I've wondered many a time why Emmy Rossum isn't a bigger star. She's beautiful, talented, classy... so why isn't she more of a Natalie Portman? Maybe she needs someone to help make her acting decisions. After taking time off movies to work on a CD, Rossum will return with a starring role in Fox's DRAGONBALL. DRAGONBALL? Seriously? Yup, seriously. Rossum will star as Bulma, a girl whose father's Dragon Ball is stolen by the villainous Piccolo (Marsters). Justin Chatwin previously signed on to play the lead, Goku, a warrior protecting the universe from evil forces. James Wong (FINAL DESTINATION) is directing from a script he wrote. Rossum has been plagued by poor acting choices from the underperforming PHANTOM OF THE OPERA to the just plain terrible POSEIDON. This is a girl who was a member of the Metropolitan Opera and sang with Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti. And now DRAGONBALL? But hey, a girl's gotta make a buck, right? I can't fault her for that. DRAGONBALL is currently filming in Mexico and Los Angeles.

Extra Tidbit: Rossum graduated high school at 15 through Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY).

I wonder...
can people in Hollywood really be this stupid? How is it that every regular movie schmoe KNOWS that the idea of a live-action Dragonball Z movie is a terrible idea, yet not only is it in production but there are actual quality actors and f-ing James Wong is directing! How do they get Rossum and Marsters (who doesn't need the money since Enchanted and Hairspray did so well) to star in this gar...

well she's doing something
It sucks that she's stuck with DRAGONBALL, but at least she's DOING SOMETHING, and perhaps it will help bring her attention to future bigger, better projects.

WHAT THE HELL?
I thought this actress was supposed to be the next big thing.

Less Portman, more Anne Hathaway.

You bastard. I almost vomited when I read the title. But yeah I agree, she probably chose the roll because it will give her a cash fix. But damn, she is better than that.
