First Pics of Chow Yun Fat as Dragonball's Master Roshi [Dragonball]
io9 — The live-action Dragonball movie is looking all set to be the alien-martial-arts guilty pleasure of 2009, judging from the cheese-tastic photos that have come out. So far, the only thing these characters have in common with their human counterparts is their wacky hair. Even the latest pictures ...

Dragonball Poster
The Movie Blog — Yet another great disaster of a movie on the horizon is Dragonball. A movie that like “Speed Racer” is dramatically over estimating the size of its existing fan base and is destined to be a box office flop. Anyway, a Japanese version of the Dragonball poster comes to us from the people over at Dragonballcn that looks pretty lame. If you want to see a larger version of the poster you can just go here. ...

Cinematical — Filed under: Action, 20th Century Fox, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, PostersWell, if you aren't used to seeing Justin Chatwin as the beloved hero Goku in the big- screen remake of Dragonball Z, then feast your eyes on the Japanese poster for the anime update (courtesy of DBthemovie.com). Once again, good old Goku and his Dragonball are front and center with no one else in sight -- would it have killed Fox to give fans a peek at some of the other characters? Dragonball is based on the classic manga about a warrior named ...

Japanese Dragonball Poster
Movie Poster Addict — Let me make a confession: I used to be a Dragonball fan. Really, really liked the show. And back on those old days I used to drool at the thought of a Dragonball movie. But the years have passed, my tastes have changed and boy is this looking like a bad idea now. Looking being the important word. The movie, from all I have seen, simple looks wrong. It seems like they are trying to be somewhat faithful to the comic/animation, but I think that particular look just doesn’t work when translated to film. They needed to change things quite radically. Many recent ...

It has been proven many times before that bad word of mouth has the power to cripple a flick. But Fox has been fighting back the naysayers and have debunked a rumor that has been gaining speed surrounding James Wong's live-action Dragonball. Rumors had surfaced over at Film Junk last week that the studio was about to pull the plug on their feature film version of the classic ...

Dragonball Character Poster And Stills
Cinema Blend News — A new character poster for the Dragonball movie has popped up online, along with a ton of still shots, which seem to be from a movie trailer. The trailer of course won’t be out until October, but we’re getting a pretty good look at what might be in it right now. Who needs motion anyway? Just give me a slideshow. I’ve dropped a few of the images below. The poster shows off Emmy Rossum, all leathered up as the character Bulma. The screenshots look like the beginning of a standard Dragonball fight scene where two guys stand around, pose, and throw fireballs at each other. For more click over to DBTheMovie ...

It's looking pretty thin if you ask me, although being caught in a Bulma/Mai sandwich wouldn't be altogether objectionable. And if that's not the zenith of film/marketing analysis, I don't know what is. Here's an embed of the teaser from dbthemovie.com: Dragonball Teaser from dbthemovie on Vimeo

Movie Moron — ... The only thing I do know is that every day when it was on, Goku would spend the episode charging up a big mystical attack and unleash it at his enemies, only to see it fail, before spending the next episode charging up an even bigger magical attack. Copy and paste for the entire series, until a random character makes the moon fall down on the villain and everybody walks away happy. Did anybody notice the characters look NOTHING like the anime?

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED TRAILER GETS DELAYED?!?!?!??!?!
Oh No They Didn't! — No Dragonball Trailer with Max Payne October 6th, 2008 Our friends at DB Legends talked with Fox about the status of the trailer and if a different one would be shown with Max Payne. As it turns out, the trailer that was leaked was not meant to be shown to the public, and they were working on a better one that was scheduled to be shown with Max Payne. But because the film’s special effects are still not done, it has been delayed until later this year. First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the ...

Dragonball Reshoots Make Us Hope For A Better Ball [Dragonball]
io9 — Did the overwhelmingly "meh" reaction to the leaked Dragonball trailer cause some panic among the movie's producers? Maybe so, because the movie is going back for some reshoots, and let's hope they fix the pasty-white Lord Piccolo and weak fight scenes along the way. Here's our list of suggestions for maximum DB improvement. First and foremost, green up Lord Piccolo. I don't care if you have to spend every single minute on the computer physically painting on CG greenness with your mouse, — fix it. Goku's hair — did we need it to be that much of a literal translation? I would have ...

You can watch the interview (in Spanish) here, or read a translation (thanks to Jonathan Martinez) below. Narrator: His latest project has entered a whole new realm of difficult creativity, It involves the diversion of the reality of the dragonball series. His ambition was to give the characters a “new look” than in the manga, while still keeping the spirit of it in tact. Jonay: This is one of those projects where the artist already has a reference to look off of; my job was not as big ...
