Weekly Young Jump Scan
Someone who wishes to remain anonymous sent us a scan from Weekly Young Jump in high quality. There might be more to come…
Amanz points out that the Goku and Bulma photos on the bottom of the page look like they are from a poster.
We’ve also got a translation!
The world wide masterpiece that Japan can be proud of finally will make into a Hollywood movie! Many of our readers are the Dragonball generation, so we will introduce you new information in series toward the upcoming movie release in 2009 !
(a caption of Goku picture)
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.

it would be sweet to have atleast a flashback to were gohan found goku with his tail, it would be sweet if people in new zealand could enter the contest aswell, i want to buy a justin chatwin goku action figure, i wonder if theyll put him on roids like they did with the brendan routh superman one
“Whoever “Pff†is on JP’s site, please stop. There is always going to be people who don’t like you, and I would like to move on. I’ve been sick in bed and all I need is to start a flame war.”
Thank you.
Adam has been sick and I’ve been stressed and I think we let it get the better of ourselves (at least I have). I think we both said some things we shouldn’t have, and I certainly apologize.
But Adam and I seem to have worked things out now. . .
Anyone knows about the soundtrack?
I think Damon Albarn (Blur, TGTBATQ, Gorillaz) would make a nice soundtrack. He made it for a Chinese play “Monkey: Journey To the West”
@DPA: Brian Tyler (Children of Dune, Constantine, Rambo) is doing the soundtrack. Search the site for “brian tyler.”
Goku = NOT scrawny emo kid
Justin Chatwin = scrawny emo kid
Goku = NOT Justin Chatwin
i really think they should have a few cast changes. James Marsters will do good, i think… but not Chatwin… srsly..
ok kouji, go ahead and send your comment to the makers of the film so they can scrap the whole movie and start all over again, i mean, you do know theyre done shooting right.. then they can cast some buff ass dude to your liking to play an 18 year old kid.. and then they can just have him with no shirt on through the whole movie, how bout that. you do know that if they did follow the anime exactly then goku would be some little elementary school kid played by the freaking fat kid from Two and a Half Men or some shit like that, but then that would suck and even more complaining. what do people want! nothings ever good enough, why is stuff like this still being said, why am i even responding to it.. maybe im the idiot for responding to idiots, ya thats it, god, im just in a loss….
sorry adam, they got me cussin on here now, thats just unprofessional, but sometimes i just want to headbutt the screen with all this crap you know… anyways, my fault man.
lol Jake is cool!!!!
He just made a really good point you guys! He said….
“ok kouji, go ahead and send your comment to the makers of the film so they can scrap the whole movie and start all over again, i mean, you do know theyre done shooting right.. then they can cast some buff ass dude to your liking to play an 18 year old kid..”
Are you guys serious? He looks NOTHING like Goku. I mean, you’re all praising his hair, when all it is, is a SECTIONED FAUXHAWK! I’m not trying to flame or anything, but I seriously wouldn’t get my expectations up. I’ve been waiting for a DB movie, but I’ve come to learn that pretty much any childhood love is bastardized in the hands of Hollywood, save for the few gems like Transformers and the Spider-Man films. Don’t get me wrong, I’m gonna go see this the day it comes out, but I’m gonna try not to disappoint myself.
hey yo adam, just found the complete poster of the goku and bulma one. could be fake but i doubt it, it looks really good. check it out here
http://dragonballfilm.superforo.net/pelicula-de-dragonball-f6/poster-internacional-t184.htm
here, on DBLive, we can see a picture of piccolo, dunno if its fake or not, but it seems like the source is pretty good. So piccolo should be like this mask: http://www.dragonball-live.fr/
only avaible in french for the moment, probably soon in english
heres the link, english version http://www.dragonball-live.fr/en/
just go to the top of the page martin and click the UK flag and it goes to english. anyways i doubt thats piccolo, it looks more like something one of the henchmen they’re supposed to be having in the movie. but who knows, that site is pretty credible, but the pic just might be fake
@Adam: Well, maybe Albarn could make an original song. Maybe Radiohead.
I don´t wanna listen maroon 5 ending the movie.
Yeah I deleted that post because it looked fake but updated this post. What do you think?
they just made an update on the link i gave you, higher res poster check it out
The complete poster is a fake… I’m almost sure.
The full poster look so real but also so fake. Think its fake because if u look at the full poster and the poster where he is looking at the dragon ball his arms and everything are positioned EXACTLY the same. If u don’t believe me than look at his fingers in both pics. There exactly the same in both of them. Its a very cool looking poster and can fool anyone but the similarites are too great. Whoever didthat must be pretty professional to create the rest of bulma outfit tho.
Yeah sorry I just woke up, thought it was real for a second.
its 100% fake
its elements of the WYJ scan pasted and blurred together
and it has the wrong release date.
What do you think though? Would you mind if it was real?
The poster looks pretty good, but I’m almost sure it’s fake. Anyone notice the date? The idiot who took the time to make this put 5-8-9 instead of 4-8-9
its fake
At first glance at the poster, it didnt look too bad, but then I enlarged the pic and the more I looked at, the more it looked fake and too similar to pic of Goku by himself… and the date wrong lol
@zanny: Yeah I deleted it. I just woke up and didn’t take the time to look at it.
I just spent the last hour reading these posts. wow..I can’t wait for the Movie.
u guys really have to keep in mind that this movie is called “dragonball” not Dragonball Z or GT. I think you people are getting too hung up on looks at not the storyline. This movie is going to be about how Goku had his coming of age leading up to the Z saga. He’s not aware of his saiyan heritage and who he really is in the movie so therefore he’s not going to be as badass as you all want him to be. Wait for the sequel at at least…geesh!!
Steve Mason of Fantasy Mogul take Narnia’s less than expected gross
“My sources have suggested a number of possible reasons for Narnia 2’s disappointing start. Although reviews have been generally positive, many critics mentioned that the film is darker than the original and has some extended battle sequences. Also, the faith-based marketing that drove The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe to its huge opening number seemed to get less traction this time around. Some churches have backed-off on participation in movie marketing because their congregations have become resentful of being overtly “used†to drive ticket sales.”

@MIKE: Narnia sucks anyway dude, why post a link for someone else to say it sucks? We all know it sucks, just let it kep sucking
@Andrew:
I gotta agree with u there. Ppl focus too much on looks alone and forget about everything else.
i dont think we would see ozaru.
@Vendetta: What’s ozaru?
@Sean: I think he means Oozaru you know the giant ape!
it look like dragonball the magic begins but white a white guy.
if japan did not make a dragonball live action what make you that 20th Century Fox is going to do a good job?
they already made a live action dragonball movie unofficial Chinese live-action remake of the first Dragon Ball feature film The Legend of Shenlong (known as Curse of the Blood Rubies in the English version), done in 1989. The plot revolves around a rag-tag group of heroes, led by Goku or “Monkey Boyâ€, trying to stop an evil king named King Horn from using the Dragon Pearls to rule the world.

See kids 20th Century Fox thinks dragonball is power ranger.
here a video link how the movie look like

the link that someone posted saying its picture of piccolo
http://www.dragonball-live.fr/en/
well i reckon its a picture of ernie hudson in namakian from
kami maybe
ill go on the record to saying darking duck is an idiot. that is all.
im gonna go ahead and agree with you 100% on that one josh1122
Yes, he is an idiot…
agreed
BAN the duck.
Thanks for the find Pffff, but that poster is totally fake dude. They use way to much burn and blur effect on Adobe photoshop Cs2. You can tell by looking at Emmy Rossum neck. They also used way to much smear to blend it in together. Also you can tell by looking at the lower half of there body it’s fake. They used way to much burn tool. Plus why is the Dragonball pink? That poster is totally not from Fox. Plus check out the font you guys!! All they did was make the font larger from the other poster. The more blur you use on Adobe the more you take out the details of the picture.
@darkwing duck: I have to admit Darkwing, you just made one of the dumbiest comments I read so far. You must never seen the magic begins? Plus why should we trust your judgement? This is coming from someone who still watches Darkwing duck. Don’t get me wrong Darkwing is a classic, but it doesn’t compare to Dragonball. Dragonball is going to be alwsome dude!! Just watch!!!!
@darkwing duck: eeemmm… how about 100 million reasons??

DRAGONBALL 4 LIFE
if it`s a real movie…it must be the best movie in ths century…..i will garenty on that….
rely crazy off dragon ball………..since i was a kid….
Great pics! anyways, I dont think Master Roshi will look like what they have put on the poster. If you look closely you will see that the images are of different quality, i.e. using different filters… goku and bulma have that movie filter cleanly done kinda finesse to them, the master roshi pic looks more like a set pic or something… so im pertty sure thats not how master roshi will look
@McKlyde:
