"Initial D" female lead almost certain
by kelvin@multistars - 15th April 2004Andrew Lau who is at the moment preparing "Initial D", has already been to Japan several times to look at the scenery, he hopes to film it as close as possible to the original, at the start of May they start to appoint real Japanese racers to do special training for the actors, these racers will also participate in the movie to make the effect even more real, Andrew Lau revealed it has already been confirmed that Jay Chou will be playing Takumi Fujiwara, Anthony Wong will play Takumi Fujiwara's father, Shawn Yu will play a new role and Edison Chen will be playing Ryosuke Takahashi. Due to the fact there are too many scenes with drifting and speeding, he expressed it became a problem to buy insurance.
Good thing he doesn't have heart disease
Andrew Lau said smiling: "I have taken a ride in the actors' cars, all of them are good, and they even fought over saying themselves were the best, my heart beat accelerated when I rode in them, the good thing was I don't have a heart disease, if not I would be dead now!"
As for the female lead that everyone pays close attention to, according to reports they are now sincerely inviting Japanese popular star Anne Suzuki, who once worked with Takeshi Kaneshiro, to act in it, Andrew Lau laughed saying: "In brief the female lead is within the top 5 popular Japanese stars, she's filmed a lot of movies, her name is 3 characters, she's only 10-20 years old, everyone just guess it yourselves! (You've said so much, just say the name too) At the moment we are still a little bit off from reaching an agreement, let everyone guess first!"
