Slashfilm found the first American teaser poster for DragonBall! It’s almost exactly like the Japanese teaser poster we posted earlier today, only the text is written in English.

    @victor: this poster should have been way better if its real. even if its just a teaser.so im going to say this poster sucks even though it kills me say because im a huge fan. but im not going to turn into a fanboy and say its awsome just because its dragonball.

    im sorry but this has to be fake it looks so bad, and to the guys saying it looks too professional to be fan made cummon its terrible! I know tons of people who can do better than that, if this is real I have very low hopes for this movie

    and that is one of the most cheap ass generic logos I have ever had the misfortune of seeing….sigh

    Hey what’s up Sean? Dude the new poster freakin rocks!! It’s the best teasor poster I’ve ever seen. Hey Sean have you ever seen the 1st teasor poster for The Dark knight and Transformers? They were pretty much Boring dude!! Read Victor comment and you’ll see! You have to remember they can’t reveal to much, because it’s supposed to be a teasor poster dude. I think they revealed alot from my perspective. They showed a orange Dragonball, they showed the dragonball in the sky, and they show the year of Dragonball. The Dragonball poster looks freakin’ amazing bro :wink: !!!!

  13. April 28th, 2008 at 05:01 | #13

    Hey Jc I like your remake dude!! :D

  14. April 28th, 2008 at 05:17 | #14

    I can’t breath, I can’t breath!!!!
    Sorry to triple post Adam, but James Marsters said there is going to be energy blasts in Dragonball. Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! He said this at the Rift convention

    Yes!!!! There will be blasts

    That poster looks damn cheap…are you sure this is real?!

  18. April 28th, 2008 at 08:35 | #18

    yeah its real.. how could a fake poster be promoted in a billboard thing at the theatres next to other posters such as “prom night” visible in the reflections… also there are 2 versions japanese and english. and the lightning forms a dragon! Its gotta be pro! no doubt about it…

  19. April 28th, 2008 at 08:36 | #19

    @Mandy: 99% sure.

  20. April 28th, 2008 at 08:39 | #20

    the only sucky thing about it is the design of the dragonball.. my only argument is that the stars SHOULD BE RED!… like my dragonball… :P :D
    and it looks too cartoonish.. it should have more definiton and form.. more 3D like.
    heres my remake.. again..

    You want to know what’s funny!! These dudes are calling me names? First of all I ain’t gay! I believe only a man and a women should be together. That still doesn’t give me a reason to judge people. I don’t have the power to do that. Im very sorry if I look weird to you. If you got a problem with the way I look then join the club. I use to get beat up in highschool for the way I look. I love how God made me and you should too. Im not going to change, because you want me to look a certain way. Sorry to disapoint you, but im not gay. If it gives you some pleasure or something to call me gay then I feel sorry for you, because I don’t roll like that bro. Oh yeah I almost forgot to ask my favorite moderator something. Hey Adam!!!

    Robert g and our welcome guest are flamming!!
    :)

    WOw!!!! That Dragonball poster rocks

  22. April 28th, 2008 at 08:50 | #22

    @JC is Goku: Nice

    Ok everyone no more flaming. :!:

  23. April 28th, 2008 at 09:01 | #23

    @JC is Goku: Hey wait a tic!! That is the prom night poster in the reflection. So I guess they did take a picture of that Dragonball poster at the theater. Whoaaaa Does this mean they got Dragonball poster at theaters now?? Yesssssss!! I think im going to the theater tonight to take a picture of the poster. I hope my Amc theater has one. Thanks JC!

  24. April 28th, 2008 at 09:05 | #24

    Hmmm… this is actually pretty lame for a teaser poster. It looks fan-made. Even the title fonts don’t look right. It’s almost like someone made their own, then took a picture of it to pass it off as an official poster in a theatre somewhere. And yes, I do think a fan would go through this much trouble for a hoax. If not, this movie might be in danger of getting some terrible marketing.

    Do we even know where these pictures were even taken? It seems odd that they’re distributing posters already.

    And personally, I was hoping they would re-invent the look of the dragon balls for this movie. I always imagined that in live-action, the balls would retain their orange crystal look, but the stars would be replaced by glowing orbiting sprites inside the ball. The stars on the outside look too cartoonish for this.

  25. April 28th, 2008 at 09:07 | #25

    @Chris: Just a teaser.

  26. April 28th, 2008 at 09:24 | #26

    An after-thought…

    In some early character notes, they specified that Goku’s four-star Dragonball would be changed to a three-star for this movie. If that’s the case, they wouldn’t make a poster with the four-star ball on it.

    I’m 100% positive this is fan-made now.

  27. April 28th, 2008 at 09:29 | #27

    Oh, wait. Unless that was a typo.

    Meh. Still another year to go anyways. They’ve got plenty of time to restaff their marketing department.

  28. April 28th, 2008 at 09:30 | #28

    @Chris: Casting notes are not a reliable source for detailed information on the story.

    Once Stephen Chow was hired, he changed Ninjnas into Demons. Why couldn’t he change the 3-star to 4-star?

    chris badass point god damnit yall i need varification on this poster everyone makes great point to why its real and fake im torn….everyone leave oreywilson alone!! i have friends who are gay big deal they dont hit on me of anything they help me with women so corey we can be bros

  30. Matthew
    April 28th, 2008 at 09:38 | #30

    whats the point of making goku’s dragonball a four star..thats irrelevant to me but hey why does the poster HAVE to be the dragonball that gohan gave to goku?? it doesnt it could just be any one of the dragonballs 1 to seven stars but we need fox to comment on the posters

  31. April 28th, 2008 at 09:53 | #31

    @Matthew: lol, ha, ha, ha, ha…. Matthew Im only attracted to women dude so that is not the case. I actually have a huge crush on Shavon Kirskey and Emmy Rossum. I can’t wait to take a picture with them!! Shavon said I am sweet :oops:

    Anways, I said what I had to say. If no one believes me I don’t care. I didn’t come here to talk about stupid stuff like that. I came here to talk about Dragonball!!!!
    Personally I think I look like a saiyan :mrgreen:

  32. April 28th, 2008 at 09:59 | #32

    Please don’t bring sexual orientation into the comments. This isn’t IMDB. Anyone who is homophobic can leave the site for good.

    Corey, just ignore those comments.

  33. April 28th, 2008 at 10:15 | #33

    Sorry Adam, but I wasn’t the one who started it! I saw no one saying anything about them flamming me so I had the right to defend myself. I’ll ignore it next time, but Im sure you’ll do the same if you was in my situation at the moment. Anyways Im sorry Emperor Adam! Your doing an excellent job with the site boss :mrgreen: So in the words of Goku

    Lets eat!!!!

    It’s not bad…though i’m not a fan of the word art for “Dragonball”.

  35. April 28th, 2008 at 10:43 | #35

    @Jnas:

    Yeah I agree thats what makes it kinda look fan mad but other then that I like it!

    hey adam, do you have any idea where they got “the legend comes to life”

  37. Matthew
    April 28th, 2008 at 11:13 | #37

    i was just defending corey even tho hes not gay ok done with that…even tho i think some people who comment on this site should take sociology…anyway my first thoughts on the poster were “looks too fake” everyone on this site convinced me its real so its on yall im gonna rag on everyone if its fake…i still see the japan one being real and the american one just being a knock off but yall all say its real and make good points to your thoughts…i do think the japan one is better ours looks too much like a cartoon the japan one looks like a live action poster.

  38. April 28th, 2008 at 11:32 | #38

    I think this poster awnsered alot of questions! The Dragonball Z poster 6 years ago failed to do that. I think this has to be the best teasor poster by far. It tells us so much! We know that they decided to call it “Dragonball”. We also know Dragonball will be out 2009. The question that im wondering about is what is the sequal going to be called? Dragonball: The saiyan saga or Dragonball Z???? I guess it’s not important right now….
    I can’t wait to see a poster with James Marsters!!!!
    Hey Matthew you should really get a gravatar bro. Gravatars rock!!!!

    April 28th, 2008 at 11:46 | #40

    corey you really think this is a good teaser poster??? the dark knight and transformers were both about 10 times better than this and looked great, I didnt care for either of those films before i saw the posters of those but they made me think they could be cool movies….this film I care alot for but this poster makes me think bad bad bad bad things for this movie, just look at the logo!!!!!

    I studied graphic design (altho i dropped out becuase I didnt think it challenged me enough) and this realy isnt very professional looking at all

    and i really cant get over the logo/title treatment just looks soooooooooo bad :(

  41. spidey-dude
    April 28th, 2008 at 11:48 | #41

    the title treatment of this website actually looks about 10 times better than this “official” one……..I can’t see this poster being real and if it is I might cry

  42. Matthew
    April 28th, 2008 at 11:57 | #42

    spidey dude im in graphic design at Texas and my opinion is that the japan one is real and the american one is a spin off of it…were going to get a different teaser and probably more than one

  43. Matthew
    April 28th, 2008 at 12:12 | #43

    superherhype.com just posted today the pictures of the international poster and us poster for db the movie…this site usually has reliable sources but they have the release date wrong dont know what to think but since that site is credible i think the posters are real.

  44. April 28th, 2008 at 12:14 | #44

    @Matthew: Notice that they linked me too haha.

  45. Matthew
    April 28th, 2008 at 12:16 | #45

    This looks very cheesy. It looks like somethin you’d see from the chinese dragonball movie.

  47. April 28th, 2008 at 13:18 | #47

    I think you’re right – I’m in marketing myself, and I can see this being the Japanese poster. But the American one doesn’t look authentic at all. Not to mention the Dragonball and clouds look like clip art.

    I really preferred the DBZ teaser poster from years back.

    This pic is fake. I know someone on youtube who claims he’s made this pic. And e had that pic posted before it was posted on this site.

  49. April 28th, 2008 at 15:28 | #49

    It’s hard to take someone seriously with no name
