Ak! I really do hope this movie kicks ass so that all the nay-sayers can quit bitching.
I also wouldn't care if any main-steam action/epic monguls got involved with the production (Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski, Ridley Scott, Micheal Bay etc) accompanied by a kick-ass musical score from the guys at former Media Ventures (Hans Zimmer, Nick Glennie-Smith, Harry Gregson-Williams, etc). This is just my opinion of course. But from working in the industry, Hollywood today is full of positive surprises. Let's just see what happens, then we'll go from there. Kamehameha! /j |

So, why did you allow it to be posted? For shits and giggles?
I seriously hope Bay gets it and bastardizes it like he did with Transformers and piss-off the DB fanboys. It's perfect for him!! Explosions.....easily exploitable franchise....Summer Blockbuster Material.....Perfect for him!! |

That struck me as worse than live action DBZ, I'd see DBZ for the cheese factor alone. I'm just surprised it's actually getting made.
If that happens, I'm building a bomb shelter in my basement. |

I don't "allow" the news to be posted. We have a news editor, it's at his discretion. There's no absolutely solid reason to disbelieve it, either; I'm basing my comments on what I've seen at the myriad film industry websites I visit. The Montreal Times isn't inherently a bad source, it's just incredibly odd that this news isn't being repeated anywhere else. Unless you're a complete film news junkie like me there's no reason to think it's bogus. It's just my opinion, anyway. |

Poor discretion to say the least. I'll stop there. Moving on to make more than the require 3 sentences per post: So if Hollywood does make the movie, I know already it's gonna fail royally. To even make a decent DBZ movie, it has to be spread out like thus: * They get stranded on Namek and talk about power levels for an hour. * Fighting goes for another hour. * Powering up will take 2 hours, more talking for an hour. * And the battle ends in one minute, roll credits. And how will they properly capture the hair? All the hair gel on earth can't make one Goku hairstyle!! |

It's far more likely that I'm wrong and this news will start making its way around the usual film press shortly. |

I, personally, love Michael Bay's style. I really don't think any of the DB fans would be at all mad if he got involved. I mean, you said it yourself, "big explosions!" That's really all what DBZ was, and it's one of the many reasons why people loved it. I'm excited for this. So yeah, Christian Bale as Goku? Hehe. /j |

I know you're trying to be funny and all, but as long those things are more limited, wouldn't that make a decent DBZ movie? Of course if you're being sarcastic, then I don't see where you're going with that, other than "DBZ sucks because..." |

Oh, look at this everyone, Fox informed IGN this regarding the DBZ movie:
This is from: http://movies.ign.com/articles/817/817539p1.html So this suggests that Fox still has the rights to DBZ but are currently sitting on the rights. |

They're probably doing location-scouting.

At least so far, that's just boilerplate. They're not saying any of the other reports are *wrong*, they just won't confirm that anybody is *right.* Having said that, it is also true that *some* (not all) of us at ANN give more credence to stories that appear in the mainstream press. To some degree, if they screw up, it's their fault, and not necessarily ours. |

Well, first of all, it is DBZ, so a lot of fans will flock to see it out of curiousity. They want to know how much it would suck, or if it's going to be a success. Basically... We're going to have to see the trailer first. Wasn't there a movie that you seen a preview of, went to see it, and then found out it was absolutely horrible? Or was as good as you expected or better? Or just...Ah, Ok, not great? It'll be a success for raiding people into the theater, that can be for certain. It's all up to the individual to decide what they want to do. I can't particularity comment on it, though. I watch what I want, whether or not people recommend it.
xD haha, best quote ever. Sorry, I just wanted to point that out. >.>;
o_o hmm? Was Transformers that bad to you, though? I liked it.... >.>; I just have to comment that Hollywood movies aren't always with the best story lines, and I'm not going to expect an Academy-Award winning DBZ live action film. I just want to go watch it, and make a decision to see if I really liked it or not. Of course, I will probably nitpick what I like from what I didn't like, but that's normal. I'm not going to bash anyone who enjoyed the movie and I didn't, or vice versa. For now, since nothing is in the works, I can't really comment too much on FOX's production ideas. The budget seems pretty high, so they will take the movie seriously, the only thing that really concerns me is what they're going to use as the plot storyline, and how they can determine what characters they want to film, if they're going to mix Arc characters together, etc. So before I'm going to scream out "IT'S GONNA SUCK ASS" before I haven't heard a damn thing...I'll wait. So far, I'm just enjoying the senseless bickering. |

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.
