Twentieth Century Fox is bringing the Japanese manga phenomenon "Dragonball" to the bigscreen.
Justin Chatwin will star as Goku, a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name. James Marsters is onboard as the film's villain Piccolo.
Actor-director-writer Stephen Chow ("Kung Fu Hustle") is producing. "Final Destination" helmer James Wong will direct from a script he penned. Ben Ramsey wrote an earlier draft. (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117975946.html?categoryid=13&cs=1)
James Marsters as Piccolo ?! Nice ~ he really fit the image XD (he looks like Piccolo)
in case no one knows who is Stephen Chow : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Chow
btw, here is the link to the HK newspaper with the photo of the actress may star as Chi Chi, Goku's Girlfriend/Wife (http://hk.news.yahoo.com/071114/60/2jhwh.html).

Wow, do you know how much can go wrong with an AMERICAN company, CHINESE producer and CHINESE director, AMERICAN and CHINESE cast, filming in CANADA a live version of a JAPANESE anime? :oops: :oops: :banghead:

I come across the details about this "news" yesterday @ a HK newspaper .......... and I didn't know someone post the "news" in that thread today ................ I was just thinking "why the hell no one is talking about it ?" XD XD XD

it will be fine ......... hopefully XD

I'm kinda excited about this, since I like dragonball a lot (it's one of the first manga that made me like anime and manga).
but at the same time I'm quite pessimistic.. dragonball live action?? hmm... I can't picture it..
Oh well, hopefully it's good, because there has been some attempt at a dragonball live action movie years ago (it's a chinese movie) and.. well... it sucked (IMO, at least).
-
All I can say is THEY'D BETTER NOT RUIN IT! :-\
-
Wow, I've seriously been reading about about a DB movie for yearsss now, and now they are finally getting the show on the road? I'm not even interested in DB like I used to be. Maybe when I see a trailer or something, I might decide to see the movie
-
i heard about the rumors of a Dragonball/DBZ movie ever since 2000. now it's 2007, and i don't really have much thought about it until i see a trailer or something. i would like to see how it turn out since i'm a big fan of DB/DBZ/DBGT, although i haven't watch it since a couple years ago. maybe if i watch it over again, it'll bring back my huge interest. although i wonder if it'll be as great as the anime, hope they don't ruin it....
btw, i watched Stephen Chow's movie ever since a kid and loved his comedy style and blend of martial arts. although this time he's a director and not an actor... still expecting something good from it.
that's 2 reason i should watch the film.
as of rite now, since watching the newer shonen anime/manga, and the fact that most anime/manga been turning into movies. i'm imagining what'll like if someone makes a live-action movie of Naruto or Bleach, Gundam (to rivals Transformers, maybe), Hellsing among others animes that i'm watching recently.
when i watch anime or read manga, i imagine about related stuff. and basically think of how great it'll be if this or that happens, most of the a live-action movie.
but this is maybe not for this thread...
btw, this is kind of like 3 other movies based on anime/manga that i think of:
Blood: the last vampire
Kung Fu Dunk ( loosely based of Slam dunk)
Speed Racer
and now Dragonball
i know japanese/taiwanese has been making movies and dramas based on manga for some time now, but mostly on love stories and comedies, not with these shonen, action-filled, superpowers one, rite? or maybe i'm not so well informed...
again, sorry if this isn't the place to dicuss this, if only there's a thread for this... it's just that sometimes i have alot of creative ideas that i just want to let out....
i'll stop here.
-
All's I know is, if Trunks is coming, he better be hot and can handle a sword.
It'd be cool if they don't screw up another Asian creation so they can actually continue it. May be even all the way up till Pan comes.
If Jun Ji Hyun doesn't rock in Blood: TLV, then I'm going to rely on this.

Been hearing about a live-action DBZ for eons now, but I guess it's really in the works finally. If Stephen Chow is doing it, then I have to keep hope that it's not going to be terrible.
-
i'm a big dragon ball fan, but i am not lookin forward to this. i hope they surprise me and make this movie awesome, but i'm afraid it's gonna end up like the super mario bros live action movie
-
Wow, do you know how much can go wrong with an AMERICAN company, CHINESE producer and CHINESE director, AMERICAN and CHINESE cast, filming in CANADA a live version of a JAPANESE anime? :oops: :oops: :banghead:
Add to that a KOREAN (although born in California) actress to the casting list:
Jamie Chung is cast as Chi Chi (http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/839/839941p1.html)
Purely for research purposes, I looked her up on Youtube:
[youtube=425,350]bzZyZdYdUyg[/youtube]
Well, there's one plus for the film at least! :D

Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, and Joon Park join the cast.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0848772/
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2684445/
Eriko is your japanese actress.
-
So Joon Park is Yamcha, Eriko Tamura is Mai (who I don't know much about cause I've only seen DBZ, not DB) so Emmy Rossum is Bulma? Hope she doesn't mind having teal coloured hair!
Oh, and I read something of the character descriptions:
PICCOLO - An ancient being who despite his humanoid appearance, is from an alien race determined to take over the world.
Oh dear. When the majority of DBZ fans hear about this, they will not be happy :lol:
-
somehow i can't get myself excited over this movie. I love DB/DBZ/ not-so-much DBGT (never really watch it) and still watching the anime over again, but somehow i dont' feel it for the movie. i know i should probably wait for a trailer at least and actually watch the movie before deciding, and i will, but still...
back in 2000, when DBZ was at the top of the world, there was a rumors about a movie adaptation and everyone got so excited but i guess they waited too long to make a movie now that myself and others seem to forget about it now. DB/DBZ/DBGT been over for a couple of years and nowadays it seems like bleach and Naruto is @ the top of Shonen anime/manga popularity list that DBZ is forgotten.
My point is maybe they should wait for 7-8 years, after it's popularity and anticipation has died down.
-
yup, i think this will be a hit or miss im more leaning to the latter. the purest and diehard fans of dbz will definitely not like this i'm guessing. i love stephan chow to death but producing the movie...well i don't really know what to think. i just don't like the fact how the chinese have been remaking alot of japanese manga/anime, not that i'm hating or anything but it just seems odd when the cast is speaking chinese and you know its based in japan etc i.e. initial-d. :lol:

i just notice, That's is Goku, a.k.a. Kakarrot (pardon the spelling, i dunno how to spell that). He's the saiyan that came to earth to conquer it, but instead have amnesia and become it's savior. they switch goku's role with piccolo. how can they switch the roles or screw up the story like that?
-
Assuming the movie will be based on the events before the DBZ storyline, the movie will probably show some scenes with Goku's early adventures searching for the Dragonballs, meeting his would-be comrades along the way, an Oozaru scene, flashbacks from the earlier Tenkaichi Budokai tournaments, fights with Pilaf and the Red Ribbon army generals, then build up into the Piccolo arc and end with the tournament where teen Goku fights teen Piccolo.

I'm just confused with what 'humanoid appearance' means. Are they giving him a humanoid appearance because of the theory that aliens either have insectoid or amoeboid forms? XD

Maybe they just want to emphasize Piccolo's evil beginnings, since he will be the main villain in the movie.In the manga/anime,Piccolo(Kami's extracted evil half) did rule the earth until Master Roshi's sensei sealed him in a rice cooker. Once he was released, he tried to conquer the world again but Goku was able to defeat him. Before he died, he puked out an egg and that egg grew into the Piccolo we all know. It was never mentioned that he was an alien though, until Raditz told him that he was Namekian and Goku was a Saiyan. They can screw up the story though, if Goku suddenly goes SSJ when he fight Piccolo. :lol:
-
yep, it's based on DB when the time Yamcha is still evil, not DBZ. (that's why it's called "Dragon Ball" :lol:)
also, Chow Yun-Fat is gonna be Master Roshi

Bout Time!! i was wondering when they were going to start this!
seeing how they chose a grown man for the role of Goku i would this would prolly take place during the Piccolo saga, but i hope they don't really follow the story. I hope they make their own story but keep all of the character traits. Maybe like have a Goku vs. Piccolo fight in the end but in the middle show Goku and Yamcha fighting. Oh! of course with my boy Krillin.
The cast so far is....insane... :O with all these different types of races and most of them prolly don't even speak the same language, this is starting to be worrisome. Some of the other movies I've seen like this, the responses to each other aren't that good since they don't really understand what the other is saying. Hmmmm Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi?! That dude is a good actor, but for the role of Master Roshi? I don't think he has the personality for it. I'm pretty sure Master Roshi is prolly going to be just like his role in Bulletproof Monk. But for the role of Chi-Chi I'm all for it!! :D
Still looking forward to this movie. Hopefully they won't let us down
-
I'm worried about the film aswell. It has the potential to be good, but I dunno. Emmi Rossum, loved her in Phantom of the Opera, but I just don't think she fits in the film. lol @ Humanoid Appearance for Piccolo, this probably means he'll look like an ordinary Human like The Terminator, which basically translates to they're too lazy to cover him in green and give him antennae :( Makes me a bit sad, so far I'm not too optimistic about what it seems they're going to do to one of my favorite characters.
[youtube=425,355]dpyepHVNHNk[/youtube]
lol Piccolo. :heart:
But oh well, what're you gonna do. I still have some hopes for the film, Jamie Chung is hot and I love DBZ tons, so I'll still probably go and see this anyway.

^ that video is wrong. Emmy Rossum will play the role of Bulma.

On set photos of the film showing Frodo's younger brother, sorry, Goku. (http://blogs.hoycinema.com/movieland/post/2007/12/15/aexclusiva-primeras-imagenes-dragon-ball-y-set-se) :?
So who else thinks the producers thought the idea of Goku sitting on a cloud as a means of transport was deemed 'uncool' and thus decided to have him drive in a sports car? :O
-
...

ahem... :roll:
En una de las escenas de Dragon Ball que se rodaron se ve un automóvil deportivo amarillo que está a la espera de estacionarse, en ese momento se supone que Goku va pasando en la bicicleta y el coche se impacta contra él, por lo que Goku se cae, y la bici queda abajo del auto.
During one of the shooted scenes, we can see a yellow sports car that stops to attempt parking. At this moment, we suppose that Goku passes by riding a bicycle, and the car bumps into him, Goku falls down, and the bycicle is stucked under the car...
So, you are wrong... The producer thought that Goku sitting on a cloud as a means of transport was deemed 'uncool' and thus decided to have him ride a bicycle! :rofl:
-
Curse you Spanish language! You've foiled me once again! But I'll be back, stronger than ever! *evil laugh*
Anyway, yeah so a bike then. :lol:
-
On set photos of the movie (http://blogs.hoycinema.com/movieland)
Including some photos of the sets, cast, Chow Yun Fat wearing a Manchester Utd hat (legend) and Goku's actor filming an outdoor scene in trademark attire (albeit in rather blurry quality)
-
I have this weird feeling that this movie will undoubtly fail ! so i highly recommend the high profile actors to drop out of this big screening all together :twisted: :lol: XD :)
-
This movie sounds like it could be reeeaaaaally embarassing >_<
Hopefully it's not and it's amazing! i never realyl watched dragonball(watched the others tho) so might have to brush up on my DB knowledge soon.

i agree. i dont know how this one's gonna turn out. it's kinda iffy. i guess we'll have to wait til the trailer comes out.
-
Oh dear. The signs don't look good. They tried the hairstyle, they really did, but they failed (http://www.dragonballmovieblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/youn1.jpg)
It just looks ridiculous, should have just kept it normal. God knows what it would have looked like if Goku ever became SSJ3.
-
Damn, can't see it.
Clicking the link gives me a 404.
-
It's going to be epic fail. I can just feel it. Oh, and Goku looks like a douche. The guy over at I Watch Stuff (http://www.iwatchstuff.com) put it best when describing the Goku poster that's been going around:
"When a live-action adaptation of the fight-centric anime Dragonball was announced, there were some concerns. Was there enough hair product on real, non-anime Earth to support Goku's ridiculous coiffure? Would fans get too upset if the character's orange gi were replaced with a t-shirt with some Japanese characters on it, showing an Abercrombie-level understanding of Asian culture? Could computers still render simple glowing orbs? Make your own judgments."
-
Looks like another movie who's only objective is to make sales based on the title alone. This usually occurs in Video Game adaptions like (Mortal Kombat, or Dead or Alive, etc.). But Dragon Ball deserves better then this.
-
Damn, can't see it.
Clicking the link gives me a 404.
Oops, sorry here's another link:

Don't know if this is related but in a commercial they have offic workers doing the "Kamehameha" But they misspronounce it (AS FUCKING USUAL) and say it "Ka-mee-ha-mee-ha." I thought to myself/ OK I know what Kamehameha is but Kameehameeha I've no idea! :) Gives me a conniption whenever ppl cant pronounce words 1 time... and then keep going. Like "Morning Musoome" I just want to tell em to fuck off when they do that. Mostly when its in spanish though, since I'm 1/2 to 3/4 mexican.
Basically put, I'm not holding my breath for anything over half-assed much less fantastic!
God help them if they touch Sailor Moon! :angry:
-
God help them if they touch Sailor Moon! :angry:
Japan already made a live action "drama" version of that, you know. :yep:
-
JESUS no! This movie better have AWESOME SPECIAL EFFECTS AND CHOREPGRAPHED GOODNESS to make up for the crappy character portrayl!
-
ARE YOU EXCITED?!?!?!
(http://www.film1.nl/images/plaatjes/44319.jpg)
No, me neither...
-
They're going to need a new phrase above "epic fail" to describe how bad this movie is going to be.
-
O wow.....
Anyone know who the guy with the dragonball is playing?
-
Anyone know who the guy with the dragonball is playing?
> Oolong, obviously... :sweatdrop:
-
O wow.....
Anyone know who the guy with the dragonball is playing?
Goku. Naturally!
-
Get rid of the white boy and I'll consider it.
-
lol, I looked at the page before and saw that his picture matched up with...Gohan? :banghead: I kinda understand his hairstyle
-
Dragon Ball deserves better then this.
QFT.
I mean, I never expected a Dragonball movie to be stellar... but this just looks AWFUL. I think it's going to be the next "Catwoman" as far as fail movies go.
-
WTF that emo boy can´t be goku O_O... well i undertand they want a movie that non fans can understand but C´MON a kid can fit better for the role.
the girls are :jerk: but is not enough... whatever, now i´m not going to watch the movie for any reason, not even to say i watched it.

Plot Synopsis
After Grandpa Gohan’s dying request, Goku starts on a journey to find Master Roshi and gather the seven Dragon Balls to prevent the desire of Lord Piccolo to take over the world. In the course of his journey, Goku meets Bulma and using her Dragon Radar, they find Dragon Balls on the way. Goku arrives to Master Roshi, and he fights with Roshi. Looking at Goku’s fighting technique, Roshi finds that Goku is a grandson of Gohan. Master Roshi was Gohan’s master. Goku receives rigorous training from Master Roshi, and after a long journey, Goku approaches Lord Piccolo for the last time.
ComingSoon.net has learned that 20th Century Fox will debut the first trailer for Dragonball in theaters on October 17 with the studio’s video game adaptation Max Payne, starring Mark Wahlberg, on October 17. We’ll have to wait and see whether Fox will release the trailer online earlier that week.

Would like to see this trailer. I don't think images do it justice on how bad this could be.
-
Piccolo isn't even green! That is even more fail.
And what's worse is... I actually really like James Marsters. I know you have to take what you can get in the acting world sometimes... but geez.
-
Brace yourselves, the first ever pic of Piccolo!
http://dbthemovie.com/images/screenshot/db9mn2.jpg
His look (both in the face makeup and the outfit he's shown wearing) is very similar to the design that was used for the Remans (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Reman) in Star Trek: NEMESIS (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star_Trek_Nemesis).
-
Wow I'm cringing already, I'll try not to judge too much but this just seems a little too odd. A live-action version of this could have gone one of two ways. It went south.
-
They're ruining a classic just like street fighter the movie did. 100% flop coming.
-
maybe if their change the title and the names... T.T dammit trying to make the movie more "real" GTFO
i'm so not watching this one :(... maybe is not that bad but whatever
-
What the hell! PICCOLO NEEDS TO BE GREEN! What's the point of being a Namekian if you're not green! Hell, even the planet Namek is green!! ANd what's up with the dungeon master outfit? The movie just pissed all over Piccolo fans!
PLEASE don't let my childhood cartoon be a street fighter #2...
-
The only thing that sold to me so far is Chow Yun Fat's sexy anime girl t-shirt, something that has complete irrelevance to the original anime and the movie adaptation.
And I though including Steven Seagal and Van Damme in the cast could save this film. :sweatdrop: :doh:
-
EPIC FAIL....

Trailer recorded from fan cam at some expo:
http://www.beyondhollywood.com/bootleg-dragonball-teaser-trailer/
This is gonna suck. Looks like a bad kung fu movie x_x
-
I give up. That's all.
-
why???
No matter how bad this movie looks like it's going to be(is most likely going to be) most of us are still probably going to watch it...
It's like that something nasty you don't want to look at but you just can't help but stare.
-
I have only one word to describe this movie:
floppity flop flop floooooopppppppppppp
-
It's as lame as I expected. If I didn't know I was watching a Dragonball movie trailer, I would have made no association with DB at all.
-
The sad thing about it is, people are still going to go see it even though they know it's gonna suck.
-
It looks more like an anime influenced live action movie. The should of called it "The Anime Movie" or something. and made it a Dragonball parody cause thats what this is A PARODY THIS MOVIE WILL BE A JOKE!
-
I'm gonna see it. :muffin: And I'm not ashamed

Man... Hollywood totally fucks up the best Japanese anime/manga in the world!
And with that "monkey form" of Goku posted by Tuffty, I thought he was some Star Trek character...!!!
-
im still courious how this movie in big screen....
but im pesimistic this movie give a bang, because hollywood really suck

this is an alien not a monkey
-
:rofl:
It kind of looks like Yoda and one of the Planet of the Apes monkeys had a love child.
He's not even hairy.
-
I don't think that's Goku XD
They're going to ruin this, but not to THAT extreme, lol.
-
He's probably going to morph into Godzilla or something.
During the fight with Piccolo he'll probably do a fusion with the Hummer H2 that he drives to high school.
The movie will finish with him hanging out with his bro dudes, playing Halo 3 and working on their fake tan.

Oh dear....
I don't think that's true... O_O Looks seriously nasty XD And wouldn't be true to the original story which would suck more than the previews already do... Plus, the reviewer here said that Goku does turn into his monkey form O_o:
4) Oozaru - the giant monkey is in the movie. Goku turns into a 8-9 feet tall giant baboon when he looks at the moon. It was awesome looking though a bit CGI. Maybe they will fix it later.
I hope the movie isn't as crappy as it looks on the previews, coz it's such a fun story which had potential for a great movie. T_T Stupid movie-makers...
I'm very disappointed that Goku is not played by an asian guy, since I NEVER EVER imagined Goku as anything else.... Plus, even if they didnt wanna make him asian, that dude doesn't look like a Goku at all!!!!!!! Goku is supposed to be strong looking, with wide shoulders and big expressive eyes! XD *pouts*
/me thinks Sungmin of Super Junior would've made a somewhat better Goku XD
-
Ya know, I'm not really giving much hope to this movie, it just seems so wrong from the get go.
To this point, it gives the impression that it'll flop right from the start.
-

^ Apparently, that is Piccolo pre-green. Reportedly he um, evolves, into a Namekian.
Seems like there's re-shoots for the movie, so the release date is pushed back a bit.
-
The first pic is kind of adorable XD
-
lol... after seeing those photos posted by Tuffty still thinks Hollywood's DB is still wrong!
XD

More than wrong...It should be ban :thumbdown:
I really do not see the need for a movie like this...the same with the live action of evangelion, astro boy and future projects... :temper:

I might give it the benefit of the doubt, but judging by the pics, it doesn't look like DB at all to me so far, and he doesn't look like a Goku at all XD
Why does Hollywood have such a problem being true to good original stories? :mon exhaust:
-
you know... it's gonna end up in the way that Japanese people get piss off from this movie, then Akira Toriyama will call the characters in Hollywood DB with different names than the original (just like Godzilla vs. Zilla, in this case will be Goku vs. Ku).
Maybe then we will see a Japanese movie of "Real DB vs. Fake DB" and have Goku kill Ku!!!
XD

and in the US version a dragonball is literally, a dragon with 1 testicale

Official Trailer (Good Quality) (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/274162.html)
I think you all know how this is going to turn out...
-
I'm still meh about this one, even after seeing that trailer.
-
I know exactly how it's going to turn out.
Just go watch any of the live-action Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter movies.

Separate note.
Weekly Shonen Jump 40th anniversary Dragon Ball special w/ english subs.
(note: roughly 290mbs. and it's a .flv file, so you might need to get a player for it)
Here's the torrent:

Fun and weird seeing the characters again after such a long break.
It's all fan-service, so don't expect massive action or 5 episode fireballs.

Okay, so it's done in French, still....THIS is how a live-action DB movie should be done. :lol:

^ That's pretty cool :O As with the Goku in the movie, I don't like the Gohan's looks, but oh well XD at least it feels way truer to DB than the stupid movie hehe
-
officially just watching this for the lulz.
-
omg the 'way it should be done' is amazing! That's only fan made? Genius!
What's wrong with gohan's looks? He looks exactly as he does in the anime....dorky xD
I'll probably have to go see the DB movie because I might aswell make my own opinion about it.

Wow. That's just... wow.
Not even going to download this one. Looks that bad...
-
"7 mystics gathered together to fight the invaders. together they created.... dragon balls"
what the heck??? do they even KNOW the original story?
I'll skip this one, thanks.
-
If you compare the fanmade dragon ball scene with the Dragon Ball movie, the fanmade one is 10 times better xD. I thought it would look bad to have live action, but that fanmade one did a decent job.

my allowed to post this here? =P
Dragonball Evolution 2009

i think its bootlegged from asia. Haven't watched it yet
-
Yeah this is without a doubt the worst movie ever. :thumbdown:
-
I started watching it, but after 5 minutes I ended up cock-punching myself until everything went black. Then it wasn't so bad.
-
Read a review for this today and it got 2 stars. Out of 10. :thumbdown:
Didn't realise it was out already. Now I know to avoid it.
-
my friend is actually going to watch this movie to see how terrible it is.
the only regret i have is that Ayu is singing the opening and closing(i believe) for the movie
-
When will they realize this just doesn't work? Seriously.. anime is often so over the top and... well, JAPANESE, that it's not going to work as an American film. If they made something true to the anime, mainstream wouldn't like it. If they Americanize it, we get this shit.
-
^ That certainly holds true. Although it must be said there are exceptions to the rule, but usually if the anime in question isn't quite so OTT. Monster for example, would have absolutely no problem making a Hollywood translation. But Hollywood probably wouldn't touch it anyway if they keep on going for the most popular anime/video games to adapt for easy money.
-
I was originally gonna go see this for the sake of seeing it but with the reviews as low as they are....I think I'd rather not know :S
-
ignorance is bliss ^_^
-
watched it the other day. shit is horrible. but not even in a way where you can watch for the lulz, its just bad D:
-
Finally watched it the other day. I think that if I forget everything I know about Dragon Ball, and imagine it's just a random movie for kids, then it's ok. It's ok for children, who might not care about the inconsistencies, won't over analyze, and won't care about the super cheesiness of it all.
OMG it was so cheesy. XD
And I must wonder, how come almost everyone was asian, yet Goku had to be caucasian? O_o
And wtf happened to Yamcha? Skinny blonde asian dude? NO WEI.
-
watched it the other day. shit is horrible. but not even in a way where you can watch for the lulz, its just bad D:
Lol well that is sad to here. I was looking forward to watching it for the Lolz D:
-
ok..so how long are we going to wait until it's released? :lol:
-
swear god ... not gonna watch it even if they pay me ....
-
In my opinion, I don't like this movie. I think hollywood can make it better and the story don't same anime.
