DragonBall: The Live Action Movie
mystyc writes "scifi wire has a disturbing piece on how Twentieth Century Fox acguired the movie rights to the Dragon Ball franchise. What is disturbing is that they plan to do a live action dragon ball movie! You'd think hollywood would have learned their lessons from such notable live action anime failures as The Guyver, Fist of the North Star, and others who's names must not be spoken. Then again, hollywood doesn't work that way."
Who'd have thought that there would have been enough interest in the Motorola CPU that powers the Palm family to make a movie of it? Tron was pretty popular I guess...
More like DragonBall ZZZzzzzz.
A winner is you!
A movie is barely long enough for one DBZ fight!!!
Are the actors going to be asian?
I'd hate to see an americanized version
by square jawed blonde gi-joe look alikes.
Anybody play Street Fighter then watch
the movie? The american always gets the
star role.
I'm going to go invest in a hair gel company's stock now...
I've heard that Richard Dean Anderson is being tipped to play the part of an older Goku, with a possible role for Leonardo Di Caprio..looks like Hollywood are pulling out all the stops on this one.
Casting director must be an addicted fan and able to recite each charactors relationship to each other charactor. He/she must be given photographs of all avalable actors, not just super expensive ones that only resemble their part less than 20%.
Screenwriter must be in the same room as the director of the animated version at least 50% of the time during production, the animated version director must be given a small bat with which to hit the screenwriter when in disagreement.
The writer of the movie plot must be able to fit it within the animated timeline up till now. introducing charactors for the first time is fine, but no bringing back the dead and killing them in different ways.
Special effects must be limited to the function of adding to the film, not becomming the entire focus of having 40% of the shots (like in Star Wars 1)
) Human Kind Vs Human Creation
) It'd be interesting to see how many humans would survive to serve us.
There are only a couple problems with this.
Anime girls are far better ^_^
Panty shots are just not the same with actors.
Ever notice how real tits don't 'bounce' right after you have spent most of your life watching anime?
How are they going to deal with tentacle monsters?

I didn't realize Jean Claude Van Damme was American...the accent always through me off.
Can I get an eye poke?

what I remember best about mortal kombat: the Utah Saints soundtrack.. I can just imagine the discussion:
Moviemakers: write us a song.. a soundtrack for Mortal kombat
Utah Saints: OK.. *makes generic utah saints bleep-bleep music*
Moviemakers: WTF does this have to do with Mortal kombat?!?!?
Utah saints: hmm.. you're right.. know what? we'll just yell "Mortal Kombat" a couple of times.
Moviemakers: ok, that'll do..

...a movie about a CPU? Or is this the new name for the remake of Tron?
I think you mean: "For the love of KAMI!!!"
"I have a bad feeling about this".

I'm positive my boyfriend will make me sit through this one. And I already have trouble watching an episode without making cynical comments every 30 seconds on the probability of the story.
Thank God 20th Century Fox didn't ACQUIRE the rights to the movie...
Well, there's Charlie Sheen when he's drunk. But I really don't think that's what they're looking for.
Brazil has decided you're cute.
it's called the WWF
Just FYI, I stopped reading this when she said 'nuf said.' because I assumed she meant it.
