 2005
-
SupraSaiyen, well it wasn' tposted by someone else and sence a lot of discussion about it was going on...
tinlunlau, I wonder how much CG they will use, so far from the footage that has been released they've done all the racing scenes for real..
-
I hope for the most part it is real with maybe some close calls like how clsoe he gets to the gaurd rail, if they put the rail in afterwords, that could be o.k.
-
No it wouldn't be OK to CG in a rail afterwords, it's not that difficult a maneuver. Go watch some of the D1GP and tell me that they cant get someone to do the drifting scenes. I'm hoping that the CG is only for little things like blending greenscreen into background or just the "normal" CG things. If they do any part of the drifting (that could possibly happen, no drifting in mid-air through a flaming hoop, missing the small poodle dog in the center of the road and passing your opponent at the same time) then i'm gonna be angry.
/rant
Anyway, about tokyopop... well... I'm just glad i've got ebay and my region free DVD player ($24 at best buy, lol, if you see a "cyberhome" dvd player that's really small and <$40, get it, it's region free and cheap).
(as a sidenote, the only reason for this post was to subscribe to this thread. There are easier ways, I know, i'm looking at the button right now, but this way is more fun)

Hey man, thnx for the link and post

agreed... most likely we'll have to wait till sept 05 for the dvd, then (if tp hasn't bought the rights) live evil could sub it. sort of like the naruto movie, but with less wait, since it's a chinese movie.
-
I wonder if Hong Kong is gonna voice dub in Cantonese for the movie, ??? I mean if the main character is Jay Chou, its noticable that its gonna be in Mandirin.
-
there better be a cantonese version.
most of the actors are honkie anyway. they could probably dub over his voice
-
Well if we can get a raw of the movie, we might be able to do it. Will have to see what the translators want to do.
Keep us posted
thx
-
hey i have this clip, it's a preview to the live action initial D http://zombie.bigboon.com/eric/mult...gofInitialD.wmv
-
ur link isn't workin, but I got it already. I hope there is a trailer to it soon
-
i just saw the making of initial d, part of it actually. it was awsome...hehhe...when would the movie be out or has it been out?
-
its done filming but not out yet
-
I thought they would use CG for the race scenes, but after looking at the trailer and macking of it. Good thing they didnt. oh well now we just wait
-
man the web site for the initial D movie was good but the server was hecka slow. I mean it took more than 30 min for me to buffer the trailer and it crashed at then end after seeing like 45 sec of it =( but it was a lil bit worth the watch. Wat I didn't understand was how come the FC was chasin after the 86 and behind FC was the GTR. Wasn't it suppose to be GTR chasing 86 and FC behind the 2 of those cars? if yall wanna see the trailer, its www.initialdthemovie.com
And to Hellbent, why wouldn't it be a good idea to put the CG in the movie? I dont think it would be that bad and the trailer looked really good. It might ruin the storyline or sumthin. Speakin of which, IS THE WHOLE STORYLINE like from the beginning of Initial D or wat??
-
Remember no book/novel/manga to movie is ever true direct. Just look at LOTR (though it was close). Most likely it will be a close to the manga storyline, but not direct, word for word. and Goo, using CG for something like ID would take a hell of a long time to make it look real. Just look at "Two Fast Two Shitty", they used CG and it looked like crap. maybe Iam old school, but I love realism,
-
there's a new trailer at www.jay-chou.net
when you're in the forum, go to Jay News and there's a locked thread regarding Initial D. There's a brand new trailer (not in the official site) plus a sneak peek at Jay's new song.
I'll probably just grab this in mandarin (usually released right away while it's airing in theatres in Mainland China).
i wouldn't think a fansub of the movie is necessary at all since there's gonna be English subtitles on the eventual DVD anyway. when this gets released in Japan, I have a feeling that there will be a Japanese dub of this movie. They have a japanese dub for everything released in Japan.
-
If it comes out to DVD in Japan around late July then imma get it =) cuz im goin to JAPAN!!
-
So is there any release date on this movie yet???
-
If you read on that initialdmovie site and check out the bios of the characters they tell a little about their version of the story line.
The first race is against the GTR, not against keisuke, so I guess that is why the GTR is trailing 3rd in the next race....
Wonder how much more they will change. Anyone thinking they can cramp 25 eps in 1.5 hour movie is crazy, they have to change the story, its ashame but if you can look beyond that fact, I'm pretty sure its going to be a nice movie;)
*edit* owh and yiuchi (gas station owner) is father of itsuki?!? Is that actually so in the manga?
-
no, thats not in the manga. but remember its not complete text for text. I would more call it Based on the ID manga, more than anything
