    @josh
    i guess that u r right but this movie is losing hope to all fans and to tell u the truth i was very dissapointed for the huge damn changes they made like not having krillin and goku goes to school and other stuff my point is that it looks like its gona suck i am still gona watch it cuz i am a fan and all but still i hope that the movie is good and the trailer looks cool

    and if fox is the one that brought the idea of the damn movie than y do we need to give the trailer and show the movie to japan first i know that they made the cartoon but still wat the hell?

    all the other movies that r in release of 2009 they either have videos or the trailer came out y r the y being slow about dragonball fox is already done with the trailer y not release it everyone is whining and asking about it

    @dragonsoul2
    yea but i dont want goku to look all whimpy and corny looking i want him to look good and accualy give people attention
    wat i think is that fox has made a bad choice of releasing the movie now they should have done it at the year 2002 cuz now the fans died out and nobodys gona watch it maybe idk
    :oops:

    Dammit!!! Where the hell is the teaser trailer? If they’re “sitting” on it then there better be a good reason why :x

  8. July 24th, 2008 at 23:03 | #8

    Just came back from seeing the X-files, no trailer :(

    I can almost say for certain it will be shown with babylon ad. Not to mention James Marsters is going to Dragon Con the same day babylon ad comes out as a special guest…there’s no doubt in my mind a trailer will be revealed that day.

    July 24th, 2008 at 23:31 | #10

    Yeah, so if any definite date, my guess would be August 29th. I’m…51% sure.

  11. July 24th, 2008 at 23:48 | #11

    It’s not just a comment section J!! IT’S DRAGON :wink: BALL

    We all want a trailer!!!!
    We want to see Goku in action, but most of all we want to see James Marster as King Piccolo….

    I’ve been waiting for this trailer for almost a year and so have you

    this is a torture man,, and knowing its been done for a few months is even more torturing,,, i just hope whenever its released it blows everyone´s mind away, and shuts up all the haters
    maybe they are still editing it after music was done, making sure its the best they can do it, if thats the case then i think its great and i could even wait a few more months, because the trailer will probably be the biggest factor to whether this movie does good or not at the box office

  13. J
    July 24th, 2008 at 23:53 | #13

    I know, and we probably only have a little more than a month to go. I just find it interesting Fox has held it back this long, so long that they’re even showing trailers for movies that don’t come out until after DB comes out. Weird…really weird.

  14. July 25th, 2008 at 01:53 | #14

    August 29th? Thats far too long. :evil:

    And to people who wont go see the movie if they dont like the trailer – I think every real fan is going to see this movie (or should anyway) because its still Dragonball. And even if they HATE the trailer they might actually like the movie. So dont not go and see it just because you dont like the trailer :?

    OMG have you egg heads Forgotton About JAPAN!!???? they will get The Teaser First!!…FIRST!!!…First!!!!! Dark Knight has already been Screened Here, But!! not in Japan! so there still a possibility that we might see one soon when they get it hopefully,

  17. July 25th, 2008 at 08:24 | #17

    Target Audience is Different the Film is Going to Be PG, Its on IMDB, Check it out! PG PG PG oh My Fuking God!

    don’t they usually make a teaser trailer and release it half a year from the actual movie (fox doesn’t)

    July 25th, 2008 at 10:19 | #21

    although i believe in the dragonball movie i should state 2 points that shown that this movie is gonna fail
    1)films with eastern origins aren t very popural now( check the promise,
    flying daggers, speed racer)
    2)dragonball storyline isn t just like american heroes storyline(x-men,
    spiderman, ironman, hulk). Dragonball storyline is more complicated
    while american comic heroes features villain of the week.
    Think about those to statements.

  22. July 25th, 2008 at 10:26 | #22

    Dragonball will do fine, gow.

    July 25th, 2008 at 10:29 | #23

    @moin:

    Is there another source that confirms that the film will be PG?

    There was a guy who worked for the film who said that the ideal thing for this movie would be Pg-13, why would they make it Pg?

    fuck this movie….I’m ignoring it’s existence i’m tired of being patient…..goodluck Adam…

    July 25th, 2008 at 10:49 | #25

    @kaypain: good luck with that,, believe me, i´ve tried so the wait would be less painful,,, and still here i am :p

    it was stated in a magazine that the target would be kids,, but i hardly believe that, seeing james wong is the director and that they kept pervy roshi, its very likely to be pg13
    star wars movies were pg and were awesome, so even if it ends up pg i´ll still have hopes for a great movie

    Hmm…
    The scan say’s;
    “STORY:
    Goku follows his late grandfather’s will, and finds Master Roshi to go on a journey to collect the 7 Dragon Balls.
    Their aim is to use the Dragon Balls to prevent Piccolo’s ambition of world domination.
    They meet Bulma, who joins the party, and continues the journey depending on the dragon radar she possessed….”

    I’m sick and under the weather right now. I think what would make me totally feel better is if Fox does some Dragon Ball promotion. 8)

  30. July 25th, 2008 at 11:28 | #30

    The new Harry Potter movie trailer comes out next tuesday and that movie comes out in 4 Months!

    Lets hope we wont have to wait that long for a Dragonball trailer… Although im sure we wont 8)

    July 25th, 2008 at 11:52 | #31

    @kaypain: LOL same here man. I’m throwing down the cards for now but I’ll be back later when there’s a trailer or something.

  32. nanjirou
    July 25th, 2008 at 11:57 | #32

    @Scott: thats true, probably because harry potter doesn´t need promotion
    hopefully thats the reason why fox hasn´t started promotion with dragonball in the rest of the world, maybe they have so much faith in it that they think it doesnt need as much promotion as the other movies they already started to promote 8)

    July 25th, 2008 at 12:12 | #33

    Some friend of mine is pissing me off saying this movie could be very bad that is why they aren’t showing any footage. I no longer will talk to him. :evil:

  34. Grimmy Grinning Ghost
    July 25th, 2008 at 12:15 | #34

    @nanjirou: I doubt that lol. Not to be a hater or anything (I obviously haven’t seen the movie), but I noticed movie studios, for movies that are risky (not a proven money-maker franchise movie), or movies that they know will blow at the box office… they tend to keep it underwraps until it’s just about time for the movie to come out.

    That way no blogs or anyone can get ahold of what it’s really like, and will only have the strategically marketed trailer to go off of, a month or two before the thing actually comes out. Gets the unknowing asses in the seats at least.

    Imagine if some DB footage was show at Comic-Con, almost a year before it actually comes to theaters, and the crowd reaction was very negative. That would be bad business right there for Fox. They’ll probably hold this thing for a while yet.

    DB seems like a rushed production, kinda like an afterthought franchise-in-the-making. It only got green lit cause of the writers strike anyway, so I’m not expecting it to be on par with the quality of the American comic book adaptations…. I HOPE it will be, but I have my doubts. I know I should wait for some footage to go off of, but all the facts I’ve heard so far about the production have me worried and not so hopeful…

    Awesome pics! Also, seems like FOX is making some other anime movies, like Cowboy Bebop!

  36. July 25th, 2008 at 15:48 | #36

    Another days gone and no more news, Theres always tomorrow! :-)

  37. nanjirou
    July 25th, 2008 at 15:59 | #37

    @Grimmy Grinning Ghost: i used to think this movie was rushed too, but it wasn´t.. chatwin was cast in march, they started shooting in december 2007, and they´ve been writing and re-writing the script for years, shooting took about 3-4 months, which is normal, and it has nearly a year for post production
    anyway, i agree with you it would be a bad move to show the trailer now if they aren´t sure its gonna blow everyone´s mind away, but the dragonball fanbase is so huge worldwide that they know they´ll make their money back, i wouldn´t think they are worried about that

    July 25th, 2008 at 16:30 | #38

    i wonder if they are ever gonna have krillin if they make a sequel

    Yo Adam, i had posted earlier about Dragon Con with James Marsters.

    Im just making sure if that info is true, how much do u know about it dude?

    Hopefully James can talk more about the movie than in previous instances.

    Soo excited for that!

    P.S, keep up the good work wid the site. All the other Dragonball sites banners FAILLL compared to this one.

    Does anyone here ever think? You guys here are all asking for a trailer. Remember, Fox signed a contract that says Japan gets to promote before we do. Meaning…if the trailer has been done for that long, then don’t blame Fox. It’s Japans fault there hasn’t been a trailer, because they obviousilly have it and haven’t released it yet. Trust me, If Fox could show it at Comic-Con, they would. They aren’t allowed to show any footage or american promotion until Japan has released it first. We are waiting on Promoters in Japan, not 20th Century Fox’s fault. Or atleast, not the american ones.

    July 25th, 2008 at 20:40 | #42

    this bullshit!!! I will seriously burn down Fox….if they don’t stop with the bull shit and stop acting like little punks and release the goddamn trailer….hell even Transformers 2 released their logo…and they aren’t even finished filming yet..

    Its funny because I think fox is trying to piss us off.

  46. July 25th, 2008 at 23:16 | #46

    If the trailer has been done for a while, then why hasn’t Japan release it yet.

  47. Meegz
    July 25th, 2008 at 23:40 | #47

    You guys are so funny! Its like you guys havent seen the Orange Gi, for this movie before. Remember the picture og Justin Chatwin’s double is wearing am Orange Gi, and that picture is been for a couple of months now. Hehehehehe wake up people! :mrgreen:

    July 26th, 2008 at 00:05 | #48

    @Lord Jaric: Good question. Thats who we are waiting on.

  49. July 26th, 2008 at 00:15 | #49

    there hasent been a trailer yet cause it would be sooooo SUPER SICK that we wouldnt know how to take the wait of over half a year and go crazy!

  50. dragonsoul2
    July 26th, 2008 at 02:17 | #50

    @Meegz: Yeah, but that was hardly a good picture. And you couldn’t see the back of it like in this one, the Roshi symbol really makes this pic. And it’s actually exciting to see Justin Chatwin in the gi himself since he is Goku.
