Nope, I went to Asia's site, it's under her "Bulletins" page. Laughing

And I know that having a show with a somewhat suggestive name coupled with a blog of a Retired Porn Star lamenting being preggers for not being able to be in a movie is just ripe for a ton of jokes. Too bad those puritanical morons at the FCC won't let me say it.

IIRC i saw Carrera in a segment of G4Tech TV's Players,she's seems to be a hardcore pornstar into hardcore gaming.Although She's a hottie, (but that's a given) i dismiss the credibility of a studio for casting some pornstar in a (youth oriented genre) Movie. Talk about "Fan service". Laughing

She won't be the first porn-"actress" to crossover to stardom. Hey,it worked for other hoe's like Tracy Lords (Blade) and Paris Hilton (who's involved in just about anything nowadays,and yes there's even another sex tape of the Paris somewhere.. Twisted Evil Wink )

What's funny is that she has several pictures of herself on her website without the pornstar make-up. My wife & I both agree that she looks much better without the tons of make-up.

Wasn't Traci Lords in some sort of kidvid action show? Or was that some other pornstar I'm thinking of? I'm doubting we'll see any top level actors for any DBZ film. More likely Pro Westlers, Porn stars, and some familiar character actors.

I'm sorry but if you think this was an ok idea, you are crazy. Of course some people will just get excited over it because it has the words Dragon Ball Z on it. I can't wait to find about who is casted as Goku, it'll probably end up being Vin Diesel. I imagine this film will make Mortal Kombat Anhilation look like Citizen Kane.

Let us all pray if the movie comes to fruition, it spells the demise of the DB franchise forever.

And why isn't this on the front page of ANN? Even if it's not true, it's kinda funny in some sense.

A live-action HK Movie and Dragonball GT didn't kill it, I doubt this will. Confused

Last time I heard, Tom Welling (Clark from Pleasantville) was auditioning for the role.

LOL, so they're hiring an all white cast to play an all Asian cast. This will be the cheesiest movie ever made. And the Dragon Ball franchise is already dead. Noone gave a crap about GT when it was brought over on CN. The hype machine that gave them the idea for this film was done for anyways. They're beating a dead horse, except its more like what Tom Green did to that dead moose.

Ok, a few of them aren't Asian, Bulma, Lunch, etc. But even if Goku is a space alien, I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be asian. I guess he could not be, but it seems less logical. I admit you got me on that one, but this will still be the cheesiest movie ever.

I'd wait till I hear more about this new Real Bout High School movie, but whatever, they still will look pretty cheesey.

They're still planning on making this? I thought the project was dropped a while ago.

Also wasn't DBZ live action cancelled?

I also heard Hugh Jackman was up for Goku. I guess they liked him in the live-action Hellsing.
