Dragonball Pushed Back to 2009

Dragonball: Evolution (2009) Movie — By Nix on March 5, 2008 |

Maybe 20th Century FOX is feeling the same kind of pangs of doubt about the upcoming live-action “Dragonball” movie that the fans seem to feeling, which may explain why they’ve moved the film from a August 15, 2008 debut to a new time slot in 2009 — specifically April 3, 2009. Everytime I’ve posted some new “Dragonball” news, the reactions by fans of the anime have been almost uniformly negative. Then again, maybe FOX just didn’t want to schedule “Dragonball” against their own “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, which was also due out in the same 2008 week.

More:

Dragonball is adapted from the manga created by Akira Toriyama; the work was also turned into a Japanese anime series that played all over the world. It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys. Justin Chatwin is starring as the hero Goku, while James Marsters will play the villain Piccolo in the sci-fi adventure.

The film stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park and Chow Yun-Fat.

    In other words, this movie sucks so much that coupled with perhapse a boycott from Japan or all over the world the competition from the other August movies will simply batter it out of the screen, so Fox is retreating it to the April when good movies don’t usually get released.

    i think this will be bad ass…. unless krillian isn’t in it, but i bet he will be from what i’ve recently heard… yeah son

  • Ben Burton says:

    Here’s an idea, seeing as fox are gonna lose money on this anyway, re-do the movie, get a decent cast, change the whole script and keep it more to the manga/anime or just give it to the japanese and let Akira Toriyama do the whole thing!

  • Sato says:

    they r knew nothing about dragon ball.

    the most important is the character. that’s why a lot people love dragon ball. but where is Kuririn (goku bestfriend)?, where is Ten shin Han(goku first rival) ?

    dragon ball is very good, dragon ball Z is awesome, dragon ball GT is bad, and this dragon ball movie is suck.

    As you can see by my screenname I am thrilled with this. I’ve been a huge fan of the Dragon Ball Universe since I was about 7 or 8 years old. I’m now seventeen and still love it. I just James Wong knows and doesn’t mess this up for fans. I want to be Dragon Ball Z then Dragon Ball GT. I’m also on the Krillin and Tien thing(no Chaiotzu please). Slash what I said before first movie should be Emperor Pilaf, 2nd should be the Red Ribbon Army, 3rd should be King Piccolo. Dragon Ball Z live action should be Saiyans,Freiza,Cell,Buu, GT should be Baby, Super 17, Shenrons. It probaly won’t o past Dragonball though(no offense).

    Byron unfortunately it ended with GT. At least that was their plans for it. A series after GT called AF was a myth but I really want them just as much as you do. A manga for Dragon Ball AF is being made by fans in Japan but I don’t know if it will come to America. Hopefully this movie will reboot the Dragon Ball franchise. If not as you have the video games, action figures you had when you were little, movies, cards, etc. then Dragon Ball will always be with you.
