omg dont even joke, i heard rumors back then about there being one and i still here rumors circulating thats theres gona be one, there was even a cast list and bpoy was it god awful so dont even joke. Hollywood has to either get fresh people with new ideas or just stick to wrecking they're own recycled over-used stories and leave other cultures alone, anime does not need to ruined by the likes of live-action hollywood versions. they've done enough already! >_>

have anyone seen the soccer ball movie. In which that soccer team were like dragon kids. It was interesting the animations. The action is more like funny rather than thrilling myself.

I really think that no matter what you do, translating *ANIMATED* characters into *REAL LIFE* will never be 100% Successful. The only people I have ever seen make it happen is disney, and they wake up and poo movies.

I believe that so long as the characters personalities are correct, and the relative plot is followed well they have done a great Job in bringing a nearly thirty year old animated series into this era.

By the way, the trailer, to me, actually makes it look like it's going to suck less than i thought it would. but it's still stupid, I may go see it just for kicks.

About the Goku needing to be a Japanese guy thing, remeber that Goku is supposed to be an alien from another planet, so he isn't necessarily going to look like someone from Japan. But I don't really care either way, so whatever.

Now that I've forgotten about the trailer and just now watched it again, I take back my previous statement.........well the first part of it anyway. It looks like Fox is doing a re-imagining of the franchise where the Goku is some kid that grew up in a city, has no idea about dragonballs or matial arts (or a very rudimentary knowledge) and the rest of the movie progresses something like Karate Kid (I'd rather watch those movies than this and they sucked too). It's, tired, old and extremely formulaic, a formula, I might add, that died with the early 90's. As I said above, Watch the japanese version, it looks at little better than this.

first off Speedracer was baller, Emile Hirsch is a fantastic actor. The world of dragonball is such an unrealistic world and it looks like the director is trying to put it in his own realistic image.. whatever give it a chance, from chatwin's previous roles he doesn't really seem fit for Goku butttt he could pull it off.... look at a guy (his name is too holy to speak) who went from starring in a chick flick (10 things i hate about you) to playing the most baddass villian of all time (Dark Knight)

Oh my jesus-christ-monkey-balls!!!! That's all I can say. I could spend hours talking about how this movie is gonna be one big heaping plate of massive horribleness, but that'd be a waste of time.

Oh wow. After I saw this trailer I kinda just sat back and whimpered to myself for a bit. My mom tried to console me with, "Oh honey, it's -DragonBall-! Not everything will be the same..." That kinda just echoed in my head for a bit. How about, "NOTHING IS THE SAME."

All though, no matter how bad this might turn out, I will see it. Maybe it won't be so bad??

Oh, and I typo'd Master Roshi's. They actor's last name is Fujimura. Anyway, I'm still sad. This movie is going to be so horrible.

Shiva — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:39:08 -0000

You know, stuff like this makes me want to direct. I know I could do so much better. Anyone could.

Anyway, to the actor choice!

Goku: Hiroyuki Narimiya.

Krillin: Hayato Ichihara.

Chi-Chi: Rinko Kikuchi or Ziyi Zhang.

Bulma: Ryoko Hirosue.

Master Roshi: Shunji Fujimari.

Piccolo: Ryohei Matsuda.

Yamcha: Fujiwara Tatsuya.

All of them, great actors, who could do a way better job. This movie is going to make me cry, and not in a good way.

The whole text reads:
"Incredible. When we thought the DragonBall movie couldn't get worse, the image above is revealed. What is it? Supposedly Goku, after suffering a transformation. Into what? That's the mistery. What the hell is that? A fish? A lizard? You tell me what YOU see. 'Cause it is definitly NOT a giant ape, which was what Goku transformed into (and all the people from his planet) the nights of full moon...
The image is so comical (to call it something), when it appeared many thought it was a fake, something created by a fan just for laughs. But to our disgrace that is not so, as the 20th Century Fox quickly asked for the image to be erased... bla bla bla..."

In short.... this will SUCK HARD
