James Marsters Total Sci-Fi Interview

James MarstersJames 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.

    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 :)

    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.

    @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.
