DBZ Live action movie?
 

Looks legitimate, also IMDB.com has it as post-production... so we'll see.

This video looks like it's been chopped up a bit, but the special effects of it look real, interesting.

If true, it's about fucking time. I was like 10-11 when I first saw Dragon Ball, and then a litlte older when I moved onto DBZ, and they're just now turning that series into a theatrical production, looks cool though I'd actually go out and watch it :nerd:

Here's the original link I had found.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1098327/

Yea man, I am actually pretty excited about it, but at the same time not expecting much. Games and TV shows usually end up sucking as a live action film.

It's a hard call really. But then again if Akira Toriyama is really involved, it should at least mimic the show and fit in story wise. I am definetely going to see it, I loved the show (DB/Z/GT - not nearly as much).

It has potential.

I could have sworn that half of those clips in that link are from a movie called deep impact. I'm also pretty sure that there was a matrix fight scene in there.

(Or is this just your early April fools day prank O_o)

Lol, that's fake as fuck.

------------------------------------------

Looking at the cast, it seems as though they're taking this movie somewhat seriously. We've got the computer graphics to finally pull this off but it'll take an A movie budget ($100 mil+ most likely). That's gonna be a lot of mouse time :D.

April fools......

Actually, not april fools, it's legimate the Youtube video is what's fake.

Heh, nice. That video was rather funny, combination of Day after Tomorrow and some others.

Caught a clip of Star Trek: Generations in there.

Rofl, I swear this isn't an april fool's joke, just the Youtube videos are all fake, for the most part.. I've seen some shots of the characters and they look legimate just the scenes from the movie are fake.

If this movie does very well, perhaps hollywood will make a life action high budget eva movie O_O

That would be pro.

Well, obviously if this movie does as well as we hope, they should make a DBZ movie.

Don't know much about Dragonball.

Good find WK! Hmph, not impressed though. Just gonna have to wait 'til more official shit leaks out.

James Marsters about Piccolo about Dragonball movie...

Hmm, just mentioning his role briefly, I guess apparently 20th century fox has a gag order in effect with his contract, so he doesn't really spill any information. Just check it out.

Damn, i am a much bigger DBZ fan then DB but ill still watch it. I was kinda interested to see how they did the super saiyan hair

I think they're going all 'ole natural.

Well, maybe they will do a trilogy then, ending with Buu haha

Hell we can only see, I just don't want to be let down with this movie, translations from tv/cartoon to big screen is a hard thing to do, hopefully the casting crew and production guys can pull it off.

Yeah, it's legit.

Reminds me there's a new Street Fighter movie coming out with a white chick playing Chun-Li. :(

Justin Chatwin just commenting a little on the Dragonball, it's very prevelant that the movie is going to be kept under wraps, until it's ad-campaign takes off...

Dragonball was much better than Dragonball Z by a long shot in my opinion.

Fucking americans... leave it to them to butcher the fuck out of a good series... I actually had to think of who the fuck the girl was. They show no resemblence at all, wtb asians

A-fucking-greed, they resemble nobody. I assume the chick is Chichi.

Fuck, I'll downlaod it only to see how bad they fucked it up. Pissies me off that they are just trying to cash in on it.

Fuckers.

Not only that, but when was the last time you saw Goku with a serious fucking look on his face?! The only times I can think of is when he is about to die or kill some idiot. Goku is a humorous clown... They could have done MUCH better with the picture.

The rage inside is building and yea, the fuckers have some guy writing it based on DBZ..I mean come on, you know its fucked cuzz Akira Toriyama isn't involved.

Fuck, ruining a series that I loved growing up and still like...Hollywood ruins pretty much everything we liked as a tv show or game, why do they keep fucking doing this. Do it fucking right for once.

That's Emmy Rossum. And she's actually playing Bulma.

20th century fox is putting in a lot of money in this project.. I just hope it isn't a flop. Even though the more and more I see about it, it definately look like it could be.

Whatever, none of the characters really look like who they should be.

That's the sacrifice you have to make to make something live action. Games included.

I honestly can't wait for it. I wanna see how it turns out. Think about it, what do you have to loose? It's either movie or no movie. I think it's better to go with than without.

The reputation of the series? *cough*Claymore anime*cough*

Honestly? The reputation?

What reputation? Eleven year old kids? It doesn't have the highest quality animation, the show was, while great, largely drawn out due to the tons of "fighting scenes" which were ridiculously long and the whole feel is just of reminiscence. Despite the fact that I loved the show, come on, reputation doesn't really matter.

Who goes to a buddy's house and says, "Wanna watch DB?"

Who tries to talk to a girl and mentions DB?

Just thought I'd bump this, as there are now 2 commercials on the site. To me, they look the same, maybe one is brighter... But it actually looks like it'll be pretty good... Comes out April 8th, 2009. I plan on seeing it...

EDIT: Figured I'd add the link to the page, so you wouldn't have to go searching for it...

Wow April 8th is right around the corner.

I think you just proved the point ten times better by correcting them.

Goku *can't* be the same person because he's not a wild boy like he was in the Manga.
Bulma does stuff in combat. Bad mistake.
Piccolo's head is Huge.
Goku is the "chosen one" just like every other american actor.

and that's only from a 3 minute clip I saw 2 or 3 weeks ago. and it was real.

I always pictured Gokou to be...bigger, less serious...

...and Azn.


And where's Krillin? :(

They ditched Krillin completely :[

Haven't watched it yet but the reviews are what you'd expect, shitty acting, story and ruined DragonBall....Hollywood ruins yet another classic...

Are YEW FOR REAL? This blows, i'm still going to see it haha. ALong with Fast and Furious.
