Fast & Furious Actor Sung Kang Is 'Trying' to Direct Initial D Film

While the project is not yet green-lit, the actor stated on his Car Stories podcast that he is working on developing the film and is "trying" to direct it.

Kang told the South China Morning Post that the film will be "about cars and drifting and cool things like that. Almost a Rocky or Karate Kid. A fun, big-budget movie that expresses my love affair for cars.” If green-lit, the film would be Kang's third project as a director.

Shigeno launched the original manga in Anne Suzuki.
