Dragon Ball Z live movie launch date, partial cast revealed

Here's a little update concerning one of the Dragon Ball Z movies approved by film production company 20th Century Fox. News about this has been going around the Internet for some years now but it was only back in September of this year when its production was finally given the green light.

According to the latest statement issued by 20th Century Fox in Hong Kong, the live action movie Dragon Ball will start production later this year and is scheduled for a worldwide simultaneous release on August 15, 2008. The cast is still not yet complete but confirmed personalities that are involved in the project include:
  • Stephen Chow as Producer (known for Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle)
  • James Wong as Director (writer for the TV series The X-Files and director of Final Destination)
  • Justin Chatwin as Son Goku (played the son of Tom Cruise's character in War of the Worlds)
  • James Marsters as Piccolo (played the vampire Spike on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
While there's no official statement as to what particular saga in the wide Dragon Ball universe the live movie will take place, we have a strong reason to believe that it will be based on the Piccolo saga. This speculation comes from 20th Century Fox's own description of Piccolo as the main enemy of Goku.

I think fans would like to see some spiked up hair. lol

but all in all, it's okay if they start at the piccolo saga, that way, there can be sequels I guess. :)

Well, if the hollywood personnel play their cards right. This may turn out be a one heckuva Blockbuster movie. And yeah, Justin kinda looks like Goku, just without the hairdo :P.

HELL! I DIDN"T KNOW ABOUT THIS!!! Since when have they been talking about a live action film!? Wow... I really need to pay attention more... I wonder if this movie is gonna be like that movie Surge... It sucked... But you never know. It could be an awesome movie. (wonder what the saiyans would look like in real life...you know how Goku is all bursting with golden energy... yeah, I could see that.)

Yeah, the Manga is even better than the cartoon, for both Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.

# Goku and Piccolo Hello???Brightstar01 2007-11-26 11:32
Hey,



I know its too late to tell my opinion on who should play goku and piccolo, but isnt obvious That piccolo should be played by Samuel L Jackson or Orlando Jones? Did anyone think about giving them a call at all? I think goku could be played by a female, maybe Angie Harmon from Law and Order?? She has a cute face and a tough attitude. I couldnt go on having this opinion in my mind without trying to get it out somewhere...but its just too late..
