Dragonball pics! Apr. 4, 2008
Comments: 32

\"\"
Source: JoBlo.com

UPDATE: The studio asked us to remove these pics from our website, and we have complied.

DRAGONBALL

We had an operative stashed inside the production of the action adventure DRAGONBALL, the feature adaptation of the popular anime of the same name, and today, said operative delivered. We have our first real glimpse into the aesthetic of the film. There's even a couple pics of a quite in cognito Emmy Rossum.

Here's a little plot summary for you to chew on: "A young boy named Goku seeks out upon his grandfather's dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world."Justin Chatwin stars as Goku with Yun-Fat Chow as Roshi, the aforementioned Rossum as Bulma and James Marsters as the nefarious Piccolo. It's set for release April 3rd of next year.

Get'em while they're hot, people, they could be gone soon! Thank you, operative, who we'll keep anonymous for safety purposes. Unless you wish to be named, in which case we'll gladly do so!

Extra Tidbit: Star Chatwin apparently didn't have to put on a crazy wig to resemble that of his anime counterpart as director James Wong felt his hair was already kinda nutty.

I can't beleive all of you so called fans can be liking this! I'm not a fan of DBZ i've seen a couple of episodes and it didn't sure hell look like this! Holy shit this film is going to piss of the fans, while Fox will make the money because fans will see it, so they can produce more crapppy films such as Meet the Spartans!

I'm glad I am not the only person who saw that abomination Fist of the North Star movie, i'm a hardcore fan FOTNS and the film pissed me of so much and Speed Racer too but thats another story. I mean how hard is it to make a FOTHS film it basic story is like THE ROAD WARRIOR!!!!! DO UNDERSTAND HOLLYWOOD, THE ROAD WARRIOR!!!! Fuck hollywood, and you can tell how they don't care about the japanese fans, let alone cast a bunch of chinese actors in the roles with americans.

The show isn't exactly something you can take seriously... I mean it is about a kid who is an alien that gets stronger if he's hurt and turns into a 50 foot tall monkey in the full moon.

Who knows? It could be as awesomely bad as the Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat movies. They don't have any real value as movies, but they sure as hell are fun at parties.

There is no way Dragonball or Dragonball Z could translate exactly to a film... it's too damn long, but I still think they can capture the feel of the anime and have a fun, energetic and entertaining movie. I mean, it's freaking Dragonball... you can't expect some Oscar winning movie or anything. It's obviously being aimed towards pre-teens and teens and I don't know. I think it'll be fun.

I second what the guy below said. They're totally amateurish set shots. But, with that said, I'm still not looking forward to it.

Also, none of these photos have a shot of Chatwin in character except, perhaps, the one with the monk holding a candle so I'll hold off any judgment on this for now.

Just judging by these pictures here, this movie is looking HORRIBLE. Is the production designer just playing with us? Did these people make Street Fighter? The Dragonball series could be made into AWESOME movies but it looks like they're just going to settle for one 'okay' movie (and AWESOME ticket sales of course). If they're not gonna TRY to keep the spirit of the original source (like Peter Jackson did with LOTR), then they should just throw together a totally crap plot, bad acting and fake CGI stuff with a non-stop annoying soundtrack so that it's CLEAR that it's based on the FUNimation show. Then at least MAYBE someone could get away with making a REAL version (oh please, PLEASE make a REAL one).

The guy in the pics that obviously looks like he's playing GOKU Isn't Justin Chatwin, is that the stunt double? or have they replaced Justin for an unknown actor to play the lead character? which I would say looks better as GOKU than Justin C. hmm...I'm confused, another thing, doesn't Bulma (Emmy Rossum) have blue hair in the cartoon? so much for being true to the TV show, I'm not sure about this film anymore.
