Recently in our forum there’s been an ongoing discussion about the Wangan Midnight movie from back in the days of VHS. The story of the Devil Z has also been retold in anime and its original manga form. Now it appears that a new big screen version is in the works!

Here’s a trailer or the original version.

And here are some more stills from the upcoming movie.

After seeing the live action Initial D movie, we’re split on how well this might turn out. But, we’re still looking forward to footage of nighttime Tokyo expressway badassery.

Check out this Club4AG thread for more details.

Look at the salvage yard scene close... Wouldnt you like to find a pristine Fairlady like that in a junkyard.... Not a spot of rust on the bumper, only missing two wheels and tires, and they were vary careful in the placement as not to damage it.

Here in kansas they dont care what kinda car it is... They all get the forklift treatment to them, and it aint purdy. Found a set of 71's near Salina Ks stacked up with a Ford Maverick on top of them..... RIP

After looking into it more it seems that WM live isn't going to happen. Seems that these pics were just from some photographer.

Yeah, I saw those photos about 6-8 months ago, not anything new there.

That is sweet!! im building one to look just like it right now

You sure about that? http://www.nipponcinema.com/trailers/wangan-midnight-the-movie-teaser/ the wiki page for wangan has a release date of 2009, i think somewhere else i read 08/2009

Cool! It does look like a reality! Thanks! Now if they could just make subtitles...

Hope to see it soon - of course with subtitles.

i agree seen these photos about 5 months ago.. it would be nice if it was true
