Who's the chick?

How can you have any kind of faith in this, after those pics? Come on.

Emmy Rossum :drool:

Think he meant who does she play. Cause I sure as fuck dont remember anyone fitting that description in the anime.

Emmy is Bulma... that can't be right...

The key word is faith.

I would hope they can actually get to the point of making a Frieza and Cell saga, this is for DBZ of course..

Not sure what to go on off those pictures though... Guns? Plus he should have bigger hair. Yeah. Hes not Goku without bigger hair.

lol, Dragonball and Dragonball Z are the same thing to Hollywood. You're going to watch DBZ. *nods*

I saw that a couple days ago and I still don't know what to say :o

Blind faith, maybe.

I too saw that the other day and it reaffirmed my suspicion that this movie is going to suck something fierce.

I wonder if he will have a tail?

Gay needs more Vegeta and Frieza

Fuck no, it doesn't.

Compressing the piccolo, vegeta, and frieza saga into one movie would make it a clusterfuck that would put Mortal Kombat Annihilation, to shame.

Besides, they're gonna make a ton of money off this, whether it's good or not, so they'll prolly want to save the others for inevitable sequels.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprized to see a scene after the credits involving vegeta, or raditz.

Not I mean cut out the Dragonball saga and jump to the Frieza saga

The Dragonball saga was the best part though.

I prefer DragonballZ to Dragonball.

Dragonball >>> Dragonball Z

Little more detail of the characters:

Roshi doesn't even have glasses....or look old. this will suck balls.

The ladies may save it

He does look old and who cares about glasses. Yamcha looks overly badass, though.

Still have medium to high hopes.

I still want to know if he will have a tail. if not this film can fuck off and die.

I'm gonna say no.

Cause monkey-men martial artist is... stupid.

Fuck you:foc: you clearly have no clue.

Are you fucking serious here, or what?

Master Roshi was my favourite character from the show. Piccolo was not far behind. I'm still not too keen on the casting, but I think the actors are both talented enough to make the characters work. Chow Yun-Fat will be a happy-go-lucky porn-loving old man, then become a lethal weapon. It doesn't bother me that he doesn't wear glasses or is skinny and bulks up only for the Kamehameha. Turtle must remain, though. Turtle provided a good mystical element to the Roshi character that could easily be done in the movie, and done well.

Joon Park looks fantastic at Yamcha. He looks incredibly bad-ass. Can definitely see the Bulma character wanting a piece of that, which will work in the movie's favour.

Man, are we going to get some Tien and Chiaotzu in this, somewhere? It might be getting it a bit cluttered, though.

I'm not anal about modifying characters appearances for movies. But they should at least get the most iconic aspect of a character's appearance in.

Roshi without shades is like Wolverine without claws.

Maybe he will bust out the shades for a Jackie Chun appearance? Even though Chun was Roshi with a wig and without the glasses. I think we'll see them at some point.

Zamboni

Considering that's what the whole fucking show is about, I think it's kind of hard to avoid it.

No, its as easy as not writing it in the script.

Do you know anything about adapting source material to different mediums? Take a look at Mortal Kombat Annihilation and see what sticking too close to source material means. Then look at the first movie and see what reasonable adapting gets you.

Funny how Mortal Kombat's movie series offer both extremes.

Basically you can't take everything into account with turning something into a film, especially anime, double-especially DBZ.

Like I said previously. I don't care about adapting every little thing. But the tail is a pretty major factor in not only Goku's appearance, but the actual plot. Especially considering this is a Dragonaball adaptation, not DBZ, despite the name. Annihilation got the costumes right, and thats it. As low budget as it looked, it could have been a lot better if it would have actually stuck to the plot of the game. And if Shao Kahn wasn't such a whiny douche.

Furthermore, 99% of the concepts in DBZ are stupidly ridiculous. If you want the adaptation to be even a little bit close to the source, you are going to have to put wacky stuff in there.

Seriously, there is a line between being too close to the source, and not close enough. What you're suggesting would change it from being any sort of adaptation outside of using the same names as the characters.

You talk about Mortal Kombat Annihilation being too close. How about Super Mario Bros. for being too far. ANyone else remeber fighting Dennis Hopper in Mario Bros. 3? Really? No one?

Maybe they should cast Woody Allen as Piccolo, and paint him pink instead of green, so as not to stray too close to the source material.

If there was good enough reason for that then go for it.

I just want to enjoy myself when watching the movie. If I want the anime, they're on sale in remastered DVDs.

By the time Goku fights King Piccolo in the anime/manga Goku's tail is missing anyway, so not as important during that arc. I have a feeling that the movie will start from that point with no more than 5 minutes of explanation of Goku's past :-\
