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.

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.

Dragonball stole from Heroes and Airbender? Sure it did. I guess that means Heroes stole from DC and Marvel, and Airbender stole from every Anime out there.
The beginning of the trailer with the sun being blocked out looks like it’s from Heroes and getting the dragon balls before the eclipse is like when aing had to beat the firelord before the eclipse. That’s the only parts I know of that they stole for this movie.
This is a total shit. Im not going to watch it. They are using Dragon Ball elements (as the balls, roshi?, etc) and making a collage; i think Fox (and that asshole of Rupert Murdoch) dont have any respect for the fans or Toriyama. I rather to watch the 20 minutes movie of DBZ 40 anniversary that Toriyama just made or wait for another sequence for 10 ten years. In my opinion it cant be call Dragon ball because it is not.
your still at just give it up Priverson maybe you should get a job on the ebert and roeper show nothing you say will change this movie it\’s gonna happen your acting like your getting paid to be a critic on this movie give it a rest go take a nap somewhere
Working on Christmas, eh.
How much overtime is Fox paying you?
Oh Priverson, when will you give it a rest there buddy? (and yes i made sure to spell your name right so that you wont complain like a baby again)
even if fox is paying that guy….who is paying you? Jezz I took a few months off and when I come back, guess what i found? dont know do you? look in the mirror if you have one. i still see you crying because fox made your lil toy come to life, awwww isn’t that sad now, almost make me wanta be sad for you =(…..almost
(if that was too hard for you to comprehend, i meant to say that they made a live action movie of dragon ball, and it hurts your feeling)
since you were always talking about how the japanese were on strike, i swear they must be the one paying you, because jezz give it rest, its like you re on a mission to take down fox or something
oh you dont you just miss my long comeback?
what ever happen to the other guy also? he was pretty cool, he at least knew what he was talking about, instead of you
okay, its your turn now, hit me with some lame comeback and totally disregarded what say by saying something else to make yourself look like an idiot
I have nothing much to say, except that I can see from your lame comments a total lack of respect for the Japanese people and culture, which I find remarkably similar to people working for many US movie firms, not just Fox
Im a huge Dragonball, DBZ, & DBGT fan. This is just a recommendation to all the other fans like me. And this is what Im gonna do too. JUST DONT WATCH THIS CRAP, DONT WATCH IT AT ALL. And when someone asks “Have you seen the new Dragonball Live Action Movie!?” Then just tell them, Hell nah, You mean that kids movie called Dragonball Evolution….SUPER GAY. And one last thing… Goku in High School fighting other students GET THE F**K OUTTA HERE LMAO!
oh priverson, you are so right, you always know what to say, and i can always count on you to say what i want you to say =)
if it wasn’t for you making a total idiot out of yourself, i dont know how i would be able to make fun of you =)
Yeah yeah, go ahead with the insults now that your cover’s blown
Oh yes, that is right, i really hate the japanese and not the stupid kid that think he can see the future and tell me that this movies suck so he is violently telling me to not go watch this movie
I guess the whole world’s all stupid kids except for you now, then
