Casting calls are now going out for some more characters. Mainly ChiChi and somebody named Agundes.

CHI CHI - Asian, 20. Goku’s lifelong love interest, Chi Chi is an attractive, tom boy-ish young woman who has grown up with Goku. She has studied martial arts and has always suspected that Goku possesses talents that are unusual and extraordinary. After Goku embarks on his journey to redeem his grandfather’s death, Chi Chi meets up with Goku and his crew at a tournament of champions where their mutual attraction finally heats up during a training session.

AGUNDES - Latino, he is a large and hulking gargantuan, over 6 feet tall. Late teens-early 20s to play senior in high school, Carey Fuller's sidekick, a big football player and a bigger bully; must be athletic - has a fight scene...2 scenes.

Oh goody.. a world martial arts tournament....

They're only staying true to the material...one of the only examples of them really doing that so far...

The part that bugs me, is romance found during a training session...cmon...

*ZariusTwo* · 11-22-2007, 05:02 PM

I think it fits, Chi-Chi is maintained as a childhood sweetheart, it's just Goku wont be thinking sex is a food like he thought a marraige was a "food"

*Drtooth* · 11-23-2007, 01:18 PM

Hey, as long as we can get as far away from High School Dragon Ball as possible, I won't complain.

Besides, wasn't a good third of DB tournaments?

Ra · 11-23-2007, 07:33 PM

Yeah, it was. I honestly don't mind what it's about, as long as the cast can bring the (hopefully good) script to life while maintaining the feeling of the show/manga/fandom/whatever-the-hell-you-want.

~~AquaParade~~ · 12-03-2007, 04:12 PM

Does anyone think that a Dragon Ball Z movie, could possibly reignite the franchise itself? I mean nothing has really been done with it, since the History of trunks and Bardock movie's(which I thought were two of the best dbz movies ever) But, if the movie is successful, I'm guessing someone out there is gonna wanna make money off the franchise...Anyone who had their head in the know about this stuff...what do you think?

No! It could possibly kill what little of it we have left. I mean, if we had new action figures or T-Shirts of the characters as they look in animated form, I'd be happy... but that's about it. Too Bad. I really want Funimation to release classic Dragon Ball in Sesaon Sets like they did with DBZ...

~~AquaParade~~ · 12-03-2007, 04:27 PM

I can't see it happening, but woulndt it make a little sense for a company to try and pick this property up and make some kind of new cartoon?

*gobo* · 12-03-2007, 05:00 PM

An American sequel to a Japanese cartoon series, I somehow doubt seriously. But, maybe an animated continuation of the movie, like they did with Street Fighter... And, consider how god-forsaken that movie turned out.

Crazier things have happened. All I'm saying is, I dont see how there would not be a good chance of a company wanting to do something more with this property such as more dtv's or another tv show, if it becomes really popular again. Money is money to the suits, they dont care how strange the ways they make it in are...just look at "My little Pony"

.

*Spitfire* · 12-03-2007, 08:25 PM

This is going to be the worst movie that is going to come out that year. It will be so bad I hope the critics rip it apart and use it as an example of how not to make a movie.

I also hope the studio spends tons of cash on it and it bombs so they won't get anymore stupid ideas like this.

**Barkworm** · 12-04-2007, 03:05 AM

Isn't Stephen Chow involved in this? If he directed it, it would be GOLD.

*Spitfire* · 12-04-2007, 03:55 AM

James Wong

Director:

* In Production
* 2000s
* 1990s

1. Dragonball (200 (pre-production)

2. Final Destination 3 (2006)
... aka Final Destination 3 (Germany)
3. The One (2001)
... aka Jet Li's The One (UK)
4. Final Destination (2000)

5. "The X Files" (1 episode, 1996)
... aka The X-Files (USA)
- Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man (1996) TV Episode

Jet Li made "The One" watchable that was it.

This guy IS a great writer though, "Millennium" episodes he did were great, and he IS writing this one. That gives it a bit more of a chance.

DBZ is one of the most overexposed franchises ever, I'd rather this movie bombs and finally rids us of it for a while. If there never going to capatalise on expanding the series, then they dont need to take up the time of more reliable and superior franchises that could be allocated in it's place.

Yeah... no one has ever done that before.... oh wait...except for...

*gobo* · 12-06-2007, 12:36 AM

That was Korean. Also, it failed to be as popular as its immigrant-parent series. I'd imagine that was due to poor exposure (though that's a wild guess).

Anyhow, regarding my previous statements, the Street Fighter cartoon series (the American one, not Japan's Street Fighter II V, which was even better IMO) was what got me interested in the (Van Damn) movie. But, I don't ever plan on watching that film ever again. It's pretty lofty hopes to imagine a similar kick-ass 'toon follow-up to what will almost certainly be a travesty... But, miracles have been known to happen.

All American cartoons are animated in Korea. Every toon I've watched was, they always talk about it in the special features.

*gobo* · 12-06-2007, 04:53 PM

I don't doubt that some Disney 'toons (movies and series) were animated overseas. But, I can't imagine they use Korea much, if at all. Anyone know? And, was Winx Club (Italian franchise) animated in Korea too? If so they should probably be ashamed of themselves for how flip-bookish those earliest eps/seasons turned out. Sorry, Michi.
