Jump SQ’s August Set Report
Remember Jump Square’s manga set report last month? Well, here’s the thrilling conclusion to it in this month’s Jump Square magazine. A lot is revealed in these translations, and I had a lot of fun reading it.
Justin Chatwin (Goku) appeared in front of them. Goku had blue eyes. The author of this manga (Akiba Zaijuu) felt Justin has a boyish nature, as well as Goku. He was wearing the blue gi, not orange. Justin said “My gi with Kame mark (orange gi) is still in the making. I’m looking forward to see how it will be made. I hope it will become what you all like.” The author remembered he saw and talk with Mayes Rubeo (costume designer) before. She said “I kept trying for the children of the little village I grew up won’t be disappointed with it. I made more than thirty prototypes for only Goku’s gi.” She seemed to be ambitious and having fun, so he felt she sure can make a good costume. And about Justin, his blue gi was cool, but not only the costume design, but his buffed up muscle enhanced his look. Because he has been training for seven months for Goku’s role. The author remembered Goku also have trained for eight months under Master Roshi when Goku was a child in the original. Coincidence?
When the Japanese magazine press interviewed Justin, suddenly the tank top man came into the room. He shouted “Omochi!(rice cake)” in Japanese. He tried to eat Kusa-dango of Asakusa Tokyo (it was souvenir from Japan) there but he accidentally dropped it on the ground and it got dirty with sand. But he didn’t care, he picked it up and ate it. He was a very wild man. The author wondered who he was.
Next Emmy Rossum’s interview. She said her active and cheerful character resembled Bulma. She’s a brilliant young actress and also a good singer. Bulma’s hair is not all blue, but have blue streaks. Make-up artist Mr. Gomez told us the reason that all blue hair is too strong as a live-action, so he was requested not to do that. So he proposed sixteen hairstyle and make-up designs which kept the image of the original, but they were all turned down. After that time he came up with the present hairstyle and make-up. Emmy said, “Did you look at the three-wheeled motorcycle? There are two same motorcycles and they promise I will get one of them after the filming. Other one may be gotten by someone here!” they asked her what her favorite Mexican food was and she said “Gorditas! I like Gorditas.”
Then they interviewed Joon Park, he was [the] wild tank top man before. He resembled an early Yamcha very well, especially eyebrows and eyes. His cheerful character imparted a upbeat atmosphere there. He said, “I wanted to get any small part, I got to audition, and I got the role of Yamcha. I have Japanese friends and I asked him to send the video of Dragonball and I watched them over and over again. But I realized Yamcha didn’t appear in them a lot. Where is Yamcha? looking for him in the video, I studied him.” The author also thought certainly that Yamcha’s appearance is few in the original, and he wondered whether Puar (Yamcha’s pet cat) appeared or not. He asked his company editor, but the editor said “Who cares?” and the author didn’t really care either. Joon also said he collected toy figures made of metal like Mazinger Z.
Next, they interviewed Jamie Chung. She is a crisp girl, her face was expressive, like as a small animal, her lower lip and twinkling almond eyes were adorable. Press men got hot immediately. She resembled kid Chi-Chi rather than adult Chi-Chi. She said her type is a pretty boy.
Next they interviewed Chow Yun-Fat. He is different from the image of Master Roshi than in the original, but he surprisingly matched the lovable mischief and dirty old man perfectly. He said his favorite food is Japanese Ramen. He was very kind enough to take a photo with the author. He said, “I have never played such character, but I could play it happily and passionately.” The author looks forward to seeing him play Muten Roshi.
And James Marsters appeared at last. His cheek line looks just like Piccolo. he said “Were you wearing the Gold Jacket before? I passed you at the hotel didn’t I?” The man he saw at the hotel was James Marsters after all. James shouted, “I am Piccolo! Yes! I’m Picoolo, so I won’t let anyone play Piccolo!” He was full of spirit. His enthusiasm to the role came through intensely, he looked as if he was the real Piccolo for a moment to the author’s eyes. He thought this movie was worth seeing to see James Marsters as Piccolo by itself.

@JoseMP:
You think that is funny has anyone seen TeamFourStar’s Dragonball Z abridged videos, they are so hilarious check them out guys. Oh and I have really high hopes for the movies.
Thanks for posting this Adam! I used to think that Roshi might not be as much of a pervert as in the manga/anime, but I am happy to hear that he is pretty close to the source material (personality wise).
Also, I can’t wait to see a pic of Chatwin in the orange gi. He looks AWESOME in the blue gi.
But we need to see a trailer soon!
A little less than 8 months now…..can’t wait
Also, the haters are probably beginning to see how wrong they were about Chatwin.
I mean, he IS Goku. No doubt about it.
@Elizabeth:
Sorry about that, too stupid forgot to put link up, here it is:

oh and there is a second episode.
Nice new banner.
@chrisH: You know what that is so weird. I had a nightmare about watching it the other night. I am NOT kidding.
This is everything I like to hear from the actors of the Dragonball movie and more! Thanks for the news Adam, you’re the best! Also, I like the new banner.
@blaumann: No, that interview was taken before that photo was taken so what you see with Jackson is definitely the finalized version.

dragonsoul makes a strong point how can so many people say this movie is going to be awesome when all we’ve seen are a few pictures of unrecognizable characters kudos right back at ya
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10:
Nobody likes the new banner?
@pokechop79: there´s a lot of things that makes us think this will be awesome
the director is a fan of dragonball
main actors are incredibly passionate about their roles
brian tyler = guaranteed great music score
100 million dollars
to name a few
@Adam: i like it, but it just doesnt give much of a dragonball impression, maybe if the dragonball would be more recognizable in the logo it would look better, just my opinion
Wow..I justo saw the new Banner.
I like this one more tahn the old one
@nanjirou: @nanjirou: Did you notice Piccolo at the top?
@Adam:
It’s pretty cool
@Adam I didn’t notice picollo until you said it. I like the eclipse on the left but the rest isn’t as good to me.
I have to admit!!
Hey adam you changed it, why you put piccolo’s eye’s?? That don’t look right 
I think the new banner looks good, but it doesn’t look like dragonball
Fine I changed it back. Someone here is free to make their own and send it to me :p
We have sound!
i sent an email to the guy who posted the small clip his youtube user, dbfan765
Here is what he said:
Hi There,
Firstly, i dont know if the trailer is fake or real, but majority of db fans are saying its real, and i am going to go with them and say its real, i only received a small clip, i dont want to get in any trouble, so when i recieve the full which i dont think its going to happing any time sooner i’m afraid i cant send it to you or anyone also you have probably noticed there is no audio,….. i have reuploaded it many times but that didn’t solve the problem, so i have uploaded it somewhere else, basically sameclip but with sound! the clip was recorded by someone in japan, the teaser will be released with the Dark knight or x-files i think, just have to wait and see.
Enjoy the 3’sec’s clip

@moin: Well thanks, but until I see actual footage it’s fake….. It’s not hard to make that.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: I thought you would like it. And I didn’t make it, Tommy did.
@Adam: You can do it adam
Your the only one that knows how to keep that space feel to it…. Plus I like your signature Eclipse. If someone else makes the banner I hope they keep the signature….
@moin: Dude that’s fake!!
STARE AT THIS BEAUTY FOR A SEC

@pokechop79: Ummm…I think you may have misunderstood…I was in no way agreeing with the previous comment that you made. I was being sarcastic. I was saying you shouldn’t condemn the movie based on nothing. Sure, maybe it’s kinda wrong to say the movie is going to be awesome, but that’s called optimism, and it’s okay to have that when you’re waiting for a movie based on your favorite anime/manga to come out.
@moin: Very nice.
@moin: Haha, that’s pretty sweet looking.
@moin: Whoa that’s pretty cool!! Now im super hyped…. Wow!! The thought of owning “Dragonball” the movie on dvd gets me soooo freakin’ excited. I like how it said 150 minutes
@moin: dude thats friggin sweet! i want it to come out now soo i can own it! buuuttt we have to wait for a long while for that..
by the way, guys check out this. i think this video is hilarious! OWNED!!!

The Hollywood dude was trying to make me buy a magazine. I was looking at the English Jump magazine at the Dragonball article that you (Adam) posted quite a while back.
He was like “If your going to look at that you have to buy it” JERK!
YAYYY!! JC BUFFED UP (training fr 7 months is impressive)!!!!
and Yamcha seems to be doing just fine i bet hell do GREat AS Yamcha!!
What they said about Yun Fat and Marsters were just as satisfying! I CANT WAIT!!!
Saiyankid109-
you should have told him you want to see if that magazine is worth buying before you give him your money. then after you’ve looked at it, you stick it back on the shelf, turn to that guy and said ” i’m not giving you a dime of my money” then casually walked away.
Hey guys i hav read the ben ramsey script version of dragonball
it looks promising and good but it talks about lord piccolo all the way through the film and out of a 128 pages he only starts apears in
page 114. thats y i am glad that james wong has rewritten the script
because in the ben ramsey 1 the main villan is emperror pilaf
but in the james wong version the main villan is lord piccolo
