DragonBall: The Live Action Movie

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-my-god dept.

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...

    This has been modded a Troll? It's hilarious! I've spluttered coffee all over the place. Christ, if you don't like a gag, ignore it. Don't mod the poor postee down for it!
