Another thing for people complaining about the budget being "only" $100 million that I forgot to mention before... the article doesn't even say that. It just says that the budget for all three of these proposed movies will be "at least" $100 million, but since the movie will no doubt certainly be shot mostly against bluescreens with B-list or C-list actors, I doubt that it'll cost significantly more than that for reasons I've already stated.

Man I am super excited about this.
HELLO!!! Why is everyone complaining so much? If this becomes a mainstream success it can only help further the popularity of anime in the states. This might get people excited like "O man this anime stuff is actually pretty cool". This has so much potential. I for one have been wanting this to happen ever since I first saaw DBZ I don't care if they dont stick true to the story. A new story would be just as good as the anime as long as they stay true to the charcter personality thats all. |

I'm just waiting for Viz to let a greedy studio destroy Naruto.

I can Picture the beginning of the movie…
A long, long time ago, in a far away country of Asia know as “MongTiang Kanada” Danny Powell is being trained by his granddad to become the greatest master of a forgotten martial art known as “karati monkey!!!”

What, and lose out on the sensation of doing it themselves? Although, this latest OVA-movie is at least hitting DVD before CN, so they might be learning.
Let us hope for as much, since it will still be better than
... do NOT hire A or B-List. No. Just don't do it.
Ohhh, but then those poor HFIL ogres will be covered in ice.
I went to flip a coin to figure out which, but it seems to be stuck to the table tails-up. |

FINALLY!?! I still don't believe this is going to happen. If it's going to start filming and I've heard NOTHING about it, this movie might be in for a lot of suckage. Last time I heard about it, they mentioned Brendan Fraser as Goku, which was stupid.
I know I shouldn't be down on something before I at least see set pics, but this smells either bad or like BS rumor. At least Uwe Boll is not mentioned anywhere in this article. The bright side is that technology could now support a DBZ movie. Ten years ago, not so much. We've got stuff like 300, Sin City, Final Fantasy Advent Children, Lord of the Rings, and a few other movies that used computer imagery to their benefit. Bad or not, I will see this movie. Maybe not in theaters, though. |

If you google DBZ live action movie it will give you this link to someone who did like a cast of people who would be able to play the chacters. It was well put together but the problem was they were all well known actors and it would never come together that perfectly because it would cost to much. Heres what it looked like from what i can remember.
Vegeta- Jet Li Goku- the who played Lu Kang from Mortal Kombat Piccolo- either Vin Diesel or Wesely Snipes Bulma- Jessica Alba Nappa- Bill Golberg and alot of other people i can't remember but it was cool. I am very excited for this even if it sucks o well at least it was made so what I always tried to picture this in my mind what it would look like and now we will finale get a chance to see. I don't know how they are going to get this at 100million, i mean all of the effects they have to do; flying, powers, transformations, etc. etc. etc. |

Wow, I love how all these people with their head up their butt are already saying that the movie is going to bomb or how it's going to be the Street Fighter movie again or how it will be in the IMDB bottom 100.
They haven't even announced a director and you're already saying that? There is no news except one article that doesn't even seem credible. Wow. Really. That's just pure fan stupidity,
All three productions done by next July? Where are you pulling this info from? Really. What source other than your own imagination. You're right. Fans need to learn how to source crap, not just continue passing rumors around the internet. If you read the article, they're talking about two other films, not DBZ films.
Seriously, stop spreading the sh--. Such fan castings are very unintelligent. They just take popular names with vague relation to the characters. Hell, the only way to make that list worst is to add the stupid old idea of Jackie Chan as Goku. You know, because there are only like five Asian martial artist actors working in the world, right? Dear crap these fans are so out of it. Also, let's not forget the end of Matrix 3 or even Sin City or 300. A comic book can be adapted correctly and they can do the effects of DBZ. With the right director and effect studios, it;s quite possible. Personally, I don't care one way or another. I was shown about 50 eps of DBZ by a friend who's a fan and I liked it. A live action movie isn't needed, but it could still be good. |

You're making it sound like I'M the one who's casting the characters. Wesley Snipes. End of story. I just said his name, for hellz sakes, what's wrong with you people? And sorry, you're not the one who's getting the last say whose going to be listed. Mind you, I'm sure FOX does know that there are millions of fans that know we will stab them with more than just pitchforks if they f*ck it up. >.>; I'm pretty sure that they'll mostly cast people that we haven't heard of... ...Maybe...
Actually, I understand what you mean when you say that. But if you haven't forgotten, they did temporarily play the uncut version of CN when it was aired again. I personally doubt that it'll be rated PG. I'm pretty sure it will at least be PG-13, considering it won't be an Animated feature anymore. Look at Pirates of the Caribbean. If Disney got away with a PG-13 movie, why can't FOX?  In a way, I just want to say, to hell with the young audience. I'm sure most viewers were still between the ages of 13-19....something along the sort.
^__^ Just have to wait and see. |

I'm going to be optimistic with this one like I am with all these types of things. Even if it is a bomb I think it would be funny watching the horrible acting and guys "powering up" or whatever. Oh and whoever said that it would be good for anime to go mainstream needs to kill themselves. That is one of the last things I want.

Tenchi:
There're also things like ki, glowing auras, and Piccolo's appendages.
Considering most of the WWE is on drugs right now, they're gonna have a tough time finding dudes with muscles who are clean.  I mean look how expensive the Hulk ended up being.
Xenos:
Yeah, well they have a right to be wary after the LXG movie. Plus that last Fantastic Four movie indicates FOX doesn't even care about the writing anymore. I wouldn't even call it a movie, just a big-budget fanfic. |

Shooting will begin shortly for 20th Century Fox's upcoming live-action adaptation of Dragonball Z. The budget for the film is estimated to be at least US$100 million. This will be one of three big-budget movies that Fox will film in Montreal over the fall and winter, along with a sequel to Ben Stiller's "A Night at the Museum" and a Roland Emerich remake of 1966's "Fantastic Voyage." Production work on all three films is expected to wrap up by July of next year. Source: Montreal Gazette Really, if you're gonna act like a smartass, try being smart first. If you wanted, you could've disputed if the Montreal Gazette was a good source at all (like previously done in the topic), but the statement you dished out is purely under-reseached (and the funny thing is that reading that short paragraph practically given right in front of you was all the research needed to be done to intelligently discuss the topic). And yes, I'm sure the person you quoted referred to those three movies, not three DBZ movies if that comes up to be your defense. And no, I don't believe that there is a fourth secret movie in that shadows to be made in Montreal when they say, "Production work on all three films is expected to wrap up by July of next year" if you want to exclude DBZ in the list at all.
If you've bother to read the statement he made at all (which I have to say is not your strong point; you have a habit of reading what you want to read), the list was referred to as "this link to someone who did like a cast of people who would be able to play the chacters". Now unless this "someone" was even hinted as the casting director or whatever, then he's not spreading anything. Although old, he's just informing us of old dream actors for the stated roles. So, unless you intend to dictate how we should think for your idea of the perfect world, please refrain from posting your elite bullsh-- crap. |
