he looks like a jackass
-
You get that too?!
I don't have that feeling with celebs but with people at my school. I didn't know them, I had nothing against them, I just felt like clockin' 'em.I've never gotten into a real fight and I'm not a violent person. I'm generally a nice person. I just REALLY don't like him for some reason.
-
Why don't we move away from Chatwin, and pay attention to Chow Yun-Roshi's shirt.
-
Ohhhhh, I can't believe people feel the same way I do, I thought everyone liked Chatwin…......so I was wrong:wassat:.......anyway, I really don't like him as Goku, it makes me mad everytime I see him in the same outfit as Goku, I think for DBZ being one of the best mangas ever, that they should at least get someone who would look more like someone capable of playing Goku, everytime I see his pics in the Goku outfits, I get pissed off, and think they did a badass job looking for someone to play Goku!
-
and think they did a badass job looking for someone to play Goku!
Think you mean half-ass.
-
I really think they did an awesome job casting Chatwin. It's pretty obvious that they weren't going to be casting an A-list, even B-list actor. Then you have to get someone who is young and will be able to play a teenage Goku. Then finally they have to get an actor who has fans or a fan club, etc.
The list is pretty short, who you have preferred Shia La Beouf? No wait, you guys were rooting for George Clooney, right? What about Tom Cruise?

Who ever said anything about casting super well known highest quality actors?
-
Even if you got A list actors for a live action DragonBall adaptation you still couldn't get me to go watch it.

The scans have been translated, here's some comments from the actors:
@Jump SQ:
Justin Chatwin (Goku)
I am very honored to be able to play Goku. When I am playing gentle and loving Goku, I feel as if I am given energy from him. In the movie, I have a lot of great action scenes. After the movie is finished post production, I’ll get to see my Kamehameha appear on the screen, and I get very excited when I imagine that.
Chow Yun-Fat (Master Roshi)
On my career as an actor, it is my first time to play a manga character. Dragonball is read all over the world, have many hard core fans. I hope they won’t be disappointed by my acting (laugh). But to be honest with you, I’m totally satisfied with my performance as Master Roshi.
Emmy Rossum (Bulma)
It is a very exciting thing for me to play Bulma, because I’m a big fan of her myself. She’s intelligent, motivated and has a short temper like a teenager. I really want to make all the fans of her happy.
Joon Park (Yamcha)
I like Dragonball very much because I read it when I was child, so when I got to audition I begged the director to “Please give me any small part, like a man carrying sandbags behind the screen.” (laugh) Furthermore, there is Chow Yun-Fat who is my hero from when I was child. This is a dream role for me.
Glad we finally get some more info about Goku's character in the movie, and I'm excited and a bit relieved. Plus, Kamehameha.
-
I don't know whether or not the other three are lying that they've seen/are a fan of Dragonball. Honestly, I care not.
But… "gentle and loving" Goku? I'm not saying Goku ISN'T gentle and loving... But all the scans we've seen of Chatwin Goku show him ready to kill someone.
-
he looks like a jackass
ATM I kinda agree with you on that.
EDIT: just read kaboom's post….that had to be the most annoying statements I've read yet. -
My dad just saw the picture for 1 second and walked away shaking his head
-
Shouldn't throw stones.
:getlost:Okay, okay, I got it…everyone has got the right for their own opinion about what is better. But some people are just biased towards Sayajin saga and beyond Dragonball for the stupidest reason.
-
@Tizoc: Where's that avatar from?
I just saw the Speed Racer movie and I think that I would be happy if they made the Dragonball movie like that. Yeah it was over the top but it stayed true the source material(wtf Mach 6?). People may have thought it was too crazy, but I loved it!
-
I can only hope this movie will be as funny as that Street Fighter live action was.
Yeah it was over the top but it stayed true the source material(wtf Mach 6?).
…wait, what?
-
So, we are getting Kamehameha's.
Who's for them marketing the movies like they did Burst Limit? Not given they're lying (which I don't think most of them are) I think it's great most of the cast are fans/became fans of Dragonball. We already knew Masters was.

Interview with "Mr. Piccolo" himself, James Marsters…
@James Marsters:
What is the difference between the original and the live-action movie ?
JM: Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original. But it’s a necessary change because we need to condense the long story of the original for a movie. For example, some characters in the original don’t appear in the movie. And we try to give it a more gritty and graphic (realistic) feeling.
Though there are differences between the two, I think it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains. I let my son watch the anime’s Dragonball, DBZ and DBGT since he was eight years old. At first, I thought it was too violent, but I realized this is the best show for training to become a true man. True men need not to flaunt themselves. Their calm, gentle and modest but when it comes to the crunch they don’t hesitate to kill the enemy, and I think that’s what Goku is.
Goku is a real man. I know my son received such a message and applied it to his own life. My son doesn’t use violence to others, but he isn’t afraid of his own anger. I think it’s an important thing.
How many hours does it take to apply the make-up?
JM: It takes about four hours. Luckily, my make-up artist is very chatty, we have a lot of chat during the make up.
Please tell us the most remarkable scene in the movie, especially action scenes!
JM: It is the last battle after all! I like playing the battle scene. When I worked for a TV show for seven years, every Friday I fought till sun rise, I felt I would never have such a good time again until now. In addition, I have never gotten terribly hurt (laugh).
Do you talk with other co-stars as well?
JM: When I have a problem, I have a talk with Justin [Chatwin]. At first, we worried about the costumes. We thought it should reflect the spirit of the original, we persisted this thought to the producers. We didn’t want to make our characters beautiful and safe. I talked with Justin, and he agreed with me. So did the director.
What do you care about in acting for this movie?
JM: That’s a good question. Speaking of Piccolo, one word comes into my mind, it’s “loneliness”. Piccolo is always floating in the air in the beautiful landscape, but he never even admires the landscape, he is only thinking or musing and staring at his feet. I think that is a characteristic of piccolo more than anything else. Maybe it must be a characteristic for revenge. He hates himself and blames the people who has trapped him. His desire to kill not only them but their family, furthermore to destroy the city and the planet they live and protect. To get revenge is everything to him. Everything.
How was shooting in Durango?
JM: The desert of Durango is very cold at night (laugh). I was luckily wearing armor, but Goku was freezing at the beginning of shooting. The local people are very kind and get along with us. Besides they love to party very much! If I didn’t have work, I would be willing to join them. They are drinking and singing songs until 4:30 a.m. But I need to sleep for the shooting the next day, after all so I changed the hotel to get away from the partying people.
Finally, please give us a message to our readers in Japan.
JM: Japan is beautiful. Thank you for giving Dragonball to us! It’s an important show to us all and I want you to watch it, especially the young people. I thank the show for a lot of good times with my son. I’ll do my best to meet the high expectations the fans have.

Since when did ALL of America respect Dragonball? Did I miss something or is this just an overstatement?
Honestly, this is what sucks about Anime Live Action Movies. I can't watch Speed Racer until it comes out on DVD since only one person (that person saw a 30 minute preview on AOL) is dying to see it besides me. Everyone is either biased, doubtful, or apathetic.
I swear to God. If One Piece gets a movie, NO MATTER WHAT I'm forcing everyone to see it in theater. NO MATTER HOW BAD IT IS!!! (I realize I'm going to Hell.)
-
bet you cant make me…
It seems like he really likes the movie and his job
-
-
Can i use my family? I think my cuz could solo

I believe he was referring to everyone working on the movie, which I imagine they would find it important if they… well, making a movie based on it.
-
I found a New poster of the movie
-
Man…this movie's gonna be gay...
-
The hair look odd at that angle, but the clothes aren't too bad. Stylized, yes, but pretty good.
Look like they may be trying to recreate the 'anime proportions' in that poster. The height of that sash gives him the 'short torso, LONG legs' look.
-
I think it looks mighty fine. Tho I'm getting confused here, it seems the outfit changes with each new image we get.
-

also-doesnt the cover breathe "Mortal combat cover"-rippoff?
-
Guess you guys beat me too it.

No.
-
I personally really like their revision of the outfit. It's both true to the original, and stylish.
-
Inverse of Goku's outfit from GT orange gi, with inner blue shirt,& blue pants.
-
Its more like a combination of the two outfits Goku wore in Dragonball. The first purple one, and then the orange one.
-
Blue, not purple. >.>
-
@Yuugi's:
Blue, not purple. >.>
Depends on which incarnation you're watching/reading.
Anyway, I've been geeking out about the costume since it was shown. This is gonna rock so hard. Chatwin-Goku was the only aspect of the film I had any anxiety about, but it's looking better and better with each tidbit we get.
Even Daizex's naysayers are starting to pipe down about it, and when you get Daizexers to stop complaining, THAT'S an accomplishment.
-
We were not talking of Bulma's hair, were we?
I wouldn't say [we at Daizex] are 'piping down' but we are a bit more responsive to a cool outfit.
-
Well we know that the movie will at least use better effects.
If it doesn't, it's sad cause it's fan made….Still, It's really good. -
I saw that months ago, before i even knew about the movie in production. Still is decent though. But i gotta say who ever plays Gohan/ Saiyaman was badly casted.

Interview with Chi Chi
4JJ0_miKO_8
-
That trailer proves that this movie fails. I was for it, light began to shine, but then a hot asian chick says she is playing chi-chi in highschool, she dates a jock and that Ox King is no where to be found.
Marsters please save us. Blow the Joker out of the water (psyc') and show us this movie still retains it's soul :cwy: -
She really does look like shes in high school [/sarcasm]
-
I'm the only one who isn't down about this film. XD Yes, Chi Chi's in highschool and dates a jock, but on the upside… she's hot and another fan of the series.
-
Then why is she fine with crappy fanfic script they're using for this movie?
-
Then why is she fine with crappy fanfic script they're using for this movie?
She was too preoccupied with the numbers she found on her paycheck.
I agree though. It's nice that she is a fan…and hot.
-
Then why is she fine with crappy fanfic script they're using for this movie?
Because you can be a fan of something and not act like a child when they alter things for a live-action adaptation.
At first, I understood why people were upset, but now it seems like everyone's getting upset over little random things. It's pretty lame.
-
I still don't understand why people think it was going to be a manga->movie transition
There's no way there was going to be a human pig and a little fuzzy bat thing running around
You assholes need to just give the movie a chance, cause chances are, the fight scenes will still be good
-
But there's still the chance of the movie will be 99%
And not because of the changes.
-
Before, live action adaptions such of this were made more realistic cause it lessens the budget. Now they're made like this so it's not fucking silly. Seriously, a live action redemption of Dragonball would be… ridiculous. Only people who'd possibly like it would be hardcore fans, but they'd be bitching at who's portraying the characters and how tiny little things were changed. General movie-goers and critics would simply be going "Wtf is this shit?"

Redemption? redemption of what?
-
I meant "rendition". Sorry.
-
Well, Dragonball's a silly franchise.
