Ok, so this is going to happen. That can't be undone. The question is, will/can it be decently done or is it doomed to be a mockery.

Here is a bit of info on the cast and filming.

Probably more out there, but I'm too lazy. Plus, still trying to understand exactly how this can be pulled off....

That seems to be the initial thought... If it's nothing like the actual dragonball.... well.... yea... It's going to be different. I'm going to try to not judge it before watching it. It's just kinda difficult with how they are going....

[GOKU] 18 years old, Goku is considered uncool and unpopular at school, but he is in fact an extremely talented martial arts fighter who gets rigorous training from his grandfather, Gohan. After the death of his grandfather by the evil Lord Piccolo, Goku finds his destiny in his grandfather's dying request that he find Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the dragonballs to take over the world. Trained by Master Roshi, aided by Bulma and Yamcha, friends he meets along the way, Goku proves himself a formidable, almost undefeatable fighter. On many dangerous adventures to find the remaining Dragon Balls and thus save the world, Goku conquers physical and emotional challenges, ultimately saving the world but clearly impelled to spend his life searching for the Dragon Balls with his trusty companions...LEAD

[BULMA] 20s, female, pretty, with great intelligence behind her gleaming eyes, Bulma is a determined, competitive young woman whose father's five star Dragon Ball was stolen by Lord Piccolo, and who believes that she can harness their unlimited energy and change the world like Edison or Einstein. Bulma, who has a DBE (a Dragon Ball locator device), teams up with Goku, and with him meets up with Master Roshi and Yamcha as they attempt to collect the missing Dragon Balls before Piccolo can destroy the world. A resourceful and courageous young woman who's also a weapons expert, she overcomes many obstacles with her colleagues, only to find the seven Dragon Balls ultimately snatched from their grasp--but it's clear she's going to continue searching for them with Goku and Yamcha...LEAD

[YAMCHA] 20s, "the bad boy who has no trouble attracting women," he taunts Goku, Bulma and Master Yoshi, who are trapped in a sand cave, rather than helping them with his rope ladder. However, after overhearing Master Roshi's tale of Piccolo once nearly destroyed the Earth and are preparing to do so again, Yamcha has a change of heart and not only helps the three in the desert, but becomes a valuable part of the team. An ingenious young man whose utililty truck is the Swiss Army Knife of trucks--every tool and gear imaginable sprouts from its body--Yamcha joins Goku, Bulma (with whom he becomes romantically involved) and Master Yoshi on their quest to find the seven Dragon Balls before Piccolo...LEAD

[MASTER ROSHI] This older man is a good friend of Goku's grandfather, Gohan, and Goku comes to enlist his help after his grandfather is killed. Although he looks like a beggar, Roshi is one of the world’s most fearsome fighters. Master Roshi begins Goku's rigorous training to prepare him for the adventure of finding and fighting for the seven Dragon Balls to save the world from Piccolo's destructive plan. A wise, somewhat wry man who knows as much about human nature as he does about martial arts, Master Roshi is impressed with Goku's fighting but reminds him of his failings as well. Ultimately, Master Roshi sacrifices his own life in order to destroy Piccolo...LEAD

[MAI] Late 20s, female, her features exotic, sexy but deadly, dressed in gleaming black, with weapons strapped all over her body, she's a martial arts expert and Lord Piccolo's chief enforcer. Crafty and quick thinking, Mai uses her ability to shapeshift near the climax of the movie and takes on the form of Chi Chi, a young martial arts expert who's romantically involved with Goku and later saves Piccolo from Master Roshi's curse; once she is revealed she ends up in the fight of her life.

[LORD PICCOLO] An ancient being who despite his humanoid appearance, is from an alien race determined to take over the world. Piccolo is the cursed ruler of a demonic race who nearly destroyed Earth 2000 years ago, and with the coming of the eclipse and the possession of all seven Dragon Balls, he's prepared to free himself and do the job right this time. Crafty and smart, Piccolo has some disturbing news for Goku, namely that the boy is actually a Saiyan who's destined to join Piccolo as his right hand in destroying and enslaving the planet...LEAD

[CHI CHI] Goku’s lifelong love interest, Chi Chi is an attractive, tom boy-ish young woman who has grown up with Goku. She has studied martial arts and has always suspected that Goku possesses talents that are unusual and extraordinary. After Goku embarks on his journey to redeem his grandfather’s death, Chi Chi meets up with Goku and his crew at a tournament of champions where their mutual attraction finally heats up during a training session.

[GOHAN] Goku's kindly, wise grandfather, he looks like he's in his 70s but moves like Jet Li. An accomplished martial artist who trains Goku on the bow staff, he loves his grandson and is happy to prepare a special feast for him on his 18th birthday, as well as a special gift: a 3 star Dragon Ball. Tragically, Gohan is struck down by the high ninjas of the Namek-Jins, and as he dies he sends his grandson out to do face his destiny and do battle against them...

Wait, I didn't see the early episodes, and I didn't read the manga, but did Piccolo really try and take over the world? I thought he was a good guy...

Lol. Yes, Piccolo, like Vegeta, started out as a bad guy. Go watch dragonball Hiraeth. It's good stuff.

Well, sure, it all sounds well and good, as you would expect it on paper, but when you see those pics and know the actors... You just wonder... I know this isn't 1995 and this won't be Mortal Kombat, but these type of things tend to not end well.

"Sounds well and good"? It all sounds like a bad fanfic.

18 years old, Goku is considered uncool and unpopular at school.

When did Gokue go to school? He was raised in the mountains and never interacted with anoter human besides his grandfather.

Gohan is struck down by the high ninjas of the Namek-Jins

Ninjas? And when was Gohan killed by Piccolo? It was Goku who killed Gohan.

Piccolo has some disturbing news for Goku, namely that the boy is actually a Saiyan who's destined to join Piccolo as his right hand in destroying and enslaving the planet

LMAO

Seriously, cant get any worse.

Well the majority of it is in sync with the original dragonball. The parts you pointed out were all obviously what was adapted to make it for a more modern viewing audience. @.@

there has been info oon this movie posted somwwhere else.

we know who goku and someone else is...i'll post it here.

to everyone sayng it will be crap:
1. wise up. this is coming out 2008. look at the quality of films in this day and age. besides the fact its dbz it should e good just knowing its modern.

2. they obviously know about al the critizism etc about how a live action dbz movie would be. they wouldn'tmake 1 like that. com omn seriously, think about it.

3. from stuff i read this isn't really a dbz live action movie anyway. its just like a martial arts movie loosely based on the piccolo saga story from dragonball. so same names and characters...and not much else is gonna be the same. just loosely copying the story.

Why must I cry?

I think it's been done before, like wayyyy back in the day. However, I cannot find an IMDB entry on that backs my claim. But I know for sure that a low-budget one was made a long time ago, and it's really under the radar.

Oh, now I remembered. I saw it somewhere on Something Awful.

Velius

12-20-2007, 05:56 AM

Yes there was a live action Japanese Dragonball movie made. In the 80's I believe. Yea, that's all that needs to be said on that. This is the first American live action adaptation.

12-20-2007, 07:32 AM

OH GOSH! I saw this on Gaia--- and it annoyed the heck out of me....! I mean, if they couldn't even translate the Dragonball series too well (with some of their crappy voices- a girl doing Trunks voice was A BAD MOVE--- though Goku was done by a female in Japan- but I thought she sounded better)-what makes you think the movie will do good?

Now, if it's going to be a martial arts movie---- it'll have those funny voices and at least I'll get to laugh... Because those voices they do in Kung-Fu movies are hilarious.....

Now, I'm still confused on how their hair is going to be done.... Especially Goku's.... It's going to look--- weird.... And Piccolo- who's going to be green and stuff...? And, how are they going to do the Kamehameha? I don't know.... And, is Akira Toriyama going to be helping (to lazy to read)? If not, it's going to be a disator like how people complained about the DBGT series... -_-;

Now, I would PROBABLY watch it if they put that pharse in...

"IT'S OVER 9000!"

Aw man! YouTube is too funny! :laugh

But, seriously, I don't think it'll be too good... It'll be like watching 'The Matrix' over--- but WORSE....!

speedphantom

12-20-2007, 03:04 PM

I think this is incredibly funny. They're going to ruin it totally, can't imagine how bad it'll be. I wonder why they couldn't just stick with the nice fantasy world!

Why must they put it in the confines of an American high school and turn it into some junky Hollywood piece of crap. They'll probably end up turning the characters into the typical Hollywood shallow idiots ><.

Agmaster

12-20-2007, 03:37 PM

It will be bad, and that's ok. I got my fill of DB back in the day. It's a shame they are using Piccolo though. As he is my favorite character.

Riekie

12-20-2007, 05:13 PM

aah, this movie's been scheduled for atleast 5 years guys, so I wouldn't count on it being released in the near future, and please...don't ever release it in my lifetime because well, let's just face facts here..Live Action DB(Z) is to cry for.

Simple as that.

@Vel: with more CGI then Star Wars and Star Trek combined.

Ha, so a db-movie, not dbz...good. As someone messes with my Vegeta they'll be killed which will probably happen when the sequel comes out>.<

Velius

12-20-2007, 05:16 PM

Well, before it was all rumors of when it was going to happen, because Fox had the rights to it, but hadn't did anything. Now, it actually is happening and scheduled for a 2008 release. Yea, with all the new CG, is this just going to be a new level of cheesy? Or could it actually look good?!

Shadoblak

12-20-2007, 08:45 PM

No, it can never look good as it's american made. No offense to american movie-making but the west making a db movie is just plain wrong imho. I think that IF there's such a need for this movie it should stick to japan, simple as that.

Though I'd probably go and watch it for the good laughs (of how bad it looks).

Sorry, sceptic here.

No offense taken. We all remember 1998, when we tried to modern/Americanize Godzilla.....:cry

Oh, no doubt...I MUST see this...Honestly I have no doubt it will be bad....But will it be bad like The Hulk was bad, or will it be bad like Kung pow! Enter the Fist? *Owns Kung pow*

12-20-2007, 11:35 PM

I've always laughed at this idea and wondered, "How the hell...?"

We'll find out soon, I suppose. Since it's an American production, I wonder how much it will resemble DBZ besides names and character relations.

Shadoblak

12-21-2007, 03:04 AM

They're apparently trying to stay at least slightly true to the source material (Except Goku didn't go to school he accidentally killed his own grandfather and was supposed to take over the world for the Saiyans......And where is Krillin!?)
Emmy Rossum (Phantom of the Opera, Poseidon) is wearing a blue wig for the Bumla role and................I made myself laugh :p

oh well >__> they kinda changed the story too :p

Soranushi

12-30-2007, 03:45 PM

Interesting I might watch it because DBZ was the first anime I watched but the series has been over for ages now but I still like the show. And if you think about it you cant really make Live-action Dragonball movies completely based on the show because the Series is too long would you really want a bunch of movies that had a couple of Sagas/Arcs crammed into one movie.

Velius

01-06-2008, 05:21 AM

Yea, but multiple arcs could be made into multiple movies! xDD I see it as being very possible. Even if the movie tanks, I wouldn't be surprised with a couple of straight-to-dvd movies following.

Shadoblak

01-06-2008, 05:46 AM

Wait.....In Dragonball.....Didn't Goku kill King Piccolo by flying through his body, which made King Piccolo react by spiting up the egg containing DBZ Piccolo?

Soooo....Is the Piccolo here Piccolo or Piccolo Daimao?

I remember that, and the so called 'poster' they made for it ( or maybe it was fanmade, it was pretty cool):

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/599/dbzjv6.jpg

Anyway this movie will never ever work if they stick to the original story, and even what they're doing now isn't enough, they have to really change the whole thing and make it 'modern' or else this is gonna go straight to DVD release and end up in the '2 for $10' after 3 months. If they change enough it could be something like Heroes ... but that's a LOT of wishfull thinking tho.

Beee

01-06-2008, 06:05 PM

hmmm.... I don't mind the adaptation too much, but Goku being an uncool and unpopular HS student (and with that I assume he's also insecure, shy and nerdy) kinda makes him the total opposite of the outspoken, eccentric and likable he is in the manga/anime. If anything he should be rather popular..oh well o__o;;

Wait.....In Dragonball.....Didn't Goku kill King Piccolo by flying through his body, which made King Piccolo react by spiting up the egg containing DBZ Piccolo?

It SHOULD be Piccole Daimao... but then again, Goku is a HS loser so you never know >__>

well.... in 2008, the little kid in me who used to read DB mangas nonstop will most probably kill himself >_<;;

Oow and Bee; that completely fits the american hero storyline; Spidey was a nerdy, unpopular kid, Batman was...well we all know that..etc. etc.
Well Spider-Man was nerdy in the ORIGINAL story!! And Batman wasn't nerdy at all :hm

The name of Krillin's replacement is actually Teto(feel free to toss around the puns) and i think it's totally unecessary for them to remove the perfect best friend for some guy with an even weirder name. Hell they could have called him Krill as a nickname! Why replace Krillin, obviously a vital character to the plot as he assist in Goku's progression? What has the world come to?

Can't be worse than that 1989 Korean Dragonball flick. That one was just down right terrible. Anyway, with 100 million dollars at thier disposal this film should be more than crappy costumes and action sequences.

kitty868theonly

01-19-2008, 06:18 PM

I don't get it.... Why don't they just do a VERY GOOD 3D on it, like the Final Fantasy Advent Children one? I mean, looking at the graphics of that movie, the characters look so--- real... But, at the same time, not really. I mean, come on, it's possible for them to do that because look at the graphics for the X-Box 360- the boxing one to be more specific. When the guys punch and everything, the blood comes out and their faces all go sideways and stuff- maming it look real (which gives me the creeps a bit)! Why can't they do the same with the Dragonball Z movie!?!? All they would have to do is just find some voice actors- and it'll be done and finished (may take a long time- but it'll come at least, like the FF movies).

Come now, I think they're doing this movie for commical purposes, I don't even think it is intended for the action. If they were serious about it, they would have made it a 3D movie with the best/close to best graphics.. Or, heck, got some Chinese martial arts people to do the parts... Man, even the TMNT realistic movies from the old days look better then this crap that I'm seeing- especially after looking at the picture for this 'movie'... Does anyone see what I'm saying or agrees with me?

I wouldn't want to see a 3D movie of DB :/ I'd want to see it a million times less than I want to see this XD at least this has guaranteed comic value, cheap CGI is just plain crap noone wants to see :T and indeed, Velius has a point.... even when you earn 10 million or even more with it, you'd have to be prepared to take many many millions in loss as well and most companies just don't have that kind of money T___T;

bradc

06-18-2008, 03:53 AM

Again, it's about money. Realistic 3d movies are not cheap. The Final Fantasy move cost 130 million, in total, to make. That movie completely bombed. At the end they had 120 mil in loses. Why do that with Dragonball, when it will be cheaper to use a couple of unknown actors and a bit of CG here and there.

If it was Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children; it was worth it due to its popularity among gamers alike. But I think I would be scare to watch this one. Even though Chow Yun Fat as Roushi and odd casting with James Masters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Lord Piccolo :sweat

Cast to Voice Overs: Dragon Ball Movie 2009 Cast (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1098327/)

Childhood dream and long time ago favourite series is completely ruined; then again the Japanese took the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and made into something their own, but it was more laughable on the animation :fpalm

I heard about that one... I didn't watch it either. I don't think I want to watch this one either. The voice casting scares me and Chow Yun Fat seems to be hitting deadend with his acting roles. :sweat

This one is going to hit the fan too... But anything adaption into Americanization seems to made of fail, except the cheese.

Ok this is a movie that probably would be better if they had made it a few years ago but this hole movie I think is going to be one big disaster live action and the characters do not really look any thing like the anime (Were is gokus hair :yell)

Hiraeth

06-18-2008, 06:22 AM

Imo the worst thing you can do with an adaption is to cast people who are unfamiliar with the source material

And you've seen Lord of the Rings? Sorry but from what I've heard a good half of the cast had never even glanced at the book before being cast in their roles.

In other news, if Bulma's hair isn't green I'm not sure I'll be able to handle going to see this movie. It'll just be the straw that broke the camel's back. And speaking of hair - since when did Master Roshi have any?

Oh I don't know if these have been posted yet:

The Americanize Goku is not going to get a flying nimbus cloud either... His Chi has fail... He goes back to Forbidden Kingdom and they would have teach it to him all over again. :facepalm :rofl

I think the actor playing Goku does resemble him in some ways. I like how he brings out some of the character's mannerisms (innocence, determination, stupidity) in the picture I have seen and I for one think he may pull this role off. The movie in general, at least for me, well it's hard to say. There are or were a lot of Dragonball fans in America and worldwide, some of which have long since grown up. Who's to say it will fail, who's to say it won't be the next big Superhero movie since Spiderman? Only time will tell; in the meantime I shall be waiting patiently to see.

I wonder what's up with all the popular Japanese animes and mangas being made into live-action movies now? How much longer do we have to wait for Bleach, InuYasha, and Sailor Moon? :wha

I only hope that DB gets a two thumbs up rating from Roper and his temp.

I'm not worried about it because I was never into DB, etc (my sister was, however) So I'm happy to see this with an open mind :amuse

i don't like the choice in actors besides Master Roshi and Bulma, but yes it has potential to be great.

so long as we have a live action kamehama and ki blasts. these dragonball energy beams are something we have not seen in movies before, seeing it for the first time live action could revolutionize action movies.

hopefully it's power level will be over 9000... :lmao

I actually like how they did Goku's hair

if they did nothing it wouldn't be like DBZ at all, but if they tried to make it look exactly like the serie that would have been phail

they seem to have thought that out at least:learn

twinny- :lmao I might see the DBZ movies just so i can see that line :XD

Lady O- kubo probably won't approve a L.A. movie, he says he wants to create a series that can't be done in live action:cookie

we'll see it together, right? :wtf :XD

wait, this is dragonball movie and not DBZ right? so Goku is supposed to be a kid cause its when piccolo was evil..? correct me if im wrong :D

Rain

06-19-2008, 12:25 PM

Twinny- i suggested we go together the other day and you never responded:cry but we really should xD

and this movie takes place at the end of dragonball when goku is around 19, and he fights against piccolo jr (just piccolo)

-but i think this movie is taking more than a few liberties with the story

but there are 2-3 sequels planned, to take place in DBZ's timeline

ive been following this since 2002 when it was first announced:crazy

rayne_himura

06-19-2008, 12:30 PM

ah i see, i get it now. cause i was like, "why did they have someone playing goku that obviously doesnt look like a kid" :lmao yeah, if it goes really well they might make a trilogy, cell saga or a buu saga. also i think krillin might be in the next movie

lmao, could you imagine anyone playing Krillin? :lmao

Rain

06-19-2008, 12:39 PM

twinny- you did:wtf :heehee

and according to wiki (yes, i wiki'd dragonball film:p) it says the movie covers all the most important events of DB

and just fyi, there is a krillin-like character in this movie, so krillin won't be showing up

rayne_himura

06-19-2008, 12:45 PM

twinny - oh really? whats the character's name? you think those two androids would show up in the next DBZ movies? :p

i was thinking wouldnt it look wierd with the actors having anime hair styles hehe

omg i just noticed chow yun fat's one of the cast :wha awesome
he'll definitely give justice to his character

Rain

06-19-2008, 12:48 PM

the character is weaver or something:lmao

and i hope we get to see #18 in the future movies, cause she is without a doubt, the hottest DBZ character there is xD:lmao

twinny- but he is master roshi, and perv who can't be taken seriously:lmao

rayne_himura

06-19-2008, 12:53 PM

twinny - oh yeah, #18's the one who married Krillin right? :lmao

omg yeah, why did they have to pick him to play Muten Roshi. ive seen some of his movies and he did awesome fighting stunts. they shouldve picked him to play Piccolo.. *nods head*

do you remember when majin buu turned him into a chocolate? :lmao

Rain

06-19-2008, 12:59 PM

twinny- yeah she was, so if they introduce her i have no clue how she will fit into the story

and yea, he is such a great actor, but roshi isn't a good fit for him i dont think. Piccolo would have been good, but i think masters might make a good piccolo. He is a pretty good actor in his own right

and :lmao we're about to turn this into the dragonball FC (we should revive that thread)

06-19-2008, 01:04 PM

Marsters sucked as Cyclops.. what more if he play a bad ass character like Piccolo :notrust

Rain

06-19-2008, 01:12 PM

but you should demand a switch anyways:rofl

though seriously, they should give Chow a better character to portray.

Rain

06-19-2008, 01:27 PM

he also played brainiac on Smallville, and in that role he was stoic and smart, very piccolo xD

maybe Chow can play roshi really good, they might not add all his pervertedness to the role at least

you think he'll look good in green? xD i actually saw a pic (he got no antenna), but have been promptly removed by Fox :notrust i think can pull of Piccolo well, he's pulled off similar characters in Buffy and Smallville, he's also got the facial shape of Piccolo.

and that dude playing goku, he just isn't bulky enough to play goku. He does look like goku, though. ??

its like a future genere for movies, if the post 9/11 was the return of superheros movies then now we got some anime movies brought to life (there is also a evangelion movie on the way...still it will take several years but its a start)

Really? I used to watch it after school when I was younger, and it was great, but they used to spend half an episode powering up, and the other half shouting kamehameha, then the episode would end and you'd have to wait til tomorrow to see if they actually hit anyone.

bradc-Chow Yun Fat is probably gonna be the saving grace with his action scenes but its probably gonna be bad because other people will not be as good :-_- his moustace was not that long in that movie it needs to be a bit longer then how it was in "Curse of the Gold Flower" maybe white as well and he needs to either shave his hair or uses something to make him bald and were shades and wear a turtle shell.

There are so many things that need to be done I can live if he does not have the turtle shell.

Saving Grace? I don't know about that... Just like being casted into this movie just made a bad role for signing up. The American Actor/ress looks like they came from Power Rangers no matter how you look like it.

they're no supposed to look like the anime. if they did it would look crap.

i don't see what ppl are complaiing about. it's pretty stupid.

it's a martial arts movie with the basic dragonball storyline.

If is a martial arts movie... I would rather see Jackie Chan and Jet Li go at each other again. Is like Disney's licensed Power Rangers with bad fighting choreography made for kids of censory land. They have the movie rating PG targeting for 6-12 years olds. Is likely going to be bloodless and gutless too...

that would be a crime against anime. anime isnt for children, i really dont see why the market thinks so again and again, like censoring shows like naruto when it goes world wide.

you were aware that you bought a show about ninja kids killing one another, its not a suprise that there is violence in it! i would preffer that they wouldnt touch it at all if they are going to change the essence. the same goes for anime based movies.

that means that dragon ball need to be violent, senseless beating and so on. and the evangelion movie should be dark and confusing or it will be a betray to the original work.

KurosakiNaruto

06-20-2008, 01:35 PM

I don't like the idea of Goku being in High school either. That concept really kills the visualization of a fantastic world but in another way broadens the belief in a fantastic world beyond the world we know. I like to think of it this way: Goku didn't know anything beyond Mt. Paozu, only what Gohan told him and to him even those were just fables.

I think in a more profound fashion they're trying to recreate that naivety by placing him in school thus making him a normal person......well not exactly normal but normal to human standards. A regular boy attends high school just discovering the world is not as peaceful as it appears.

It bugs me a little but I'm sure the High school thing is only temporary. He'll probably only be there for like the first few minutes of the film if we're lucky.

Oh believe me... Japan censors nothing, nor their intelligence about the world; they have kids young as five years old watching violence and shows like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider who are Japan's Super Heroes. Anime is for kids and adults alike... I grew up with it watching Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball. Is all common sense of what is right and wrong. Censoring anything is just reduce the world into an imaginary one dimension and happily ever after in Disney Land. Result of another idiot kid doing stupid things...

just like this movie isnt produced in japan.

and japan does censore one thing, divorces...

there was this show called kizukaze or something about incest between two brothers (amazing anime, they really love one another and NO! its not hentai)
but the episode who was censored and wasnt aired was the one that talked about divorce between their parents.

the reason is that japan have a negative birth rate and divorces are considered a actual threat to the future of japan.

The actor lacks Goku personality and it seems like he doesn't want to be in it... I would watch it for Chow Yun Fat and James Marsters, if they are the only ones who could save this film from bombing itself up from Kame Hame Ha.

They also casted Ernie Lee Hudson as Winston Zeddemore from Ghostbusters... He's going to be playing Mutaito. The casts keeps getting weirder and weirder...

Apparently they need to save money on the cast and spent it on the horrid clothing/possible wigs, which i doubt and sets.

I highly doubt Justin Chatwin will be a great Goku. I just finished watching him in The Invisible and I found that movie very lame. At first, I thought it was going to be great because I love Dragonball and today's live-action movies are very kick ass, like Spiderman and Transformers. So, when I heard about it I was like "Yeah! I'm watching that!" then I saw the posters with Justin and Jamie(plays Chi Chi)and I wasn't so excited about it anymore. Yet, that's what I think. Do you guys think Justin Chatwin will make a good Goku?

I don't think you can look at his previous roles and use that as a basis, him being in a crappy movie doesn't make him a bad actor

he could easily make a fantatsic goku

what worries me are the changes they make to the characters, how much will they want him to change goku's personality

but, we can't knwo whats goign to happen, so no use in worrying over it:cookie

Justin Chatwin other acting roles gives you an idea how good of an actor he is. Is basically his resume and this movie will accidentally hit like 300... And Dragon Ball is pretty popular for one thing. I have feeling it's going to be mocked and made fun of like the movie called Meet the Spartan or a movie I ran across today called 305 :rotflmao

I don't think Speed Racer made it big either...

Now a days every anime-manga adaptation, including Dragonball are made to be on the big screen and live action. Last one was Transformers, which was okay. I really don't know what to think anymore, except more bad movies???

The project was first announcened like 6 or 7 years ago, but it kept falling through, but it finally started back up, and filming has already begun

so it should be ready for next april

From what I read there's quite a large handful of Dragon Ball Movie haters just for this film being made. I think it will just bomb like Speed Racer with bad dialogue, bad costume with great and mediocre actors/ess; no one is going to watch it.

I think the making of this Dragon Ball Movie is trying to top the Transformers the Movie, and it feels it's backfiring than working for them. I thought they were suppose to stay true to the fans :(

The only reason I'd want to see this movie, is because of James Marsters (even if I probably won't be able to get it out of my head that SPIKE is playing PICCOLO). I think he'll at least make the role interesting.

But either way, I'll probably want to at least rent this movie, because it looks like the next classically bad movie (example: the Street Fighter movie), which will give me endless amounts of lulz.

oh my.. is that the real poster? .... looks like it's going to be something around the quality of DOA movie (which was bad D: ) and is that Bulma with the gun? lol nice front.

Oh My God...The "Dead Or Alive movie" I saw that...and I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooled almost the whole thing *cough* Hayabusa*cough* Jann-Lee was just a mere extra ROFL,Helena was some sort of cheerlearder and It had cheesy dialogues almost all the time.The fight scenes were ok IMO,but It was Laughable just like the old Street Fighter movie (lol I didn't know that Kylie Minogue was in there BTW) About the DB poster....I don't know what to say...except that I agree with Renegade Raine in that it would be interesting to see James Marsters playing Piccolo,even if they don't show him in the poster...

Street Fighter Movie wasn't that bad... They actually kept the actors looking like the actual characters to the game, compare with this; it's more off than close for being half-hearted love for the series. And the storyline was close to what the Street Fighter Game story would be with it's own twist. The changes were apparent, but still close to the game-anime story...

You can pretty much nitpick all the problems in Dragon Ball Movie and what's already wrong with it and compare with Street Fighter Movie. I think I would stick with the Street Fighter Movie.

Here's the second movie poster:

I swear holding the Dragon Ball is getting annoying in every picture... I think we've seen it before more than a dozen time now since they finally film this; he needs a new pose...

looking at him in that gi on the poster... you can just tell he's way too small to be goku.

i look a the street fighter as a classic movie. not because it was good, but because of how bad it was overall. I still watch it from time to time for some lulz

You do realize this movie is based off on Dragonball (not DBZ), in which Goku was just a teenager, right?

I thought goku was like a little kid in DB though. Like 12 or 13. and not in high school...

Close enough since by the time you're out 7 & 8 grade of grade/secondary school, you move onto your senior year into high school. The closes is actually being high school... I still don't know how they are going to pull it off even with James Matsters C list actor going to Z list actor...

DB or DBZ...any other way...this movie is gonna be really bad...
and I'm a little worried on how they will introduce piccolo on the movie..Piccolo on the anime has a good introduction..

he's going to be a teacher at goku's high school probably...:P
I wish that there would at least a teaser picture of piccolo at least. just to show an idea of what they are going to do with the character.

adult goku is only 5'7 and 137 lbs, he was never a big guy

and at the end of dragonball goku is 19

I dont think the actor portraying him is a flaw

*disappears*

As far as a teaser of Piccolo:http://ui28.gamespot.com/827/dbzmoviepiccolo_2.jpg
I think that's it but don't quote me on that.

I think the teaser you posted was a fan thing. like what he would look like in a movie. because it says december 2003 (i think) and DBZ the movie on it
