New Dragonball: Evolution Trailer, Reshoots Explained
Dragonball: Evolution (2009) Movie, Videos — By Nix on December 10, 2008
Since “Dragonball’s” got a spiffy new subtitle, FOX has created a spiffy new trailer to show it off. And so — the latest trailer for “Dragonball”, complete with the new, added title. It doesn’t look half bad. That is, if you aren’t obsessed with the cartoons and comic books and toys and all the rest. If you were Joe Blow coming off the street, you might think this would make a decent Sunday morning viewing with your 7-year old kid. Then again, if you’re watching movies on Sundays with 7-year old kids, you might have bigger problems. Anyhoo, here’s the first official trailer for “Dragonball: Evolution”. Is it just me, or did they cram this thing with some very nice looking ass-kicking chicks? You go, girls.
The story begins with Goku, who seeks out upon his adoptive grandfather Grandpa Gohan’s dying request to find the great Master Roshi and gather all seven Dragon Balls. Of which he has one, in order to prevent the evil Lord Piccolo from succeeding in his desire to use the Dragon Balls to take over the world. And Goku’s quest is to obtain the mystical Dragonballs before Piccolo does.
Starring Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Chow Yun Fat, Emma Rossum, and directed by James Wong.
Get some balls April 8, 2009.
Meanwhile, Jamie Chung (who plays Chi Chi in the movie) told MTV the reasons for the recent news of a reshoot. Well, not reshoots, more like reshoot. As in, one scene. One humongous, very important scene, says Chung.
“I think it’s just one scene that they’re gonna have to reshoot and it’s the end fight,” Chung said of what they were re-tooling. “I fortunately will not have to go back. I think it’s the big fight between Justin Chatwin and James Marsters.”
I’m guessing it’s all fireballs and secret power moves and junk like that. You know, the thing you Dragonball kids love so much.
Anyways, Chung also reveals that she and the cast have also been signed for two sequels, which isn’t a surprise. Nowadays everyone is signed for additional sequels. It’s getting them to do it for the initially agreed-upon price once the movie is a hit that’s the problem.

I think this looks much better, can’t wait.
Looks like they finally made piccolo green. Good. This might not be so bad… Hopefully.
hahahahahahaha finally, it a trailer that has a db feel to it instead of jus ta martial arts movie!
lol so many explosions and theres a capsule corp!
Whoever thinks this trailer is anywhere near decent or has anything even close to Dragonball apart from the names should turn themselves in at some mental institute
This film needs some serious help dude..
THey need to burn it and try again.. Try VERY HARD
Priverson give it a rest. You need to seriously stop complaining just because it isn’t the same as the anime. That trailer didn’t look that bad. I might actually see this now. Just three things wrong the beginning seemed like it was taken from Heroes. You can also hear Goku say in the trailer At 1:51 Goku “We Need to find the Dragon Balls before the eclipse”. Was that taken from Avatar The Last Airbender? That robot scorpion thing looks cool Bulma will probably be more than her anime counterpart. Can’t wait to see Chi-Chi actually fight that’s gonna be cool.
You know, you won’t find me complaining if this movie is totally different from the anime. Yes, everything, including the title, the character names, the item names…..
If those guys choose to use the name of Dragonball, then they either do it correctly along the lines of the anime, or face the boycott from the world
One more thing Why the hell did they change it to evolution? That makes it sound like a new series.
duh, it is a new series, theres already an anime. why make a movie if we know whats gonna happen in it.
CHANGE EVERYTHING!
So.. We have come to an offical trailer.
!!!
Wow.. Honestly I think they shit on everything that has ever had the Dragonball name in it.. This is shitting on Akira Toriyama and the fans, right in the face. Going to see this movie is like sitting under the toliet in a porter potty, swimming in the blue water with your mouth wide waiting for a giant piece of shit to come squishing out of an ass and into the mouth of every fan. Wondering how many long I can go calling dragonball EVOLUTION shit? Years..? If you say give it a chance.. then you have lost all right to say you’re a fan of dragonball. They have made a kids movie. Master Roshi isnt a pervert? We have to use the dragonballs by the eclipse?… Weaver…? great shit
U PEOPLE CALL U’R SELVES FANS IF U REALLY WERE A FAN U WOULD HAVE STICKEN TO THE NEWS AND AT LEAST KNOW THIS THAT THINGS WEREN’T GONNA BE EXACTLY AS IT IS IN THE ANIME AND COME ON HOW CAN IT BE IT WILL LOOK STUPID THEY WANTED TO MAKE IT MORE REAL LIFE LIKE AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DID.AND IT’S NOT EVEN DRAGONBALL Z IT’S DRAGONBALL THE FIRST SERIES REMEMBER EXCEPT EVERYTHING U’R COMPLAINING ABT KRILLIN AND ALL WILL BE IN THE NEXT MOVIE AND DON’T SAY IT WILL SUCK COZ U THINK IT WILL JUST GIVE IT A GODDAMN CHANCE IT AINT RUINING THE ANIME IT’S JUST AN ADOAPTATION AND IT WILL BE FINE.U’R NO DRAGONBALL FAN U’R DRAGONBALL Z FANS AND IF U CALL U’R SELF TRUE FANS U’R WRONG.JUST GIVE THIS MOVIE A CHANCE IT CAN BE BETTER THEN EXPECTED AND IF U WANT TO PROVE U’R SELF AS A TRUE FAN JUST GO WATCH THE MOVIE WHEATHER IT’S THE GREATEST MOVIE ON THE PLANET OR A MOVIE THAT SUCKS.
Dude Ive been a fan for dragonball and dragonball z since i was 7
!!
Im 19 now This is no Dragonball Demon King Piccolo didnt kill Grandpa gohan, Goku did accidentally! This is shit. If you at all knew the entire storyline I think you would be a little pissed too! And im not worried about it ruining the anime i am worried about it ruinning the Manga. The manga is Toriyama’s legacy and America just crapped all over it. But then again i dont expect you to know the diffrence haha
LET’S TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT MAKES ME SOUND REALLY ANGRY ABOUT A SHOW I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TEE HEE. He is a true fan, don’t just assume that he isn’t because he won’t see the movie. They drastically changed a lot of things and it is going to piss a lot of “true fans” off. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, BUT U’R JUSS SOUNDIN DUM. You can go see it and give it a chance, but I’m sure many people won’t for the reason that IT IS GOING TO SUCK.

yah this movie doesnt look that bad, ive seen everything on dragon ball, and if you think about not adding krillin, chou zou and tien isnt it a possibility that all this could be in the dragon ball series after they all got killed, and after goku recieved his training from kami im just saying thats most likely not the reason, but one of the real thing that bothers me about this is the girl thats there enemy, whos she supposed to be? and why couldnt piccolo just have a cool minion?
That girl is Agent Mai, who in the anime worked for Emperor Pilaf along with his other henchmen Chu. Why aren’t they using any of his henchmen from the anime is just stupid and to steal stuff from heroes and avatar the last airbender is just plain lazy, retarded, and unoriginal.
