Fox has shifted the release of their live-action DRAGONBALL flick to next year. Originally scheduled for August 15th, it would’ve had to face Ben Stiller’s TROPIC THUNDER and the computer-animated STAR WARS: CLONE WARS theatrical release, so the studio has perhaps wisely decided to open April of 2009 with some ridiculous punching for the fate of the universe, or whatever the interminable manga and anime were purportedly about.
The movie stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Ernie Hudson, Emmy Rossum and, mystifyingly, Chow Yun-Fat. James Wong, who previously envisioned cartoonish brawls in THE ONE, directs the action with (presumably) normal-sized heads.
