Screenwriter Ben Ramsey has signed on to a half-million-dollar deal to adapt
Dragonball Z, according to Variety.
Dragonball Z was adapted from the "Dragonball" manga created by Akira Toriyama and later developed into a Japanese anime skeinskein spanning scores of hours of television.
Ramsey ("The Big Hit") recently penned the adaptation of Marvel's "Luke Cage," as well as "Static."
"Dragonball Z" follows the adventures of an adult humanoid alien who's just discovered that he was sent to Earth to blend in and destroy our population but instead elects to protect it from an oncoming alien onslaught.
