Yeah what saga is this movie going to be set in? I would love to see a live action freeza

They said its gonna be set during the Dragon Ball saga. Its still gonna be the best movie ever regardless of the saga.

I can see them turning this one into a trilogy easily. First movie: random BS filler with a couple insignigant fights, introducing the villian late in the movie. Number two: fighters train for battle. more insignifigant fights, Goku dies, dragon balls get collected. Movie three: Goku is revived, but the others must stall the villian until he arrives to charge his ki for about an hour and use the spirit bomb to kill the villian, more stupid filler, new villian arrives. All three movies would have to be at least three hours or more.

Really makes me wonder how I was ever a diehard DBZ fan when I look back at the flow of the show.

I think more likely, all three movies cover a single fight. And not even a significant one like Goku vs. Piccolo. It's going to be six hours of Yamcha vs. Emperor Pilaf or something.

The sad thing about this post is that as much as it's an attack against the failings of Dragonball (or more specifically, DBZ)....it also shows that I know way more about the series than I wish I could say I do.

This movie seriously has potential to be the funniest movie ever created.

How unintentionally funny it could be will probably be the only redeeming value of the movie

lmao why would they have to be asian

By the way revolution, it's common for actors to train for their role in any given movie. People aren't hired for BEING JACKED dude. do you seriously think every musclebound guy in a movie has looked like that his entire life? also none of the characters look asian at all besides like krillin, and having extensive training in martial arts won't help anyone fire a kamehameha. ugh wait why did I respond to that post

Anyway, I'll probably see this regardless. this'll probably be pretty big when it finally comes around, and unlike transformers or other recent live-action films, almost no one expects this shit to be good

Well it originated from Japan and the chars resemble Japanese people, don't they? I mean... I'd think that it would be a better fit...

And yes I know about the training and stuff but still... why not already get somebody who's built already and at the same time is a better fit (both physically and I guess talent wise in terms of acting... Those actors in that link are talented guys but I know there are tons of better candidates out there)... I dunno but I tend to disagree on that 'none of the characters look asian at all besides krillin', in fact I think they all do (besides anyone with coloured hair.. that's the way I view anime characters anyway...

Plus having that martial arts background will help for better tailoured scenes, more realistic fight scenes with obvious additions of firing beams and stuff...

But at this point in time and from what I've seen from the chosen actors, I'm sorry but I just can't take this film seriously and I still think its one big joke... If its true, I'll probably end up watching it anyway just to see how potentially lame it can be and that when I was a kid, I watched DBZ so...... MUST RELIVE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES IN A JESTERLY FASHION!

Goku wasmt super buff in DB though (yes DB this movie doesn't technically take place in Dragonball Z but in Dragon ball when Piccolo first arrives).

Yay! Random words!

I can see myself paying money to see a live action dragonball movie

EDIT:

cast not casted

Seconded. I've hardly watched the show before, but just from what I've seen I know a live action version will be...fantastic...

If they actually somehow make it good I'll be in utter awe. And not just good in the "my god that was money well spent that movie was awesomely crap".

I only vaguely remember Dragon Ball, since I was pretty young when I watched it and saw way less of it than I did DBZ, but wasn't it way, way, way less filler?

Oh, right, now I understand that SnakesOnAPlane comparison, yes yes. I agree.

Maybe not super buff, but super ripped. Besides Goku was like 99% of the time a little kid in original DB.

I agree that these guys don't need to be asian, since Goku, Piccolo, etc. are mostly from space anyways. But martial arts training is very important for anywhere close fluent fighting. Yes, it's possible to train for these roles, but it won't come off naturally without some real history with the art. Good example is Matrix, with Neo's uber kung-fu skills... ... ...

Following the discription of the saiyans, I say they look more like german/caveman then asians. So yes I agree with the fact that asians shouldn't play them.

This movie directed by Stephen Chow sounds like it could be sick as hell but all it needs now is Morgan Freeman playing the role of Vegeta.

FUCK YES! The rumor started up a month or two ago but I put no stock into them! Here's hoping they do a good job. I really bet it will suck hard, but I won't complain if they surprise me. Here's a forum dedicated to the news on it for those of you who ~~don't~~ care (I'm the only one who does right?)

http://z9.invisionfree.com/liveactionanime/index.php?showtopic=130

A month or two ago? Try ten years, dude.

If it's gonna be in the DB saga as opposed to Z, it might actually be a good movie period. Plain DB was actually a pretty good series... It's later that it became retarded.

Yeah, come to think of it, DB really wasn't too bad was it?

I hadn't really thought about DB at all in quite some time but now that I try to remember how it went, there was some good stuff there. It's definitely not BEST SHOW EVER, but it's not the shit that DBZ is.
