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 PART

When 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.

James Marsters was at Creation Entertainment’s Grand Slam XVI Sci-Fi Summet this weekend, where he shared some details on Dragonball.

Unfortunately there isn’t a full report on his visit yet, but I’ve managed to find some random bits of Dragonball news he revealed during his Q&A.

I asked him if he liked Durango and he said the place was amazing and that he enjoyed the scenery and the way light was reflected on it. He also talked about some rock formations and how much [he got his] ass kicked while filming. He said later on that he did his own stunts so I think he was talking about it.

James talked about Dragonball. His First makeup job took 17 hours and was very painful, his suit was tight and so hard to breathe in. They couldn’t use a stunt man for a lot of the scenes because he didn’t look right. The stunt man didn’t look right because of the extensive make-up used on James, but not as good for the stuntman. Sounds like he had fun though, and is proud of himself.

He did many stunt scenes, James did all these jumping scenes off of 30 foot cliffs… and more.

He had to sit down for a few songs, because he says that Goku kicked his ass then Superman kicked his ass again, so he’s got some nerve problems in his hands, but not to worry, it’s nothing that a chiropractor can’t fix.

More news from fans at the convention:

-They wanted Piccolo to be more beautiful than he wanted to be. The character was in prison for 2000 years, so he should be old, ugly and decrepit. But they went for makeup that was safer and more young and beautiful, so he went to the makeup guy and said, hey, we can add back with paint what they removed from the sculpt because the producers aren’t here, and the director was fighting the same fight, so they made him older again.

-They have changed a few things in Dragonball, but the script reflects the heart of it. So much of Dragonball is about power and unrepentant violence. So much of it relies on post production. He’s in so much trouble – 20th century told him not to talk about it. Oh, but he’s not telling anything about the plot, he’s just saying his experiences as an actor, so they can’t sue him, right?

SFX will be accepting your questions to ask James Marsters:

The Fannish Inquisition is back, and this time we’re giving you the chance to put your questions to James Marsters.

He’s best known for playing punkish vampire Spike in Buffy and Angel, but hanging up his fangs hasn’t meant the end of his SF and fantasy career. He’s also played Brainiac in Smallville, voiced Lex Luthor in the Superman: Doomsday cartoon and, most recently, proved more than a match for Jack Harkness as rogue-ish Time Agent Captain John Hart. Then there’s his appearance in next year’s Dragonball movie and his music career – all in all plenty to talk about…

So if you want to know whether he’d ever play Spike again, if he’ll be returning to Torchwood, or just want to ask who’d win in a scrap between Spike and Captain John, send us your questions and we’ll put them to him. Ask away. You can leave your questions in the comment thread on our website here (no registration required), on the forum, or via email to sfx@futurenet.co.uk. We’ll put it all together and ask the man himself on your behalf.

James will be appearing at The Rift, a Torchwood event in London on Saturday 26 April. He’ll be joined by stars Eve Myles and Gareth David-Lloyd, writers Chris Chibnall, James Moran and Cath Tregenna, and producer Richard Stokes. For more info, click here.

Dragonball Film has exciting new details on the aesthetics of Piccolo, as revealed by the make-up artist Ed French! Ed also posted our first look at Piccolo’s costume on his official website, which you can see below!

Edward French, the special makeup effects artist of the Dragonball Movie (please visit his website here), has very very kindly accepted to answer to my questions…Thank you!

” I can say that it was a 4 hour make-up job that I applied many times over a month and a half, and that James Marsters was a very pleasant and professional actor to work with. In fact, I enjoyed working with him more than any actor I’ve applied prosthetic make-up to. He was very patient and enthusastic about playing the role and I admired his work.

[...] Publicity pictures were taken for advertising and i’m sure they will release them soon.”

Thanks again for the answer…and the picture!

Thanks to craigdbfan for this exciting tidbit of news:

“I just got back from filming Dragonball, so I’m healing from that. I’m going back to do Smallville next week and think I’ll be doing Torchwood again before too long. Then resting, and basically working out – Dragonball is all about muscles and I can’t be doing the press tour for it without muscles. I gotta pump my pecs. Girls like boobs too, you know.”
