This is movie version Son Goku ! Goku, who is staring at a dragonball. What will he wish for with this mysterious gem?How will original manga of Mr.Toriyama be depicted as live-action? it is anticipated in the entire world.
What is Dragonball?
Though we think it is needless to explain it, we will review for the preparation of movie release. It is created by Akira Toriyama, was serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump from 1984. Strong and cheerful boy Son Goku and his adventure story captivated the readers quickly.Dragonball allways kept running on the top of the manga field. Unfortunately it ended its serialization in 1995. Its popularity is not only domestic but also other Asia, Europe and the United States, it is loved by people all over the world.
In the next hot news No.2, we will deliver you the report on the set around summer.

Chatwin looks amazing in that picture as Goku ( I’m really impressed with the hair) Emmy Rossum looks awesome as Bulma to. ( If you look closely in Bulma’s picture you can see that it was cut off from a bigger picture :: because you can see part of Justin Chatwins hair:: I think both Chatwin and Rossums picture are from a bigger poster). Great stuff Adam
dang, this look hella tight!!!! cant wait for the movie
woah!looks way better in color, i think he looks kickass as goku!! especially in the small pic. Hell yea!
i was thinking the same thing as you craig it does look like the 2 smaller pics were taken from one big one i even went as far as copy the scan and paste on paint and edit it to make them fit together and it looks like they’re back to back and looking at the camera!!
i guess great minds think alike!
WOW. I liked the other, non-color pic of Chatwin . . . but it really didn’t do his crazy hair justice, haha.
I mean, it’s . . . perfect! If nothing else in this film is perfect, the hair is! XD It’s THE closest thing you’ll ever get to a real-life Goku’s hair style. Seriously. In the leaked set photos, the hair looked way more normal and teen!Gohan-esque. But this scan of it is 100% Goku. Very recognizable.
And Craig is right — the two little pics of Goku and Bulma are definitely part of a poster. A poster which I am dying to see now. D:
Chatwin IS Goku. There’s no getting around it now. The dim witted goofy look on his face, oh so perfect. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
i lov the piture in coulor, but he bestoe isthe small pcture yuseof hatwin goku the ront fce justtere if you look at side of his face hair looks lik gokus a lot the spike
p.s my keybourd’ds fucked even if i type slow and press a butto it dosnt always type theletter and takes ages grrr)
Wow, awesome! Justin looks hot! Hair is great!
I also noticed that Emmy and Justin’s pics came from a bigger one- can’t wait to see it. They look somewhat like brother and sister =P
Interested to read the translation!
oh oh also i know you got he words translated on the grey one ut there is more words on this i wounder if any one knows a translted version imean can read it lol be awsoe to seewhat it says,
also looking at the mini pics it dose look like tere back together an uknow the volcano type set peace? looks like the back ground is like there in volcano typ couse of te lavr colour and if you look at rossiums pic and big goku energy ball behind him ucan see like lavar uknow when it spirts some up any one notice that? could be a bg poster ofthem standing in the vocano set peace just an idea
If any other anonymous tipsters want to send in news, my email is dbthemovie@gmail.com
I think that, in the bigger picture of Goku, the energy ball is instead one of the dragon ball.
Ps: sorry for the english
ok, i just looked close at roshishat its a man united hat from Uk lmao roshia a man-u fan lol any on e eles notice the logo on his hat?
@maximu: Yeah I see it, but that would just be a pic of Chow Yun-Fat, not in character.
true but somimes when we see set pictres and stuff and others ar in ther set clouthing hes wereing it and plus roshi did have hat o somtimes.
OMG Yes Chatwin is deffinantly Goku for sure, wicked pictures, I hope there is more to come then this in the future
Oh I’m new by the way

OHMYGOoDLORD THIS IS BY far the best movie update ever I’m gonna be so hyper tonight I can’t study dr exams anymore I love this so much goku looks so amazing the blast is amazing and bulma looks so pretty and the hue of these photos look absolutely fantastic ahhahahhhhaaaaassssssaaaaagsiftshjdsonmv!!!!!!!
i jsut relised this is the first of the pictures like this and thefilm comes out april next year so thersgunna be loads more maybe a piccolo soon
Actually, they shouldn’t put this as the first few released picture, GoKu should never looked that cool, he’s the most cheerful anime character ever!
Wow, the best picture update we’ve seen yet. Props to the guy who sent it in. Honestly I really like what they’ve done with Goku. I was one of the few people who said that I would let the directors do their thing and cast whos right..now the only thing left to hope for is a good story, good graphics, good martial arts, and good piccolo!
Looks better than the monotone scan. I’m feeling the hair more than before now.
Woowwwww!!!!


The color version looks 10x hotterrrrrrrrr
The energy ball looks simply amazing!! Defiantly cinematic for sure.
Justin Chatwin looks freakin’ amazing as Goku. Im so amazed of how much he looks like Goku. The hair looks real good in color and I loving the vibe of the color! Defiantly Dragonball for sure
Thanks FOx and to the person who sent this scan to Emperor Adam!! I can’t believe Dragonball is finally coming you guys
This is the kind of stuff I want to see!!
I can’t wait to see the American version of it at Border books magazine stands. It should totally rock!! This issue is going to be off the hook you guys!! Wow!!!! Chatwin is going to kick major a** as Goku.
Its..its….Go.Goku! This is gonna be the best movie eveeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
i cant wait for what corey said ut i british stands.
@Breasts are full: You’re right!… Kind of. In fact Goku is a character based off the true events of Chatwin’s life. This movie is actually a real-time documentary of what actually happended. So Chatwin isn’t Goku, Goku is actually Chatwin.
But seriously, I can’t believe an actual image has been released.
Sup guys. I’ve been visiting Adam’s awesome website for a while and decided to finally comment. You’ll be hearing a lot more from me. At first I thought the picture was disapointing, but now I’m glad to be proven wrong! Best news yet. Can you say . . . Over 9000 posts!!!1!
@SSJ Spartan: Thanks for the kind words and welcome.
Damn that’s awesome, I think Chatwin looks just like Goku
This movies gona fuckin rock…and would anyone care to Translate?
¿This confirmed? seems of a poster like the of Mummy or Indiana Jones.
@Pepekun: It looks like it.
Baddd asssnessss
hah
looks way better, the color tone is perfect and has a very dragonball feeling to it, like i said in my recent post’s i got the feeling that even without color the picture had its own unique feeling of dragonball.
But if you closely in the far right, looking down on goku’s back you will see a dragon
what could it be?!
looks kinda like a statue
lol
@Pepekun:
Yea….this is an Indiana Jones poster. Indiana’s son learns to control Ki…
@cody:
Yes, and also I think that the energy ball isn’t an energy ball, but one of the dragon balls (a dragon cave (?) , orange sparks , dimension of the ball…)
yeah i thought so too about the dragon ball, it does have a sphere dimension to it. buttttt it still looks to watery/clumpy and to top it off its floating..and ive never heard of dragon balls floating lol.
WOW WOW WOW. That looks amazing. When I first saw the poster I just analyzed the bigger one and then I saw the smaller one it looked jus like goku.
Man if ur not jus even a little optimistic at this point than ur not a DB fan. Omg I can’t wait for this movie..
@cody:
Yes, I know. But we have to think that this movie isn’t a copy/paste of the manga.
Maybe we’ll have floating dragon balls!
yea im leaving an open window for that to be true.
but i just dont see where the significance of floating dragon balls would be necessary in the film.
will see
I’m sure this will be a great movie when it comes out! Can’t wait.
By the way, I’m positive that James Masters will do wonders with Picollo. Spike, his character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Picollo are pretty similar in personality and start off as antagonists to both series’. Although, Picollo could clean Spike’s clock at any time.
awesome! Emmy looks absolutely gorgeous and Justin looks freakin sweet
I think piccolo is gonna add a real since of great to the entire movie.
and he will prolly be real eye candy too
hah
Goku! hes going to show you! hes gonna help you find the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
damn i think i dropped to corey’s level,well not that far but close, chatwin looks awesome,hair is perfect and rossum as bulma, spot on,even though id prefere all her hair to be blue, its ok. she looks hot as bulma lol. kinda looks like her in a way also.
dragonball you wont believe the magic in the seven balls!
i think im going to go watch the DB eps right, all this movie talk makes me want to rewatch the DB series from the beginning
and yeah in the cut off pic they’re standing back to back, i really want to see the full poster of them standing back to back. you can see chatwins and shirt and hair in the bulma picture lol
Sucks ASS! you guys are all NERDS! This movie’s Going to be GAY! As GAY as Bunbury and all of you GAY NERDS!!! And what the hell are you guys talking about standing back to back? It’s fu-ck_n obvious they’re standing back to back! Dumb Asses!
You guys believe whatever you want to believe, this movie is the second coming of Jean Claude Van Damme’s GAY ASS Street Fighter movie. And that’s That! GAY NERDS!
@Dong Puno: Say Gay enough? Come back when you grow up.
YES!! seeing this new image of him reveals the better view of his hair. nice!
Somebody pinch me! is this for real?!?! my dreams r coming true!! lol bout damn time this shit showed up! i always wanted to see how my favorite character of DB would look like in real life. GOKU ALL THE WAYYY!! DB FOR LIFE Y’ALL!! haha
n since bulma and goku are actually back to back in a larger poster…. now i want to see that larger poster!!
now since bulma and goku look so great for the movie, im dying to see piccolo!
lol @ Dong Puno, you call everbody gay when you come with a homo name like that,
so do we think that goku has an energy ball or a dragonball in this picture? Oh and Emi looks just like bulma its scary.
