Dragonball Z Live Action Movie

Started by Yoshi Paradise16 pages

I saw that article a few days ago.

I guess I should have posted it in here. 😛

So will it be Piccolo or Piccolo Jr. as the Villain?

probably just Piccolo.

i really want to know more about this movie, like will they take DBZ in a totally new direction with DBZ or having it be in the DBZ universe with people like Mr Popo, Senzu beans, flying cloud Nimbus, dinosaurs and etc

i think jackie chan should play goku

And Jet Li as Vegeta ermm

Both Jet Li and Jackie "Yackie" Chan are way too old for these roles.

not to mention they look nothing like the characters that people want them to play.

Very true.

Jamie Chung is playing Chi Chi..

nah there is no official site or teasers or trailers yet. All we have from DBZ is:

-Director (James Wong? the dude from Final Destination)
-Producer (Stephen Chow)
-Goku (Justin Chatwin)
-Piccolo (James Marsters)
-Chi Chi (Jamie Chung)
-some mexican girl rumoured to be Bulma

i think they could do a decent job with this movie, i just saw the trailer of the Speed Racer movie and it looks...kinda cool lol it does have things that are from the original anime show i dunno how faithful its gonna be though since i have only watched a few episodes when i was very young

I'll have to look for it...

EDIT: Found it.

YouTube video

lmao!

Danny DeVito as Krillin. You know they were just kiddin' about that one..

Jeez, after think about it, i don't know who i'd cast for Krillin's role. probably a short random actor/american shaolin monk.

I did like Snipes as Picollo, though. Blade makes me think so. Come to think of it, Blade and Picollo kinda have the same good guy/bad guy attitude and voice, too.

This will either go the way of the super mario brothers live action movie, the fist of the north star action movie and the street fighter action movie and tank hard or be as good as the mortal kombat live action movies.

I see it tanking maybe. How do you make a live action DBZ? It's way too intense. The matrix revolution came close to what it can look like with Mr. Anderson and Neo fight at the end but but still, how can you pull such a explosively vast story and universe off in real life like that.

Look at the starwars Prequels, maybe this movie will be a CGI / green screen over kill. if they got the budget to pull it off, which they probably dont.

Joon Park plays Yamcha

I hope they "adapt" the universe to fit ours. The dinosaurs and bear-people just wouldn't do it for the general public, methinks.
