NEWS: No Live Action DBZ from Fox

Since Fox lost Family Guy and Futurama to AdultSwim, I think their ratings are getting pretty low...

A contact that he spoke with on the phone is not the same thing as someone involved in the production of a film. At no point did myself or my webmaster claim to have talked to somebody directly involved.

From http://www.dragonballz.com/index2.cfm?page=live, which was entitled "UNCONFIRMED-NOT ENDORSED BY FUNimation Productions Ltd.":

"...So there you have it folks. Another death nail in the DBZ live action movie coffin. That isn't to say that the film will never be made. There are other major studios besides FOX and other effects houses aside from ILM....

"...So there you have it folks. That is the OFFICIAL story from FOX. I know some of you might be disappointed, but I also think it's a blessing."

Anyway, Kyle, just admit you blew it. You tried to present an unofficial statement as fact, based on third-hand information, and you came up empty-handed.

sinister: For now.

Seriously, what is your problem????????? I didn't blow anything. How can I come up empty-handed when this has nothing to do with me in the first place? Just so ya know, EVERYTHING you quoted in your latest reply was from my webmaster's original post, NOT Funimation.

They said they weren't endorsing it, and who knows why an official site decided to post something they wouldn't endorse?

I am sure if you called FOX right now and talked to the person that answers they will probably deny it again.

It was an innocent investigative report (regardless of how it was done) to get to the bottom of a long awaited confirmation on this movie. I didn't see you, GATSU making an effort to find anything out about this, but you are quick to sling mud about it.

Also your AHEM "You tried to present an unofficial statement as fact, based on third-hand information" Doesn't every SITE base its news on 3rd party info, are we to all now NOT source sites that have found something out?.

In fact wouldn't ANN be guilty of this as they OUT Source 3rd party sites (whether right or wrong).

Whah whah whah, He was GIVEN the wrong INFORMATION by someone at FOX and it turned out to be just that, Wrong. to sit there and criticize them for it really says a lot of your moral character and intellegence.

Don't you get it yet, FOX is the one who made the mistake by telling them it wasn't being made.

Once again KYLE didn't report this a site admin did, ripping into Kyle serves what purpose again?? other than to boost your own ego by putting someone else down.

Actually, I did find out about this by checking out the official site and called Kyle's site on it a while ago... Harry Knowles and talk to a janitor instead of a producer, go ahead

If the site has official information, then it's only second-hand information

I've only seen ANN make one mistake in the years I've read their site,by talking to some random fan about the Evangelion movies

The thing is, it wasn't FOX the corporation that made the statement. It was just some lackey who handles random callers who don't matter, unless they're famous. If it was FOX, you'd be seeing it printed in a major newspaper by now.

Then get a better site admin., because he/she's making Kyle look bad

I don't think An average joe blow Like Outer world steve would be ABLE to talk to a producer from a major company like fox.

And well If you think that it is soooo easy to call and confirm if a bit is truth or not then why didn't you call ??

I mean if Steve could call FOX couldn't you pick up the phone and Dial the number (unless mommy and daddy won't let you make Long distance calls) ??

Really Is it, I have seen ANN source many sites who had Sourced another site EVEN sourced something from word of mouth. (IE from Warner Brothers to reuters To ANN isn't that 3rd party since ANN didn't get the speed racer bit from Warner bros, OMG what is Reuters was wrong and Warner brothers gave them wrong info would Reuters be to blame ??).

And the report on the Live Action DBZ movie doesn't fit this Qualification of a MISTAKE??

So what happened is they called FOX and they got transfered to someone who was posing as an employee of FOX??

Also FOX has confirmed this,

should I expect it posted at some newspaper and would you please be kind enough to let me know Which newspaper and when it gets printed

Then ANN better get a new admin as well since they posted a NON-Verified Article and it turned out to be WRONG.

Oh wait I know, ANN trusted KH.com cause they thought it was a credible source and figured they didn't need to confirm it any further.

OMG thats DejaVU, cause didn't KH.com Trust what they thought to be a FOX employee and didn't further the inquiry as they took this FOX PHONE CALL as a credible source (I mean you dial the number provided by FOX, who would've thought you would get a NON-FOX employee on the line LOL)

Again, they weren't the ones who were responsible for verifying it.

Then he shouldn't be acting like he did.

didn't have to call. As I said earlier, I just checked FUNimation's Dragon Ball site. But I admit it was pretty easy

That doesn't make any sense at all Isn't calling a fox number a form of VERIFYING it.

Since when do you decide who is A LOWER employee at a company you do not work at..... ??

And an online NEWSPAPER is more credible than calling the actual company ??

If that is the case isn't ANN taking a big chance by calling the KANG studio and talking to a lower employee ??
More so Isn't almost all info Gathered by magazines done this way CALLING the offices??

Didn't see it in his post that he ever stated talking to a producer YOu think he said that.... SAY IT WITH ME ASSume

Wasn't the official site posting something WRONG as well ??

I may be mis-understanding your post BUt that doesn't say anything about how easy it is to call a company like Fox KNOW who you are talking to and request to talk to a PRODUCER to confirm a bit about a DBZ movie that they may want to keep under wraps.

In fact ANN themselves (one of the biggest sites for anime news) stated they didn't talk to the producer himself.

Now you are focusing on the word "Official" and rightfully so as that may have been the downfall of the post, BUT is it truely fair to rip them for stating what was told to them by a FOX representative cause if you are as smart as you sound THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT A PERSON WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE AT A BUSINESS "A REPRESENTATIVE".

Thats like me ripping on ANN for reporting something that was FALSE such as this topic,

they sourced an IGN article who sourced KH.com and it was wrong, doesn't that make ANN JUST as wrong for not VERIFYING something posted by a FANSITE (AS you so clearly stated in your own words)??

Same situation I mean ANN has the sources to verify sich a thing are they at fault for not verifying something a FANSITE reported??

Once again ANN took the credibility of KH/IGN word and didn't follow through JUST as KH.com Admin took the word of a FOX REPRESENTATVE and they turned out to be wrong. ANN nor KH is to blame, FOX needs to get their CRAP straight.
