James Marsters Total Sci-Fi Interview
James Marsters (Piccolo) was recently interviewed by Total Sci-Fi, where he briefly mentioned his work on Dragonball. Thanks to Karen for the link.
How was it filming Dragonball in the extensive Piccolo make-up?
The first time we did the make-up, it took 17 hours, so four hours seemed like nothing. My costume looked great, but I couldn’t breathe in it.
Any surprises in doing a big budget movie?
I suspect it’s going to turn out really well, but so much is done in post-production, it’s difficult to gauge. In Durango, they wanted Piccolo to be more beautiful, and I wanted him to be old, decrepit and ugly. There are no mirrors in prison. [The character has been in prison for two thousand years.]
The character started out looking young and beautiful. I went to the make-up artist and said, ‘The producers want the character to be beautiful, but the producers ain’t here. And we’re going to put back with paint what they took away with the sculpt [prosthetics make-up].’ The director agreed with me. I would rather have been fired than mess up Piccolo.
Will fans of the Dragonball and Dragonball Z series like the movie?
There have been some changes, but it’s true to the heart of Dragonball.
@Daphné: Hum. That Could Be Real.
@Daphné: i think thats real
Can SOMEBODY please tell me when they will be giving us a new podcast on here?
@Scott: Soon.
Notice: A few of your comments were deleted since we recently changed servers.
God bless this man. James is going to be an amazing Piccolo, I knew that one from the start.
LMAO! the balls are Inert…i hadnt seen that yet, thats awesome, thank you!
Hey Adam why did you delete my comments?
That thing looks interesting, it COULD be real. COULD.
@KidVegeta: I didn’t. We changed servers.
I realized that it is point less to talk reason into to the haters, I got into a debate with that guy on youtube who is protesting this movie, I saw that it was a point less cause, he had made made up his mind that this movie is bad not to mention he says I’m not a fan for supporting this movie.
@Lord Jaric: It’s never pointless to talk to the hatters Jaric
You have to prove them wrong!! A wise man once said….
“I didn’t!!!! We changed servers”
May he rest in peace

We miss you Adam
May the force be with you my young Namekian brother….
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: As soon as I get the server working, I have a special treat for everyone.
A new exclusive post!
“I have a special treat for everyone”
For real?? Yippy!! I can’t wait to see it >>>>
This site freakin’ rocks!!
Adam reminds me of James Marsters….
He knows what the fans want to hear.
Democracy rules!!!!
I have another question for James
Is Piccolo a democrat or a republican????
When will we recieve this new post?
New Post…that sounds very interesting
cant wait! hehe..
I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for everyone that has to waste their lives shooting this miserable failure of a film.
Having to spend 17 hours in makeup just for a film destined to blow and suck like an intergalactic vacuum cleaner, is 17 hours of life wasted.
It’s a shame. Really just a total shame. I doubt if he or anyone else in this film will be able to so much as get a job at McDonald’s after this stinkbomb hits the theaters like a putrid burlap sack of crap tossed out of a helicopter.
Np Adam, I didnt know about the server switch.
Keep up the good work, for me personally this website owns every Db website outhere!
Meesage to Karma: Dw son after you see this movie you ll regret eva sayin shit about it.
OMFG Another DB hater that needs to be thought a lesson
@Karma: So I have to ask, are you a Fan of Dragonball or someone lost in their own world thinking that we care about what you have to say?
I laugh when the film comes out and it is soo much more amazing then you thought it would be. Because, by then, I guarantee you will see it. Then we can say we told ya so.
@KidVegeta: Thanks.
