Sactown's Finest BNR34 Group: Advanced Members Posts: 848 Member No.: 3,216 Joined: Jul 9th 2008 Location: Sacramento, CA, USA	ANN (Anime News Network) Article: The official website of Kodansha Comics has announced on Saturday that a theatrical film based on Michiharu Kusunoki's Wangan Midnight street-racing manga will open in Japan this summer. Like the previous television anime and video features, Wangan Midnight the Movie will center on a young man named Akio who salvages "Devil Z," a custom-tuned Datsun Fairlady S30Z car with a supposedly cursed history. The film will star Yuichi Nakamura (Gokusen 2, Princess Princess D, Kamen Rider Hibiki), Ryōko Kobayashi (ZOO, Kamen Rider the First, Gamera 2: Attack of Legion), Kazuki Katou (Jigoku Shoujo, The Prince of Tennis musical, Kamen Rider Kabuto), Megumi Matsumoto (Ace wo Nerae!, Tomie: Beginning, Glass no Kamen), and Yoshihiko Hakamada (The Cat Returns, Iryū - Team Medical Dragon, Q.E.D.). The original manga ran in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits magazine and Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine from 1992 to 2008, although Kusunoki launched a new series called Wangan Midnight C1 Runner right after the old series ended last fall. The manga inspired about a dozen live-action video movies between 1991 and 2001 with a different cast than the upcoming theatrical film. Director Tsuneo Tominaga and A.C.G.T. animated a television anime series in 2004. The story is arguably best known in North America via an eight-year string of hit arcade and console videogames. Source: 2channel - I am looking foward to this.

The Red S30 Group: Members Posts: 441 Member No.: 825 Joined: Sep 10th 2007 Location: Virginia	Gosh, another one! Should be pretty good though. I saw the original Wangan Midnight movie, and although it didn't have any subtitles, it was pretty cool. If they're making a brand new one, I hope it'll look better than that one. It should, since it's being made in the age of computer-generated effects and such in movies. At least making the racing more believable instead of just having the cars run side-by-side, going back and forth, would be called for. I wonder if Kitami will make an appearance in this one...hmm...

I think those are the stills of the same upcoming Wangan Midnight movie we're talking about. I could be right, am I? The good thing is it's going to be similar to the manga/anime storyline. Initial D, however, was a mess because of the Chinese casting and a different storyline. Since this one has a new Japanese casting and a similar plot, this will blow Fast&Furious or Initial D out of the water.
