They wont do it well. Forget it. They are more interested in the spectacle than giving a great performance.
I dont think there should be any real well known actors in it. Jet li is too OLD for Veget. Not in shape enough anymore. These guys need to be RIPPED.
Robin Shou, DONNIE YEN
Plus why do they have to be Asian. They certainly dont look it in the animation.
Somone who can really flex out when powering up.
Has anyone though of Earny Reyes Junior. He's pretty powerful and totally ripped.
Did you see him in the Rundown with the ROCK
I don't know the name of the bad guy in Charlies Angels Full throttle. The young dude that plays Shamus. Would be a nice Vegeta.
I don't have ideas for the others, I'm kinda skeptical over a DBZ movie. Well not that I wouldn't like to see one, but I dont' think they would make it right. It would be cool to make the movie about the fight against Brolli the Legendary Super Sayan, but then we wouldn't see Goku go further then SSJ2.
Dragonball Z could be more sucessful than ANY movie yet, *if* ILM works with some real MARTIAL ARTISTS, or more appropreatly Mystics, Chi Gong Masters, maybe an accomplished/authentic Yogin (each of which are distinct parts of the Dragonball world and ESPECIALLY the characters fighting styles). Ya see, computer graphics suck when applied to martial arts, no programmer with bad posture sitting at a computer can even imagine what a human body breaking concrete would look like, thats why the Hulk sucked. You need the right person with a WORKING knowledge of the physical body SOMEWHERE in between the actors and the graphics dude. Jeez.
I LOVE DRAGONBALL Z.
The epic story of Goku, a killing machine from space... who becomes brain damaged as a baby and is rendered overly optimistic and child like and in his confusion takes up the position of the DEFENDER OF EARTH. I always thought of DB as superman with a totally goofy japanese sense of humor. The story of Kalel (Clark Kent) accedently landing in China, then is raised by martial arts masters and grows up fighting bullies, powerhungry armies and evil demons who mess with him. He develops or aquires hard chi gong ("my grandpa taught me how to make my body like steel" -goku age 11), pyrokinesis (kamehameha), levetation, telepathy, teleportation, all of which are timelessly and repetitivly recorded FUNCTIONS (more accuratly; spiritual attainments) of the human body (refer to Native American,Indian,andChinese philosophy/mythology, some of the oldest civalizations around). And most importantly the trancendential state of the body and mind: Gokus' conciousness overcoming and adapting to whatever life had in store, which happened to be a WHOLE lot. You go Goku. This series of movies could be a very, very good vessel of eastern wisdom and philosophy, or a very, very bad war-justifying propaganda tool. We'll have to wait & see.
donnie yen would work, the dude has muscles youve never seen on a white boy, sorry dudes, he REALLY HAS done all sorts of funky and unique training methods like demonstrated in DB and DBZ. He and Jet Li could get closer to truthfully "powering up" than any shi--y (swolen and UNmovable) hollywood actor could. Arnold???!!! (I'm reminded of Hercule's "High Tension" state).
