Another Image from Dragonball’s Mexican Set

By Nix | March 25, 2008 (8:57 am) | More: Dragonball (2009) Movie

Okay, so I’ll be frank with you: I really have no idea what Dragonball is, was supposed to be, etc. All I know is that my nephews are crazy about this thing, but I could never get past the big hair and crazy, blurring backgrounds. In any case, here’s the latest image from the set of the movie, currently shooting in Mexico with, apparently from the comments in the other Dragonball posts, a cast that no one really likes, and some are even planning on boycotting! And nope, I have no idea what this image shows, but it seems to be some kind of pit with bubbling green goo. Or something.

A young boy named Goku seeks out upon his grandfather’s dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls (of which he has one) in order to prevent Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world.

James Wong directs. “Dragonball” is slated for an April 3 2009 release.

looks to me like it’s a landing site of a space pod and the green goo I think is just green screen

I’m sad to hear people bad-mouthing this project. DBZ fans have been waiting for years for the live action movie to come out. It’s so hyped up in all of our minds, that nothing can live up to our expectations, so why not stop complaining about it, sit back, and enjoy the ride?

creonis on July 9, 2008

those guys who keeps on complaining… MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIE!!!!!

I totally agree Monkery.
To some people, it will not be a good DBZ movie, but it will be a GOOD movie.
That is what is important to them, they are trying to expand the fan base for DBZ, maybe for later projects…..?

 
Bruser on April 8, 2008

Why on Earth would anyone who has knowledge of what Dragonball is NOT bad mouth this movie?
Some people just have to defend every crime Hollywood exacts against human culture.

You are obviously on the wrong page.
All I read everywhere else is bad mouthing, the true fans will want to see it.
They will scrimp and save every penny they can find to go.
Because if they didn’t, all that would happen would be regrets.
so what if it is not like the show with the spikes.
Have you seen people cos-play the show?
It is basically that crap, DOES NOT LOOK GOOD!
But, if the ki blast are not included, then I will be pissed.

 
Wobbles on April 9, 2008

Another shot of how cheap the movie’s going to be, I see.

Makes me wonder why would anyone think that the criticism against this movie is just ‘bad mouthing’. In my opinion, true Dragonball fans would boycott this movie, just like the Japanese are doing.

The guy who is writing this rubbish is a joke. Yes nix im talking to you. So what if you havent heard anything about this film you dont need to express your opinion when you have seen just 1 hour of the actual cartoon franchse. Oh by the way good analysis on the picture above, ‘green goo, or something’. Yeah well done there are you about 10? I could do a better job than you. People who bad mouth this flm are really wasting there time as true fans will go and see this film no matter what. Your a joke and you really need to sort this website out. Even when i type it misses out letters and hve to redo them.

Thank you Gareth.
Finally, an ACTUAL fan of the series.

Ezo on July 2, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

This is what you get when non fan attempt to create something. The characters are totally off. By the looks of things they are going to be changing the story. Whether this thing has great special effects means nothing, if were are not going to have characters or a storyline similar to the originals this is not Dragon Ball Z. So far it does not look like dragon ball z. They should give it another name, and present it as a stand alone. Call it Dragon Ball kid. SHIT don’t taint the image of our beloved show!!

@GarethDvaies,

The guy who is writing this rubbish is a joke. Yes nix im talking to you.

Thanks, people rarely talk to me. Are we friends now?

So what if you havent heard anything about this film you dont need to express your opinion when you have seen just 1 hour of the actual cartoon franchse.

What if I’ve seen 2 hours of it? Can I express my opinion then? No? Gosh, then I guess I shouldn’t express my opinion about every movie trailer EVER that I’ve seen, seeing as how I’ve only seen a minute, or in some cases, only 30 seconds of them. Then again, I’m sure YOU don’t go around expressing your opinions on movie trailers you’ve only seen for 1 minute, right?

Oh by the way good analysis on the picture above, ‘green goo, or something’. Yeah well done there are you about 10?

It’s called a “joke”. You know, haha? Oh well, some people get it, and others just whine about it.

I could do a better job than you.

So why are you on MY site badmouthing me, and not the other way around? Oh right, you can’t.

People who bad mouth this flm are really wasting there time as true fans will go and see this film no matter what.

So you’re saying “true fans” are idiots? Hey, I’m not saying it, this guy is! He seems to think the definition of “true fan” means you’ll swallow any garbage anyone shovels your way. (Mind you, I’m not saying this movie will be “garbage”. I’m just making a point here.)

Your a joke and you really need to sort this website out. Even when i type it misses out letters and hve to redo them.

Okay, I’m going to pretend you used “you are” (or even “you’re”) instead of “your”, which would automatically discount your opinion. But hey, I’m a nice guy, and instead of mocking you for your nearly incomprehensible rant, I’m going to instead invite you to come over and help me “sort” this website out. That is, if you’re not too busy calling me names on MY site, which you’re USING. Hunh. I just noticed. You sure are getting a lot of use out of my “joke” site, Gareth.

But I ain’t hatin’. Enjoy. And tell your friends, won’t you?

Nice Nix!
Got to give you mad props, lol.

Darth Acer on April 18, 2008

Whoa. Flame war much? I’m just excited to see something actually happening on this project. I remember, back in 2000, when they were gonna have Jackie Chan play Vegeta. That was eight years ago but daaaaaaaang right?

 
Grey_Fox on April 23, 2008

I agree with darth Acer the film is happening doesn’t that mean all you dragonball fans should be happy and excited that HOLLYWOOD have decided to put money into this project, so come on. the film isn’t going to be as good or anywhere near the same ball park as the series but it will be good is your a fan to see something liek this. I think they should do a final fantasy advent children style of film but oh well

 
Wickle_Man on April 24, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

Nah,a CG film just does not feel right for such an awesome series.
I like this idea fine.
Unfortunately, like the video games, it has its own bit of an original splice into it.
It’s cool, though. Totally going to see this motha!

 
super saiyan 09 on May 14, 2008

Pretty much all of you on this site deserve a big pat on the back for defending the movie. Nice to know I’m not the only true fan out here.

 
Priverson on May 14, 2008

I can see there are some true fans to hollywood making up excuses to defend this movie.

 
super saiyan 09 on May 15, 2008

Hollywood has nothing to do with what I said Priverson. It was crticism and Dragon Ball. Think about what you say before you say it dumbass.

 
Priverson on May 15, 2008

And next time before you call people dumbass try and check if you’re contradicting yourself

 
super saiyan 09 on May 15, 2008

Deny it if you want Priverson.Throw back insults won’t work on me and insults in general won’t work on me.

 
Max on May 16, 2008

All I can say is that I never really cared for DBZ or GT, original DB is where the awesomeness is. To see it put into film is fine. Wish it had a Titanic sized budget but meh, oh well. At least it’s FINALLY happening. I think I’ll just download it, then if it’s any good I’ll pay to see it.
I can GUARANTEE at least one good thing about this! LESS FAT GOKU COSPLAYERS! With this normal sized guy playing Goku it may very well be the cure for the disease that is the obligatory fat Goku cosplayer at EVERY anime convention ever. Tell you what though, last year at Anime Central I saw THE BEST Hercule I have EVER seen. OMFG Fox could never cast anybody better than this dude I saw at ACen. I seriously did a double take, walked up to him & bowed before his awesomeness he even SOUNDED like Hercule. Albeit the English dub guy but still it was totally bad ass. Anyway I digress, Kudos to Grey_Fox. I agree whole heartedly. It’s not gonna be the DB movie we all imagined, but dammit it’s happening! I mean how many of you assholes boycotted X-men because Wolverine wasn’t a 5′3″ guy wearing yellow spandex? Not many I bet. Geez, even if this movie goes out on a limb & veers of into a wall with it’s source material Like the X series did by X-men: Last Stand can you honestly say you won’t see it? IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING! IT WILL NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU IMAGINED, you’ve been imagining this for YEARS! GET OVER IT! It might be a good movie, even if it isn’t our beloved Dragon Ball.
