Anyone else hear that Goku & Piccolo were casted for the Dragonball film?

Justin Chatwin from "The Invisible" is gonna be Goku.
James Marsters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is going to be Piccolo.

I'm kind of excited.

More reasons this movie is potentially fail...

[szwrld]

[XenoBlade]

Not saying that guy isn't a good actor, but I don't see him as Piccolo.

I'm posting that link so other people can check it out.

Honestly, live-action cartoon movies tend to be pretty bad and with the over-the-top special effects it'd take for Dragonball Z, it doesn't matter what actors they get. It won't be pretty. And I'm not seeing Spike as Piccolo. I need a badly photoshopped image of him to change my mind.

That being said, I'm still going to see it.

I hate DBZ, but speaking as someone who rented the Taiwanese travesty, I'll probably at least give it a glance when it comes out on DVD. Though if they don't cast Bruce Campbell as Hercule/Mr. Satan, it's epic fail all around.

Hey, if I could get through Hyper Dolls and half of Kekko Kamen, I can get through DBZ.

I'm trying my hardest to picture a bald green Spike with pointy ears but I can't.

Well, I don't even think Hercule is going to be in it. I'd assume they'll be doing early Dragonball stuff to develop the characters so they can make sequels. Hooray! (That was sarcasm by the way. I know it doesn't work on the internet.) Anybody hear which storyline they're going by?

Honestly, DBZ is a guilty pleasure for me. Especially the Cell Saga. I didn't care for much after that though.

According to the article on Fark, they're going to do Dragonball. I might go see it in the theater then, because the early Dragonball saga was actually not bad. Especially if they keep the "Oh, that's so NOT Bulma's belly button" scene.

I also read about it. It does seem to be Dragonball since Piccolo is casted and Goku and I know they said Dragonball. So hopefully this is the King Piccolo Saga, cause that was an amazing Saga and my fav in the Dragonball Series. So I would not mind watching that. Dragonball is more fighting and less flying around like DBZ is and it would probably be less Special Effects so it might turn out to be a good movie.

[szwrld]

I have faith in casting. Half the time I can't see a certain person in a role, but they turn out to do an amazing job.

I think they're going with the King Piccolo saga. I know that Piccolo is the enemy so I believe that's the one they're going with.

[Sig]

I'll always be a Dragon Ball/Z/GT fan. I was so happy to see one girl dress up as a Saiyin in the last con. For this movie I need to see the end product first. I'm actually excited. Very excited. More so than Evangelion although I think that would be a better movie.

I was also thinking about Hard Gay. I want Hard Gay to be one of the characters. Maybe master roshi or some strange character that just hangs out with the people that watch the fight. Hooooooo!

[GeneralNacho]

How did you ever come to Hard Gay? That's an interesting choice to be in DB.

So, I've heard that Stephen Chow may be attached to this movie and if he is, I have no reason not to go when it's in the theater. I absolutely love Stephen Chow. That also means it'll probably be funny too, because I can't think of any serious movies he's done. (Although if he decides to go serious all of a sudden, that probably means it'll be pretty crappy. Going off of the pattern of people who make genre switches anyways.)

And apparently the X-Files guy, James Wong, is directing this.

I have to say, if all this is true. This is an odd staff they've picked out. (Not as odd as the rumors I'd heard about Robin Williams wanting to be in Evangelion, but still...)

Robin Williams is apparently a hardcore Eva fan. (He's also a hardcore gamer...can you imagine being in a game run by this guy, with his range of voices? WOW.) He snuck Eva models into "1-Hour Photo," though apparently the script writers got it wrong (some kid holds up a toy of one of the mass-produced Evas and says "it's one of the good guys"--well, yeah, if you really hate Asuka). He's proved he can play straight, non-humorous characters, and he would make a good Fuyutsuki.

Not Gendo, though...that part is reserved for a true badass, like Hugo Weaving or Al Pacino.

The more I hear about this Dragonball movie, though, the more I might actually go see it.

Now who's going to be Bulma?

No wonder Goku goes nuts over her. YOWZA!

I jst found out about this with one of my friends from Anime Club

[Ashori]

I'm actually a little afraid of how this is going to turn out. I'm not a major fan of DB/Z/GT as I was when I was younger, but I'm still a fan all the same, and somehow or another, I think this might actually ruin the series.

But this is just my opinion. I'll watch it with an open mind, but I'm still a bit apprehensive about how this is going to do.

i don't believe any one can truly be piccolo...but if i had say if he would be good or not...i'd say yeah...i mean he played a half evil half good guy for years...did again on smallville...and again on torchwood...it's the kind of actor he is

[Bold&Delicious]

I CAN'T effing believe that Chow Yun-Fat is master roshi. It's like W-HAT. Can you imagine a pervy Chow Yun-Fat?

[XenoBlade]

The African guy from Blood Diamond=PERFECT Piccolo(Djiouman Honsu Or something.) Also he'll be a perfect Kratos if a God of War movie is made.

[Animexcel]

Ernie Hudson aka Winston from Ghostbusters is in this movie! No word on who he'll play but it will be interesting xD
The movie's release has been pushed back to April 2009, I knew they weren't gonna have it gone before August.

[Fairy Godmoose]

Hrm...I can't really see Emmy Rossum as Bulma...but I've only seen her in Phantom of the Opera, so I guess I'm a little prejudiced. I am, however, looking forward to seeing Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi.

[Goddess Astra]

any update on the film

[XenoBlade]

This movie is gonna suck...no matter how far they push it back. Already has a crappy cast. Chowyun-fat is awesome, but not as master Roshi.

There was no need for this movie. None.

[Kristyn]

I am actually looking forward to this movie. I hope that it is a good movie but I really have no idea if it will be or not.

I am really excited that James Marsters is going to be Piccolo. I watched an interview with him on Youtube and the way he is talking about his character I think he is going to do a really good job. Don't know about the other actors but I think James Marsters will at least give a good performance.
