Behold the juiciest piece of information we've encountered so far on Dragonball. Boys and girls, feast your pretty little eyes on the photo on the right. It's the first ever shot of Son Goku from the Dragonball movie.
As you can see, real people are found on it. This simply means the whole movie adaptation is going to be one great live action movie. The promotional image was first spotted in Weekly Shonen Jump, which incidentally is also where the Dragonball manga originally appeared in.
So far, there's still little information and details on this upcoming film. Justin Chatwin from the movie War of the Worlds will be playing the lead role as Son Goku. Chow Yun-Fat will be playing Master Roshi.
As for the crew, James Wong from Final Destination will be the director and Stephen Chow from Shaolin Soccer will be the producer. That's about it for the movie. Well, enjoy the scan we've provided here. We promise to keep you guys updated with more news on this upcoming movie.

Don't just spike the guys hair up like he's a Tetsuya Nomura character! This is Akira Toriyama.. and the character is an ALIEN!
Get it right!

The character's hair is supposed to be messy and unkempt. I'd say they hit the nail on the head.

That looks nothing like Goku and if you look at his shirt, it looks like it will be a modernized, more-realistic approach. He isn't wearing the traditional orange Gi, but instead just some random long-sleeve shirt with the old logo on it.

Anyway, it goes both ways, i have seen japanese remakes of original American films/stories, as well as other countries, especially if the series is popular it that area (as DB ans DBZ was in US)
On a lighter note, i hope it does not suck, because it will hurt my childhood (and maybe my manhood, depending on who i see it with, lol)

at least QJ used to be known as PSPupdates.net
nowadays QJ is so much more than just console news
*MyQJ* (not sure, blogs i think), *QJ.NET* (Main Page) , *Apple* (PC that most virii wont run on...but neither will most programs), *Mobile* (Mobile technologies such as phones, PDAs, Notebooks, iPods and other mobile tech), *Photo* (Photography I'm guessing), *Science* (find awesome stuff here), *MMORPG* (those time consuming online games normally associated with nerdness), *Nintendo DS* (Hello the first console and the only one from this generation i dont yet own), *Wii* (nothing to do with DS...OK if you dont take games seriously...i however do and would only play brunswick bowling and NiGHTS:Journey into Dreams (retro memories from sega saturn days)), *World of Warcraft* (Never tried it but is one of the MMORPG games mentioned before), *PlayStation 3* (my favourite console of this generation mainly due to brand loyalty {yes I'm a fan boy, but note i dont think sony are better than microsoft to say..i just hope sony do well with every release because ive learnt to trust the brand...if i was to be honest i couldnt pick between x360 and ps3 gamewise...ps3 would win still because of bluray player), *PSP* (Awesome, even better homebrewed....thanks to pandora and Despertar Del Cementerio), *Tabula Rasa* (i have no idea what this is), *Xbox 360* (Great machine with great games...i have ixtreme firmware...pity the ixtreme firmwares only let you play backup\pirated ISO's and not homebrew), *Gadgets* (007 Type Devices), *PC Gaming* (the best gaming platform now and ever...too versatile and too easy to perform simple upgrades to ever be beaten), *DL.QJ* (download centre), *Trade Games* (wanna swap a crap game for one thats even worse?).
i could of said it alot shorter
but this site has never focused solely on DS
once upon a time it focused squarely on PSP (PSPupdates.net)
what does it have to do with games in general
nothing....except for those popular DBZ games

Stephen Chow is so talented he can take any crappy idea and make it super awesome....shaolin wid soccer...wtf...kung fu mix with gangs seems to old fashion mix wid modern criminals.....
But he delivers...dam well miracles......
the only problem is he is a producer not part of the cast...
his talents can pull him through anything...but these so call young actors can barely act half @$$ed....not to mention the need to be fit, agressive and physical......
we got some laid back spoil america kids who are too busy raping and worring about their finger nails who can barely act or has any fist fighting action movie with the exception of Chow yun-fat....
I hope they would make it an asian movie because they understand this stuff.....Americans are not ready and don't appreciate these high intensity, FAST pace action pact movies...
Fat will have to do alot to get this rolling as the other characters are quite useless to play a "Dragonball movie".
I'm a big fan of Stephen Chow and believes in his miracles.....
I hope he overcomes the wall of china here and delivers...still much love to both Chows

Really, it sounds like you have an inferiority complex. When you can afford to make a Dragon Ball movie, get whoever you want to play in it. Just realize that IT DOESN'T HURT YOU that this movie is made in America, staring Americans. You have no obligation to watch it. It can only effect you if you let it.

"To attain the quintessence of Dragon Ball, many of the actors were given unique hairstyles to resemble their anime counterparts (Emmy Rossum in particular was given two separate wigs for her role as Bulma, a traditional blue one as well as a never before seen pink one). Justin Chatwin, though, has no such hairdo since James Wong felt his hair resembled Goku's spiky hairstyle close enough without actually being silly."

the seven samurai was adapted into a western in the 60's named the magnificent 7.
secondly I know hundreds who dont want to read subtitles or have to watch an overdub.
get out America's ass and realize there are far more people out there who deserve to see ANY story they are willing to pay for. so stuff it,.
