Alright so there have been tons of rumors floating around "They're making a DBZ live movie!" "They're not making a DBZ live movie!" well I found out that they ARE making it. In fact they have casted Goku and Piccolo already and they plan on an opening day of August 15 or 18 in 2008. The thing that gets me is that they have casted it horribly! Justin Chatwin will be Goku and James Marsters will be Piccolo...They don't even look like them! But hopefully with enough training and make up they'll look the part...hopefully

James Wong is directing it (the guy who made the first 'Final Destination' which was the best FD movie and the only good one and 'The One'...which wasn't all that great.) Stephen Chow will be producing it (The guy who produced 'Kung Fu Hustle' and 'Shaolin Soccer') and the stunt team who correographed the Matrix and 300 are doing the stunts for this one also. So the fight scenes should look like AwesomeSauce. 

But really I have no idea of what to think of this. I used to think that making a Live action DBZ movie would be so friggin' awesome my eyes would pop out, but seeing who they have casted I'm starting to wonder if it'll even come out decently. What do you guys think?

Is it going to be english? If it is, I can see it being no where near Akira's vision T.T I can only hope for best ^^; Spike is a good cast for looks though :) Turn him green and he is SO Piccolo ^^

I wouldn't think they'd make the actors learn japanese if that's what you mean o.O

 
I can sorta see how they casted Justin Chatwin...sorta... but Spike to me in no way looks like Piccolo. He's too skinny and his voice is way to high compared to Piccolo's. Christopher Judge would make a better Piccolo in my opinion. Because He's got the body type and he looks like him and also he's got that deep voice that Piccolo has.

I geuss with the technoligy of the present they can do something about the Energy blasts, i hope theyjust don't overreact.

It's most likely going to suck. But most likely I'm going to pay the 8 bucks to see this crap in the theater anyway because I am such a DBZ fan. I hope for god sakes they pick someone good for Vegeta or I might just die.

I know I really hope they don't screw it up...gosh I really, really hope they don't but I'm not going to pass jugdment just yet cause Transformers was plain awesome so I'm not sure. But as for Vegeta I don't think he'll be in this one. They're starting it at the end of the Dragonball series where Piccolo was still a villain. Probably in the sequel (if they make one) Vegeta will be in it.

Luck...KEY!! We pay $14 in NZ for movies :< Mind you, we have less seeing them....

Live movie?  I am frightened.  Someone hold me...  :wacko:

I'm gonna have to agree with Susie....Vegeta will be hard to caste.

Nevermind Goku...Piccolo...ugh.  I'm getting sick already thinking how badly this movie could go!

Damnit. No Vegeta? Alright. Well whatever.

im almost glad there will be no Vegeta. There is no way a living human can match my Veggie. Who ever they would choose I'd disagree and be disappointed
