There was a rumor that the person, who use to play Goku, was always missing and slowing the process down. So is Justin Chatwin, the second Goku chosen? Thats where I got 2009. |

 I can't wait. He actually looks like gokou too with his nose and all. He's already got blond hair, c'mon now. Tell you what. Graphics are gonna be him standing in a really windy room to get his hair flowing up, ahaaa. I've been waiting for db movie since I saw Neo vs Mr. Smith. I was like OMG, Potential! Anyway, yep, August 15th. Looked it up. |

Thats like the rumor they had about making Avatar into a live action movie. I mean, I'm kinda iffy about any of these kinds of ideas but its always nice to see paranormal movies.
 Gotta love those super powers.

I was just thinking the same thing. My son is going through a major Dragonball phase right now so the characters are fresh in my mind. This is guy IS NOT Goku. I'm a little dismayed, to be honest. It's like the movie is being made by the friggin WB or something.

I have to note that while the anime is obviously Japanese, that doesn't necessarily make the characters as such.
1) Goku is an alien. Born from the planet Vegeta, the home of the Saiyans, Goku was sent to Earth in a very Superman fashion. Technically he cannot be asian. He could very well be similar to any race on Earth, since he clearly resembles a human in every way. 2) Bulma has blue hair. Asians characteristically have dark hair. More to the point, her and her father's company, Capsule Corps, is located in "West City" which could be interpreted as a western city, IE American. However Asia and America don't really exist in the Dragonball world. So differing characters by race is pointless. |

I've seen that actor, he was the kid from Lost that hoodwinked Locke (if you remember the episode... Locke was living with the pot farmers). He's just not at all Goku to me. My problem is with the choice overall, not the particular continent that the actor is from, if that makes sense. The same thing with Bulma. Bulma is the quintessential fiesty female character of the Dragonball verse. That actress is hardly umph enough for Bulma. |

Yeah a lot of people DID however have issue with his race. Holy crap that IS the kid that tricked Locke from Further Instructions!!! Wow. I didn't even realize that. How pathetic am I? I think Emmy Rossum could pull off the Leia-like qualities of Bulma. She was remotely rebellious in Poseidon, but I honestly think she hasn't been in enough roles to really gauge her acting prowess. She could very well clinch it. I agree though about Chatwin. I'm not a fan really. But maybe he'll take off with it, who knows. |

I'm wondering if they're going to start him off as a kid (with monkey tail). That would be cool. |

I just don't understand. :[ No one looks right (haven't seen images of Piccolo yet). How hard would it have been to get Bulma some blue damn hair?! Master Roshi isn't nearly perverted looking enough. And OMG. What the f**k is going on with Yamcha? Just what the f**ks all around. I can't even get started on Goku. I mean, he's got that naive look down and all, but meh. I was hoping for the anime to come to life and that is probably where I'm going about this all wrong. It's clearly a gross adaptation and if I can get that squared away in my head, perhaps I can enjoy this. |

Well, looks can be deceiving. They may not LOOK like the characters from DBZ, but we should focus on how WELL they portay them. Just my opinion, we don't know if the movie is going to suck just because some actor/actressses don't look exactly like certain characters.
You're not going to find buffed-asian-big-hair-men just like *poof*. Anyways, this movie production looks like it's going to happen anyways, so why complain? Just watch how it all plays out. Who knows? Maybe they chose the actors/actresses to act as a particular character for a purpose. Just saying my opinion. I think it's better not to judge so quickly at looks when you haven't even seen the actual film yet. |

I could've sworn there was already a topic for this.
But anyways, I watched the trailer earlier this afternoon and it looked really...comedic. Like, the acrobatics were goofy and some of the characters look kinda off. Like Bulma. When did she become a super-killer bitch? |

I'm 100% pleased with the way this movie is turning out so far.
Nobody in their right mind would expect a Hollywood adaptation of Dragonball to actually be good, so that's moot as a standard to aspire to. No, the real danger here is the movie being just good enough to be mediocre. Thankfully, that's not the case. With the way things are ensuing, this will join the ranks of Battlefield Earth and The Grudge as an AAA movie to watch on Rifftrax. And by AAA, I mean complete dog****. I wouldn't have it any other way. |

This will be interesting to see how it turns out. Live action and Action anime don't seem like something that would work well.

I watched part of this. It wasn't that bad, if you look at it from a random movie perspective, instead of a Dragonball movie perspective. Problem with that, is that it is a Dragonball movie and as such, I lost part of my soul last night.
