Jump SQ’s July Set Report Part 2

We have received more information regarding the manga-fied set visit released in the July issue of Jump Square magazine.

First, Anime News Network revealed the author of the manga.

Akiba ZaijÅ« is Jump Square’s monthly column drawn by manga artist Daisuke Kadokuni. Kadokuni usually profiles a different aspect of Tokyo’s Akihabara Otaku shopping district every month, but took a press tour of Dragonball movie’s production for his July issue installment.

And secondly, my source in Japan translated the magazine article that came along with the images.

The manga’s author and his company (magazine editor) went to the hotel Gobernador to stay, and there was a cowboy-like man who put on a cowboy hat and shouted “Dragonball ! ” like that. The author didn’t know who he was.

The next day, they went to the movie set (formerly a jeans factory) by bus. There were many crew constructing the set, making tiles for the floor using cement. Producer Tim Van Rellim greeted them and introduced the set. They found Bluma’s three-wheeler bike.

This was very excellent and [they actually saw it] driving. Then they went to the Dojo set. There were burn marks on the wall, and there were weapons (swords etc.) made of metal, and they were very heavy. They then went outside, and saw the dragonball sphere, dragon radar and the power pole. When the author pushed the button of the dragon radar it was almost broken by him.

Next they went to Piccolo’s room. [It was] a very futuristic feeling. Tim [Van Rellim] sat down in the chair, and he said that Piccolo would sit here and using his powers he would create monsters.

They left the set, went to the Durango governor’s house for the banquet party, and there was the cowboy man again. The author asked his company, “That cowboy man is the same man we met at the hotel, does he do an acrobatic show riding the horses?” (there were horses). His company said “What are you talking about? is that a Mexican joke? He is Justin Chatwin, he plays Goku.” He was surprised. He didn’t think he stayed at the same hotel. Then he remembered that he saw a man that resembled James Marsters, was it him? But he didn’t ask.

Next day he and his company wore Goku’s cosplay Gi brought from Japan and went to the set again. When they were walking in the set, suddenly a tall man appeared, he was Chow Yun-Fat. He said “How are you? Kawaii nee(You are pretty)” and shaked hands with him. He was very impressed. He was very happy to go to Mexico and see Chow Yun-fat. He also saw Emmy Rossum too. She said “Daisuki” (I love you) and he freezed with joy.

And finally, Justin Chatwin wearing Goku’s Gi appeared with the wind. It was a Hollywood version cosplay so to speak, but its perfection level was far more high than a normal cosplayers. He was the real Goku. The next issue they will interview him and reveal the outfit.

He also informed us that Eddie Yang (Ironman, Narnia 2, Batman) from Ironhead Studios (X-Men 2, Hellboy 2) was involved in the movie as a character designer.

    @SSj Jon: Hey, I had a dream about 5 years ago when the rumors started spreading around that there was going to be a live action DragonBall Z movie. In the dream I had just woken up on the couch, and I can’t remember exactly who it was that came in, but there were two of them, and one was a tall guy, and then he took off his jacket and told me that the movie sucked :cry:
    The End, I hope that’s not the case…

I was at this convention, n james wong was there i said hi to him n he didnt say a word to me. then i saw justin chatwin and jamie chung hangin together. n for some reason justin chatwin had blonde hair but the same goku hair style. i started talkin to him n all n he seemed pretty cool. i asked him bout the acting n all that bout the movie n he said it was great. but then he told me not to go to see the movie becuz it wasnt goin to be good…. i hope that my dream is wrong i hope that the movie will be great!!

    @chrisH: O.O Thats just strange! lmao!

  21. June 20th, 2008 at 13:08 | #21

    @chrisH: Dreams?!?!?

    Man, I had a wired-ass dream last night. This site have some many videos of the DB live-action movie. Like clips and interviews and stuff. Then, I hear Adam voice doing a subways T.V ad’s saying its good and talking about Dragonball at the same time….My dreams are very “RANDOM”, I don’t really stick in one spot. Is this the future?…or I in the mode for subways?

  22. June 20th, 2008 at 13:15 | #22

    @kinglame: Wait!! I also remember Justin ( Goku ) And Chow-young Fat ( Master Roshi ) doing something together…Fighting?!? I don’t know. But this is not the first time this happened…I think 3 months ago, I dreamt that I reviewed the movie and saying it was good…Odd?

  23. June 20th, 2008 at 13:28 | #23

    kinglame: lol, my dreams are random too. I have faith in this movie! the only thing that bothers me now is the idea that goku might ride on a horse! :?

  28. June 20th, 2008 at 15:13 | #28

    there are still alot of unkowns about this film but its safe to say one thing will happen for sure.there will be at least one outragously chessy line like in every big budget movie.

    transformers:”im never giving you this all spark”

    live free or die hard:”thats gonna wake the neighbors”

    my guess for dragonball is goku yelling “im not gonna let you do this” or piccolo saying “i will destroy you”

    any other guesses?

  33. June 20th, 2008 at 19:38 | #33

    Hmmmm…is the “i’m not gonna let you do this” the same as the “I won’t let you get away with this” that he shouted before he turned Super Saiyan? Cause that was pretty cool.
