Live action DBZ movie?!?!

[50calCerberus]

:confused: i jus read this article here http://www.saiyanisland.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1188932516&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8& (http://www.saiyanisland.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1188932516&archive=&start_from=&ucat=8) wats everyone think of a live action DBZ movie with actors

[Necronopticous]

What does the scanner say about its power level?

[XxSephirothxX]

It's over 100 million.

[50calCerberus]

lol k

[TyphoonThaReapa]

As excited I am, something tells me this is going to be a big failure. I mean, this is DBZ we're talking about. Can any form of our reality can handle the things they do in that anime?:confused:

[bipper]

What does the scanner say about its power level?

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!

(TAKE THAT mAXX:))

[Captain Maxx Power]

It's over nine thousand, ay? You don't want to be using your Final Flash just yet there buddy guy fellah.

It's being shot in Canada

[JKTrix]

I *almost* posted this when I saw it on Monday, but ultimately decided against it. I would have even posted a much less nerdy link as well. (http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/arts/story.html?id=5d8321ec-4d55-40bd-ae6c-742949303ea9) (C'mon, Saiyan Island, it's too easy.)

But yeah, I was excited about it when I first heard about it 5 years ago. Not so much now. I was always skeptical of how the aerial combat would work (DBZ is not about fighting on the ground), but after Matrix 3's final fight, I had hope.

Still, a human with Goku Hair would be absolutely ridiculous. And a human without Goku Hair would be absolutlely sacrilege. Kind of a lose-lose situation.

[Fonzie]

There goes my childhood... :D

[Proxy]

Eh. Even if they did make one, I'd only rent it. It sure would be interesting none the less.

[Raebus]

"It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys"

They aren't too far off, at least. It's already won the most complex plot award.

[Araciel]

this will be made of epic fail...if the budget is 90 million, 89 million will be spent on hair gel/spray.

also, filmed in canada? well the exchange rate ain't what it used to be, so labour would be cheaper in the states but i guess production costs are still different

[ReloadPsi]

Oh please god let this be real. The Sailor Moon series was so hilarious.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Need I remind you about what happens when you let the West do (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113074/) what the East does best. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142371/)

[Peegee]

LOL I've heard about this for years now. I will go to watch it only to LOLOL in the theaters for 90 minutes.

[cloud21zidane16]

LOL:p

looks interesting but will it work?:mog:

[JKTrix]

Need I remind you about what happens when you let the West do (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113074/) what the East does best. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142371/)

Or Street Fighter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111301/). Then again, Transformers was at least exciting.

Transformers' budget was around $150 mill if I recall, so DBZ should be in a pretty good position as far as finances go.

[Deborah]

Oh no! :eek:

[DK]

I dunno, if you look at the way they did the CG scenes in Kung Fu Hustle, if they do it right the action scenes in this movie could be pretty epic. Everything else will no doubt be turd, but that could be pretty cool.

[Baloki]

:cry:

[Captain Maxx Power]

I dunno, if you look at the way they did the CG scenes in Kung Fu Hustle, if they do it right the action scenes in this movie could be pretty epic. Everything else will no doubt be turd, but that could be pretty cool.

Just like the cartoon. :cool:

[Proxy]

Looking at it in my mind, the actors, script, and what-not. This movie reeks of epic fail.

[Rengori]

I dunno, if you look at the way they did the CG scenes in Kung Fu Hustle, if they do it right the action scenes in this movie could be pretty epic. Everything else will no doubt be turd, but that could be pretty cool.
That's exactly what I was thinking. :cool:

[Lynx]

well ill go see it but only because i was quite the dbz fan back in the day. but i think it might be quite the failuer but im willing to be proved wrong.

[Jessweeee♪]

Pineapple was telling me about this...I didn't believe him XD



GOLDBERG=NAPPA

[Lawr]

I read something like this at Saiyan Chronicles two years ago, and I thought the guy was just a looney! Like M3 :bigsmile:! Guess I was wrong. This movie is gonna suck balls.

[Jessweeee♪]

Hahaha...what if Hugh Jackman really did play Goku...that would just be awesome XD

[Lawr]

I also read that the guy who played Wolverine in the 'X' movies, will do Vegeta...

[Jessweeee♪]

Supposedly Orlando Bloom was gonna be Tien XD

[Markus. D]

LAWL!

[Eiko Guy]

U want it to rock so amazingly. ut how shall they do super saiyan hair?

[Lawr]

U want it to rock so amazingly. ut how shall they do super saiyan hair?

They give them stable doses of Polonium.

[50calCerberus]

lol at actors would they have?...im thinkn wee man as chaozu:D

[The Unknown Guru]

You lost me at DBZ.

[KoShiatar]

I'm scared.

[Spammerman]

As excited I am, something tells me this is going to be a big failure. I mean, this is DBZ we're talking about. Can any form of our reality can handle the things they do in that anime?:confused:

We could do it with american cartoons, we can do it with anime.

[JKTrix]

Lead actors have been confirmed.
'Dragonball' movie set to roll (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if4dd78b5e8cb039096286b7cdb7e6562)

I didn't notice this in previous reports, but it seems this one will in fact be based off of 'Dragonball' and not 'DBZ' since it seems like Piccolo is going to be the bad guy.

James Marsters (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551346/) is Piccolo. I kinda hope he uses his European accent.
This Justin Chatwin (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0154226/) kid is going to be Goku.

James Wong is directing, Stephen Chow is producing.

[50calCerberus]

so the dude playn goku is the son from war of the worlds with tom cruise and the dude thats playn piccolo was the lead vampire in buffy the vampire slayer...:D lol thats funny as hell neither of them resemble their roles

[KoShiatar]

I was so hoping this would be a hoax. :(

[JKTrix]

I had to come out of hiding to bump this.

CHOW YUN FAT (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-12-19/chow-yun-fat-joins-dragonball-movie-as-master-roshi)

Wow. This project is just getting weird.

[Monol]

I soooo wanna be in this movie :D

[Jessweeee♪]

WHAT? No Nappa? Then what will happen to Goldberg?

:cry:

[Fynn]

OH-MY-GOD!!!

[Laddy]

Weezer says it best. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU7LZts87Zg)

Well, he has an orange shirt!

[Jessweeee♪]

I have to see this...no matter how this turns out it's going to be worth watching xD

[Spammerman]

I think Mr Miyagi wouldve kicked ass as Master Roshi.

[Fonzie]

The fail of this movie will be over 9000.

[Bahamut2000X]

Dragon Ball Z is the most popular anime ever in history,

I lol'ed.

[theundeadhero]

I can't wait to laugh hard at this movie.

[Boney King]

"Bargain bin, here I come!"

Ontopic, anyone remember this?

this is needed imho.

[Polaris]

I really wanna see how they'll make the banana hair xD I'm considering actually paying to watch that film :D

[JKTrix]

Hollywood: Early Dragonball Movie Images (http://kotaku.com/341840/early-dbz-movie-images)

Looks like they're not even going to try.

And Boney King, I've been looking for that pic on my computer :P Thanks.

[Markus. D]

I'm not paying an admission fee to see a cinematic hour or two of:

"Hhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiihhhhhhhhhhh"

[theundeadhero]

But the longer the name of the attack the stronger it is!

[Depression Moon]

This movie will most likely be terrible and the cheesiest movie to come out this year. I'm hoping it can be as watchable as Mortal Kombat, but I'm not sure. I have no clue why they picked buffed up Chow Yun Fat for the role of Master Roshi they could've gotten any old skinny dude to play him.

[ReloadPsi]

At least this film will entertain me more than the cartoon. Saying that, the Japanese really should've done this as they are the masters of cheesy live action, uh... action. Hell, they've kept Super Sentai running for over thirty years and Kamen Rider's not doing so bad.

[Zeus]

Worst idea since the musical cats.

[Casey]

Amazing? 100 million dollar budget, with all that money I don't think I would ever invest in such a thing. Someone must be a real fanboy.

[Moon Rabbits]

Oh jesus fuck why.

[Jessweeee♪]

Why not!

It's pretty much guaranteed to be awesome, whether it's good or craptastic n.n

[Bahamut2000X]

If they do it it right, it'll be like Transformers, they don't try and be serious and it'll be awesome because of it.

[JKTrix]

One more pic, this time of a battle scene.

LUCES, CÁMARA Y ACCIÓN EN DURANGO - El Siglo de Torreón (http://www.elsiglodetorreon.com.mx/noticia/324640.luces-camara-y-accion-en-durango.html)

It's Dragon Ball (not DBZ), so he still uses the stick.

Some sneaky person taking nearly worthless photos from far away.

[Kanshisha]

well, it would be an interesting movie to watch! im looking forward to it ^^

[Bahamut2000X]

I was sad. There was no Piccolo in that picture. :(

[JKTrix]

Anyone live in Mexico? They're looking for extras. (http://blogs.hoycinema.com/movieland/post/2008/01/24/inicia-segunda-etapa-del-casting-dragon-ball-durango-) If you scroll down too far though, you might get distracted by Olga Kurylenko. Or Daniel Craig, if that's your thing.

Lots more pics here, and some youtube videos at the bottom. Probably more Spanish.

[Breine]

It'll either be really cool or really bad. There's no in-between with movies like this. The stunt team that worked on The Matrix and 300 are also involved in this movie, so I guess that at least the action sequences will be cool.

Also, I was kinda surprised to see some of the people involved, like e.g. Emmy Rossum and James Marsters.

[Little Al]

I'll use the "Wait-and-see" strategy. If it stinks... Well, put it this way, I'll be at my friend's house watching something else or playing games like Halo. (I may also considering reading a novel, be it written or graphic.)

[Zeus]

Hurt my feelings. I heard that spike from Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel, will be playing Vegeta. What the fudge?!?

And they are in Durango, I don't want to go there right now. Now I can imagine someone saying "Hay Chihuahua!!!" in the middle of the movie, that would be cool xD.

[Bahamut2000X]

You heard wrong. Vegeta isn't in the movie, it's based off the King Piccolo arc, and James Marsden is playing Piccolo. So he'll be angry, evil AND green.

[Zeus]

Sweet Jesus, how are they gonna do the King Piccalo thing? It's good that their won't be any super saian transformations either. Well maybe.

Which means no Nappa!

This does not change the fact that GOLDBERG = NAPPA.

[Bahamut2000X]

Well if memory serves there's not a whole lot in DB after King Piccolo. Though I never saw much past then. But if this movie does moderately well then we'll get more, possibly prequels, and most likely sequels.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Hugh Jackman as Vegeta would be ultimate SECKS! <3

Vegeta = SHMEXEH

Hugh Jackman = SHMEXEH

Couldn't go wrong with that one :D

[Bahamut2000X]

You know I could almost see Hugh Jackman playing Vegeta.

[~*~Celes~*~]

You know I could almost see Hugh Jackman playing Vegeta.

Wolverine's hair, slightly longer, dyed black. amirite? amirite.
:D? (http://www.canmag.com/images/front/xmen/jackmanwolverine.jpg)

EDIT: Click the smiley =]

[Bahamut2000X]

The main question is can he be angry and constipated enough to play Vegeta? I mean Wolverine was an angry fellow, but Vegeta was so much angrier.

[~*~Celes~*~]

Very true. I read in a magazine that interviewed him that in order to play Wolverine properly, he had to take cold showers every morning so he would be angry enough xD

Cold showers and the couch for the time it takes to shoot the movie should do the trick ;)

[Aerith's Knight]

id love to see the bloopers of this one

[ReloadPsi]

I simply can't wait for the trailer.

[Bahamut2000X]

id love to see the bloopers of this one

Goku: AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Piccolo: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Goku: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Piccolo: AHHHHH!!!!!!!
Goku: AHHHHHH!!!! *insert fart noise* My bad!

[NeoCracker]

It would only make sense to cast that one dude who wanted people to leave Brittney spears alone as vegeta.

He/She looks both angry and constipated enough for the part.

[Jessweeee♪]
