    Default Dragonball Z Live-Action Movie in Production

    http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...286b7cdb7e6562

    Nov 14, 2007

    Twentieth Century Fox is finally moving forward with a live-action adaptation of the hugely popular manga "Dragonball," casting the stars of the movie and setting a release date of next summer.

    Justin Chatwin is starring as the hero while James Marsters will play the villain in the sci-fi adventure, which will be directed by James Wong. The movie has been penciled in for a worldwide release date of Aug. 15, 2008. Stephen Chow, the filmmaker behind "Kung Fu Hustle" and "Shaolin Soccer," is producing.

    Production begins later this year. Other major roles are currently being cast.

    heh never saw the series was too slow. but had all the original 52 manga from japan. in fact i believe i was one of the first to get the 52nd manga. have a friend who works up at jump who hooked us up. was fun. but that was like 1991

    but yeah that actor can pull it off. if he buffs up. if you cut his facial hair he does have the facial structure for it.

    Meh, same sh*t. You know they wind up cramming like 3 seasons into 2 hours anyway. lol

    Young Goku: "I'm like 12, but super strong!"
    Piccolo: "I'm a hard@ss alien guy!"
    *Raditz appears*
    WTF?
    *Raditz dies. Skip Saiya-jin saga. Freiza appears*
    Freiza: "The world shall be destroyed in 10 minutes!"
    *Movie consists of long@ss fight that stretches 10mins across 1.5 hours*
    Cell: "I'M CHARGIN' MAH LAZER!"
    *Movie leaves off opening for sequel*

    And then the funny thing about that would be that Frieza never came to Earth until his father put him back together to find Goku and then they were both defeated by future Trunks...... so far it looks like this movie is on a one way trip

    I heard it will just be based on the saiyajin saga with vegeta, raditz, and nappa. I figure if its successful there will be sequel, freiza saga, cell, and buu, etc.

    I remeber dowloading anything I could find in 1997. The quality was so bad on the Jap ver on realplayer which was the only thing I could find plus 56k was so slow. On a new note the new eps of Naruto Shippuden should be out 2night eps 34. Only other anime I have ever watched but DBZ. It started in 02 it's come along way to make it on cartoon network w/ there gay voices.

    Good to see someone who also likes the Naruto Shippuden, I can't to catch that and the new episode of Bleach. Bleach is raw , like any other anime you can't simply start where everyone else is and expect to understand whats going on, but I would recommend Bleach to anyone who had the patience to watch DBZ could in fact watch this and love it.

    ^ Naruto is nice. But the animation is wayyyy behind the manga.

    you should watch Bleach as well as others. I'm a total anime addict.
