Nappa: Vegeta, how many times have they tried to greenlight this movie past pre-production?

Go on, I know you want to answer that question.

In all honesty I hope this comes through. It would probably be a horrible movie, but I'd love to see it.

It would be entertaining, and I'd say that's exactly what movies are meant to do.

The Japanese did a live action Dragonball Z type movie called Dragon Pearls....it had the worst CGI I had ever seen.

Love the description:

Quote:
It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys.
A change of heart??? Is that what they're calling amnesia now??

Ya know who they can get to play Vegeta??

This guy! ---> http://www.bellonock.com/indexdu.html

You dont know what a movie is. You said yourself you expect the movie to be abysmal, yet you now say such a collosal waste of money, time, actors, and resources would be "entertaining?" in some morbid laugh at Hollywood's expense?

Whenever you decide your posts want to make some semblence of cohearant SENSE, come back to this thread.

Look pumpkin, I know this might be hard for an elitist joker like yourself to imagine, but it is actually possible to enjoy 'bad' movies. It's Dragon Ball Z. It was never 'good' to begin with (Do you really want to argue about this?). Of-f*cking-course a movie adaption is going to be 'bad', but that doesn't mean it won't be fun, just like the series.

I know exactly what a movie is, buddy. It's you that seems to have forgotten.

Like Underdog, Inspector Gadget......

Funimation.... if you WANT to make DBZ movies, just release the damn ones you already had into more than 3 theaters nationwide. I'm sure that it would make more money and not just waste a crap load of cash to produce.

And make a new dub of "Curse of the Blood Rubies" while you're at it. Release it as a Double bill with one of the One Piece films.

You know it had to be done.

Really, How many times has this happened. Five? Ten? Even more? As a kid I would have loved to see a live-action DBZ movie. Now, after so many failed attempts...who cares? We've had some glorious animated movies from the franchise. Why aren't we happy with that? Then again, that's a stupid question. This is Hollywood we are talking about, after all...

But that being said...if it's made, I'll probably go and see it. I've been waiting for this movie for years, so I guess it will satisfy the child within me that never got to see the movie she wanted.

Dragon Ball Z movie

To be directed by James Wong, and produced by Stephen Chow. I'm sure most of you have heard the news, and I was kinda surprised there was'nt a thread on it yet. Justin Chatwin(War of the Worlds) is playing Goku, and James Masters( Buggy the Vampire Slayer) will be playing Piccolo. Also, 85% will be shot in Mexico. I dont have a direct link to anything, but if you feel like checking up on it, just go look at the shh boards. Plenty of people discussing it on there.

I have'nt been that into Dragon Ball Z since I was a kid. And personally, I really only enjoyed the characters, and hated the pacing. But I'm anxious to see this, as I envision it being either the next "transformers" or a complete(although hilarious) disaster.

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

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Scoop...ails-6987.html

Quote:
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...

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"
