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.

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.

I have a feeling those so-call Dragonball fans who support this cinematic disgrace have a tendancy of doing stupid things like believing in the ‘A FAKE’ that even Toriyama himself denied.
It’s the anime I’m concerned about dooshbag. How do you know that was really Toriyama anyway? I swear to god I read one more trashy comment from you I’m going to track you down and kamehameha you right in your dragon balls.
Some people claim they are eligible for doing kamehameha when they don’t have the single idea what Toriyama said.
FYI Priverson I DO know what he said. Just that he’s not involved in this and he’s mad about this as some people are. Now who’s stupid huh?
How involved is Toriyama with this film anyway? I apologize in advance for not already knowing. I just wasn’t really interested in this until recently. I’m not a big fan of DBZ or GT but DB was just fantastic if Toriyama has nothing to do with this it’ll be a huge let down.
I’ll be grateful that this FINALLY happened if it stays true to Toriyama’s vision. Even if it has a crap budget I’ll be satisfied so long as no creative freedoms are taken with the STORY!
Well as somebody too “smart” to understand I had been talking about the ‘A FAKE’ instead of this movie pointed out, Toriyama doesn’t have a hand in this.
Got any another comebacks for me Piverson or did I own you?
Priverson ignore what I my last entry but I was on youtube and saw videos titled Dragon Ball AF. Af is not supposed to exist everyone in the videos were in their DBZ states(Goku in red suit, Vegeta in his blue, trunks and goten were kids etc). All these new villains were in them however and they had old famous villains with the M on them. One villain looked like a bigger Cell for example. Also in a video old villains ganged up on the Z fighters including movie ones. Are these movies in Japan or something? Could somebody please explain? You don’t believe me go there yourself and type in Dragon Ball AF(or just google it.
That one villain I talked about(that looks like Cell) could also be a third form of Janemba? One thing wrong was in one video Gohan kills him and another Vegeta does. Also aren’t animated movies done? CGI should be their next step after this live action stuff.
