Twentieth Century Fox has approved production of its planned live action American Dragonball movie. Final Destination writer & director James Wong will direct the picture with Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) producing. Justin Chatwin (who played Tom Cruise's disaffected teenage son in War of the Worlds) will star as Son Goku while James Marsters (Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) will portray the villain Piccolo (father of the Dragon Ball Z character also named Piccolo). The live action adaptation of Akira Toriyama's best selling adventure manga is tentatively scheduled for theatrical release on August 15th, 2008.
Life is but a dream.....So what happens when you wake up?
Part of me wants to see it and part of me doesn't. And if it is cheesy then I guess I'll get some good laughs.
I love to wear absurd and totally impractical garments. What's more, I derive great pleasure from spending time with women for no apparent reason. I'm just that kind of person. - Sousuke Sagara
i for one can't wait to see this picture. I mean here's a movie that by it;s very concept is going to be monumentally bad. Based on that, we havea good chance that it's going to be SOOO bad that by the theory of relativity it;ll start coming around the other side as "UN-bad"
Even though we all shudder at the thought, you know that you will see the movie one way or another just to fulfill that small desire we all share. Albeit, there are so many ways this can and most likely will go wrong.
Hopefully it won't take itself too seriously, in which case you can watch it with a large, irreverent theatre crowd and engage in callbacks. I hear it worked for <i>Snakes on a Plane</i>.
