Parts of the original story will be retained, like finding the Z in the junkyard (below)… I'm thinking possibly the live action version of Wangan Midnight will be kinda similar.

Sure they could have improved on many things if they wanted to keep it real to the original Japanese manga/anime… however, for people who aren't die hard Initial D fans, then I think the Chinese action Initial D movie was pretty good. Sure, I was annoyed by some things, like how they called Takumi "Tok-hoy" or something, and for sure I wanted to strangle the guy who played "Iggy" (rolling my eyes) by the time the movie was over… but all in all, it was a pretty good movie, in my opinion. I know that not everyone is a fan of the Chinese "real-life anime" films like the Initial D film with Chinese actors… however, I honestly like the Initial D live movie. So I was browsing through one of my favorite AE86 forums, Club4AG, and found this thread, which says that they are making an actual Wangan Midnight movie! Cool! I'm very interested in seeing how this movie turns out, I'm sure it will be fun to watch.

So what about Wangan Midnight? If you don't know by now, Wangan Midnight is an extremely popular comic from Japan, which features an S30 240Z (instead of the AE86 panda Trueno in Initial D) and wangan/highway racing. I'm sure just about everyone knows about Initial D.
