Dragonball: Evolution
Directed by James Wong (Final Destination) Produced by Steven Chow (Shaolin Soccer) Stunt team did 300 and The Matrix among other things. Current Cast/Characters: Chow Yun-Fat - Master Roshi Emmy Rossun - Bulma Jamie Chung - Chi Chi Justin Chatwin - Goku James Marsters - 'Demon King' Piccolo There's alot of reasons this may be a disaster; but there's some pretty credible names up there. I'll be watching this project with great interest. Last edited by Kalyx triaD; 02-06-2009 at 01:13 AM. Reason: Title change |

This movie is even later in coming out than The Simpsons Movie.
But it looks like they're kinda basing it off of Dragonball instead of Dragonball Z, which is definitely a step in the right direction since regular Dragonball was much better. In my opinion. |

They should use elements from all three incarnations. I'd love to see a live action Broly battle.

Great casting. |

This can only be really bad or really good, I honestly don't think there's any middle ground
Whatever happens, though, I know I'm going to actually be watching this in the theaters. |

Yeah, it's Dragonball. ...Not Z. Thank God. The plot involves Goku and Bulma getting the Dragonballs before Piccolo does.
And most of those years in "development Hell" were heresay and rumor propagated by internet fandom, and not any actual period in which a real movie was being worked on. |

Furthermore, Eriko Tamura is being cast as Mai, meaning there may or may not be Pilaf action.

All the Dragonball cartoons were complete trash. An American live action movie based on it has to be the biggest pile of fail ever.

If anyone can produce a Dragon Ball movie that is actually good, it would be Stephen Chow. He's just got the right attitude and skill for such a project. I'm not too big on some of the casting, though, but we'll see how it goes.
Robin Shou would actually make a damn good Goku. He's got the martial arts skill, and I think he would play the role well. |

Emmy Rossun seems right for Bulma, as does Jamie Chung for Chi Chi. With some make-up, Chow Yun-Fat would actually be a brilliant Master Roshi. I don't know enough about Justin Chatwin, but hopefully he does well with it. James Marsters is an odd choice for Piccolo, but hopefully he is a surprise.

Dunno about James Marsters being Piccalo. I can't wait to see him on the big screen (and I will go just to see him ftr) but it's and odd casting choice.

That pic makes me sure of it.
They should have made it purposely cartoony, like the upcoming speed racer flick. WOuld have been able to follow the plot, and character design more closely, rather than take this pseudo-realistic route, which will undoubtedly fail miserably. |

That pic IS awfully cartoony, what are you talking about? The only other cartoony thing they coulda done was try to give him the ridiculously sized anime-hair.
