Dragonball’s Producer Speaks (SPOILERS)
Tim Van Rellim, Dragonball’s executive producer, recently spoke to a Durango newspaper, where he reveals MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS on the film.
Tim Van Rellim reveals that Goku dies in the beginning of the second part of Dragonball
At least that’s what recently commented Tim Van Rellim, producer of Dragon Ball, in an exclusive chat in el Siglo of Durango, in which he spelled out precisely the death of the protagonist will be the beginning of the second part of the story, it it is also very likely to be recorded in Durango.
“Durango has been a phenomenal place to record. We had many sets and the truth never felt paparazzis or harassment of the press and elsewhere and in other productions. It is a very quiet place, we were treated very well, “he said.
The producer of the film confessed that three movies are scheduled for history, the second of which is in the process of planning. “It is not yet confirmed, but it is more than likely that the costs billed in this city will bring us back.”
Another source of production reported that the blue skies of Durango is another very important reason. “In New Zealand there are very similar skies, but the sets are infested with Power Rangers.”
“Dragon Ball was an experience. We are very happy to have held only time we plan. There were not many setbacks, as only surprises when we were recording in Mexiquillo, but those are go with the job. ”
AT END OF YEAR PREMIERE PRODUCTION OF THE SECOND PARTWhen asked how long until the second part begins, the producer said he hoped to resume his post at the end of this year.
PREMIERES: Summer or October?
“We hurried, and the premiere will [hopefully] be in the summer or October at the latest.” (?)
It is now expected, because the following projects come with more purpose, i.e. with more shooting interiors than field. I hope to be back over here, we tried really hard [and it's been] incredible. ”
The behavior of the members of the cast, the producer said that he noticed them excited, but that it would not deliver trials of its performance before the cameras.
“That it is up to the director. I saw them many times and could only say wonderful things from them, “he concluded.
The translation isn’t perfect, but we can see sequels are clearly in the works.

@Karai: It just means they haven’t decided what exact date to delay it, if at all.
@Adam: Yeah, but if the theater is told as soon as possible, they’ll start moving things around just so they can get Dragon Ball in. If the date is changed after they did all that work, the theaters will have to push everything they did back and they’ll be pissed. 20th Century Fox won’t be liked by all theaters if that happens.
isn’t* not is
all im saying is im a big fan of the manga, ahow and specials. i dont want them to put out a crappy movie for a quick buck. iwant a trilogy bad as any of u.but i also want movies that not are complete mirror images of the show but are tru to the over all tone and feel of show. if done correctly bring on the trilogy baby.and ur welcome karai.nice avatar by the way
@dk318: Thanks ^-^ I like yours too. Sorry for being a smart ass. =/ People were irritating me else where and I couldn’t handle my self. lol
It’s clear that Karai doesn’t know what she’s talking about
She said 20th century Fox won’t be liked by the theaters lol, ha, ha, ha…. You got to be kidding me!! Fox is the one spending around 100,000,000 million making the movie. I say Fox needs to take there time. They just need to put the promotion out if they decide to put it out early. I still think Dragonball will be out 2009.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: Corey, shut the hell up, you asshole. I think the movie will be great if they viewed it in the Summer or October.
If you’re going to be an ass to me, don’t fucking talk to me or talk about me.
Okay Karai, I’m slow, when you say in the summer, do you mean this summer??? I just need to know because they changed the date 3 different times, thinkin okay, it’s finally been confirmed to April 8, 2009… And now, the executive producer says it will be out sooner? So WTF is going on???
Im not aloud to say this, but…..
My sources say that Karai is wrong!!!! Trust me everyone my sources are never wrong. Just put it this way one of my sources is Bubbles. Oh by the way Karai I never was being a a**!! I haven’t once called you a name, and im not going to either! I like being here. Tell me this Karai!! Just, because I disagree with you on something im a a**???? Does that make me bad?
“I just need to know because they changed the date 3 different times, thinkin okay, it’s finally been confirmed to April 8, 2009… And now, the executive producer says it will be out sooner? So WTF is going on???”
Sean has a point Adam!! What the heck is going on boss???? Is that source good or is it just another April fools joke in Mexico??
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: My guesses are it’s complete Bull****
Mexico’s April Fool’s is in December. It can either be old information or new. Sean, I meant this summer or October. That’s what the bascially the producer said.
Fox still hasn’t confirmed with the theaters that the date has been moved. I wish Fox would catch there shit and fix everything already. As it is, someone might get an ulcer. lol
@Karai: True…true
looks like u handle urself just fine karai no offense corey. im not sure about the theaters or whatever but could it be that they havent gotten a revised schuedule for this summer saying the movie has been moved to next year?
Ouch ulcer!! I hope I don’t get one of those…. Please Hurry up Fox!! I need something fast. I’ve already watch all 4 seasons of Dragonball 7 times already. Ouch im starting to feel it now Karai….
Hold me Shavon!!
Hey Emperor Adam! You still haven’t change Shavon Kirksey name yet at the casting page. Why?
Im sure she looks at this page and wonders who in the heck is Shirvon Kirksey? Her name is Shavon Kirksey dude!! Sorry, don’t mean to correct you boss.
@dk318: I dunno. My friend, Jordan, that works there jsut checked it recently. It said Dragon Ball for the summer. He didn’t bother looking until I talked to him about the movie two days ago.
*ignores Corey*
thanks for the info iv got a cousin who works at a theater. i’ll squeeze him for info and see if i get anything.
dude,corey i cover my ears when i read your text because i can visualize bouncing off of walls do to pure excitement.lol
@dk318: lol cute.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: I bet she’s never been to this site or any other sites that have to do with DB. No offense, Adam.
Whoaaa I should have known Karai was really Isabella. She is known for calling people names.
I wonder what will be her new name tomorrow? Im guessing Weaver!
i just called my cousin in louisiana and he said the exact thing karai said that its still being prep’ed to premire in the theaters at the end of this year.he also said they added a message on the movie phone thing at the call station that says this and their affiliated partners have no news on dragonball so direct your questions elsewhere.i thought that was funny
Dk said….
“dude,corey i cover my ears when i read your text because i can visualize bouncing off of walls do to pure excitement.lol”
Dude!! What are you talking about? lol
im just saying corey you have to be one of the most “jazzed” if you will, dragonball fans ive ever met.its not a diss or anything bro im just saying from your messages it sounds like your on a crunk juice i.v. or something
Hey guys! I’m just wondering whats going on in this here in-tar-webz. Anyways, i g2g back to class. The teacher is hounding me about some kinda of equinox or something haaha! Talk to you later guys!!!
@dk318: Crunk juice lol…yeah Corey, your just so damn hyped up man, but every time I read your comments I can’t help but laugh…And I hardly laugh anymore, haha no seriously
Hey Adam aka Emperor/Boss, when is JP going to do that interview with Brian man? I’m dyin here without any news, it’s like my balls are inert or something!
Oh and here’s a pic a guy from the IMDb boards posted about Piccolo; he said he contacted one of the visual artists or something and she sent him this pic? It looks like a namekian catfish to me lol. You gotta check this out anyway:

@Sean: Not for a while, I don’t think. Maybe next month.
@Adam: Oh well, I guess he was too busy right?
i just wanted to point out that goku did die when piccolo and him were facing off against raditz in the early part of the series. so goku could die at the beggining of the sequel if they’re planning to do one on the saiyan saga after they get done with king piccolo.
I think I’m keeping my name this way.
*Rolls eyes at a certain annoying person.*
@ SEan
… Omgosh… Is that actually…
That doesnt look like a catfish to me t looks like an actual Namek O.O Could that be a CG-render of what Marster’s makeup should be like in the movie?O.o
i think it’s a good idea to have goku die because that gives the rest of the cast a reason to summon Shenron (and i think CGI Shenron would look absolutely amazing, and it’s not like they could do him any other way) and Piccolo will sommon the dragon in dragonball 1 probably because he wants immortality just like every other villain of the DB sagas.
Jeff the DBZ kid whiz has spoken.
Hey buttheads producing the movies….HOW ABOUT A MOVIE PREVIEW. I have waited and waited…now I’m tired of waiting. I mean the antisapation is driveing me insane. I know thier out thier some were, the movie is way over due.
gosh dammit if your a real fan of dragon ball you should no thats not a fuckin spoiler…ofcourse goku is gonna die thats how fuckin dragon ball z start..stop making a big deal out of shit that SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN fuckin nazis
An explanaition for Goku’s death?:
He dies because Piccolo kills him and Raditz, which would be the beggining of the saiyan saga.
Less CGI more latex, blood, and fist:
I’m kind of sad this movie isn’t more of a really gory sort of cartoony b- movie like Nightmare on Elm Street meets Howard the Duck meets Terminator brought to life in a beautifull 2010 neo 80s 50s ultra heavy metal rubber action way.
In the recent set pictures from Durango, I was happy to see Bulma’s costume and especially her hair. The leather and the spandex in the photos so far kind of make me excited in 2 ways. The first it kind of reminds me of karate kid mixed with of course dragonball. The second I just like to see women in leather and spandex.
On the more realistic side the photos also kind of look like high school musical mixed with final destination. I KNOW this movie WILL become like a mix of the two with the sort of lets make CGI emotional with the video game morality zietgiest leftover from LOTR, Spiderman, Star Wars 1-3 and the recent foray of superhero films like superman. All of these aforementioned movies hugely iconic bearing a lot of hopes for moviegoers and all were, for the exception of a few scenes of crazy CGI action, exceptional let downs.
It would be awesome if they relied as heavily on live action stuff as they could and then just tinged it with CGI where they hadto to make it just realistic enough.
AN IMAGE:
Lastly, the movie would start with an anthropomorphic dog in a trenchcoat. (Mcgrough? thief futuristic Mcrough P.I. from Dragonball) He would be examining a dragonball he found in sort of a first scene never happened James Bond type thing. He would be in a bar then King piccolo finds him and punches a gory ditch into his animatronic face then he’d fly wire fu style breaking glass across the futuristic bar in Satan city.
King Piccolo wouldn’t kill CGI people in sloppy mass production but a carefully coreographed mess of individual humans and antrhopomorphic animals one after another with hugely cartoony gory results with super flashy beams and punches resulting in nauseating latex flesh, and red syrup. Dragonball was more about the lowflying, gunslinging, spaceship running across the walls basic wire fu dynamics wich is why I think this movie would be so good if it were all just low tech with some CGI exhaggerations here and there.
WHAT IF?:
That’s the dragonball that would certainly become a wierd cult movie but also engraving itself into atleast a niche, however small it may be. But the dragonball movie could be huge with a certain take achieving the likes of a sort of freaky mix between Batman karate kid and the wierd cartoony massive Hindu vedic like foray that is dragonball. This movie if done the right way could be as big as the Karate Kid series or dare I say the batman series. Our cultural DNA is too important to be throwing it away on CGI dollars for quick fixes.
But if all goes according to plan I would equate the viewing experienc of the new Dragonball movie to eating a bowl of ice cream.
here is a thought….I dont think any one wants to see this movie if it isent going to be as good as say….IRON MAN, or BATMAN. It even said something bout Freddy on ELM ST…..in its day that movie was ahead of its time with graphics and the story line….even though that is hard to say with a straight face. lol    If their isent a 100% garrentee that this movie is going to be a block buster hit “THEN DONT MAKE IT!”. I don’t want to see cheesy wire flying…I want superman/matrix flying. They don’t have the budget?….THEN DON’T MAKE IT. Personaly I liked CGI effects when thier used right. I want some more actors I recognize then just Goku. They cant get more names on thier roster?….THEN DON’T MAKE IT. Who doesen’t want to see Weisly Snipes play piccholo????   My point is none of the fans of dragon ballz want to be dissapointed by this movie at all. Ever since I was a little boy I knew this anime had potential to out shine any special effects movie on the market. I don’t want a bunch of cheesy acting by a bunch of no named, talentless, crap on my dream actors in this movie that I personally have looked forward to for a long, long time. After all the dedication by us fans, we deserve alot better.   All I’m saying is that we want this movie to be nothing but great. We want a promise its going to be as good like, say batman or superman or final destination. Please for the love of god, if the movie isen’t going to be nothing but perfect and mindblowingly amazing THEN DONT MAKE IT. they need to keep in mind that those movies they decided to spit out in our e-mails were ALL BLOCK BUSTERS. pulling in hundreds of millions in just a few weeks. Is this DBZ movie going to be the same as these other movies, like death note or is it going to explode on the big screen??? give us a real answer. We deserve better then cheesy wire flying, and I think everyone would agree.
@Maddog_killa23
Justin Chatwin is not the only big name actor doing this movie. They also have Chow Yun-Fat (Master Roshi/Turtle Hermit), Emmy Rossum (Bulma), Randall Duk Kim (Grandpa Gohan), as well as Ernie Hudson(Master Mutaito(Roshi’s Sensei)). This film has a pretty big budget approx. $100,000,000 and from production pictures I’ve seen they plan on using CGI for a lot more things than you might think. As for Wesley Snipes as Piccolo I personally don’t see that working at all he doesn’t have the right look, mind you I believe they might have found someone better than James Masters (From Buffy The Vampire Slayer).
As for the release date it’s clearly labeled on many websites(including highly credible ones) as April 8th, 2009. My thoughts on the “summer or October” release is for Dragonball Z. Also about the whole protagonist dying off it’s Goku if you have ever seen the series you would know that he dies in Episode 4 while pinning Raditz so Piccolo can get a clear shot with his ‘Special Beam Cannon’. That would not be a dissapointment to me in any way as there would be no other way for him to learn both Kaoken and Spirit Bomb techniques he learns from King Kai. Both of which are very much essential to keep true to the anime story line(Saiya-jin Saga, Frieza Saga, and Buu Sagas). I also hope just to do justice to the series that they will do more than 3 movies because in 3 movies theres only so much that can be covered (e.g. King Piccolo Saga, Saiya-jin Saga, and Frieza Saga) which wouldn’t even cover HALF the series. Figure 291 Episodes (276 released in US other 15 supposedly coming out in Uncut Season Boxsets) and the Frieza Saga ends with Episode 91 – Namek’s Explosion – Goku’s End. My only irk with this movie is that it would seem Krillin is not included he may seem like a needless character to some but he’s essential to the story who else would Goku train with at Master Roshi’s? How else would he get off the Spirit Bomb that annihilates Vegeta? And How else would he become enraged enough to become a Super Saiya-jin? They even included Yamcha who’s only role really was as the desert bandit which to my knowledge they skip completely over that part of the series.

Pay attention the article said:
PRODUCTION PREMIERE!
NOT MOVIE PREMIERE!
I hope goku dies in the second movie, then maybe he can train with king kai!!
cant believe it they changed the whole dragonball plot… this sucks… they said that the humans made the dragonballs and goku is not an alien but was born on earth and the dragonballs chose him to protect the earth when he was born
