More than you'd think, but less than you'd hope.
Speed Racer stands alone.

So was that actually good? I can never tell if the praise is genuine.
First thing I notice. Thank god they're not using that effect.
Yeah man, Speed Racer is great, if you can get past the idea that it is mainly aimed at kids.
Which a lot of people get hanged up on, when they see certain stylistic choices or characters.

I really liked how they handled Jigen in A Woman Named Fujiko Mine, so I'm at least excited for the sequel film.

Same here, although it is present in the promotional artwork of Jigen.
I can understand why people may not be too keen on the costume reveal of the live action cast. I think they look pretty close though, especially for established Japanese actors. There will always be people on the other side of the fence, but I'm still all for it. Looks fantastic.
The Fiat 500 will be returning in the live action film too. It's currently on show in Osaka.
ONe of those things that was too close to the source material so the story was just as awful and paper thin as the anime....that said the film is GORGEOUS an a very fun ride

<3 Man let this be a poster
Live action cast costumes looks a lot better than I expected. Another anime in the animation style of the Fujiko one will be gorgeous looking atleast.Super bump.
Here are images of the five main cast members in costume. There was also a website update with some new wallpapers. The film has been confirmed to hit cinemas on August the 30th.
Social media sites for the film have launched, ran by a pretend Inspector Zenigata [Facebook / Twitter.] The cast will be attending a festival in Osaka on the 12th of April. It's rumoured footage of the film will be shown there, but nothing is 100% confirmed yet.
A new animated feature film directed by Takeshi Koike will also release around this same time. It will be a direct sequel to the 2012 series, A Woman Named Fujiko Mine. Koike will be directing this time around and the story will revolve around Lupin's partner, Daisuke Jigen. The film is named The Tomb of Daisuke Jigen / Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone.

Teaser Trailer:

Looks like it will be staying very true to the 1970's animated series.

Looks great. Maybe a new thread to draw attention to there being a teaser now though?
Can't believe this actually looks good. It's good to see we are finally getting manga/anime to live-action movies with good budget.
