Set Report From Fan

A member from DBMB who claims he “Wasinthemovie” recently revealed some information to them, which apparently comes straight from the set of Mexico City. Spoilers ahead.

This picture was during one of the few scenes I didn’t get into, I really wanted in these classroom scenes because they were all close ups but there was a lot of political crap going on with the extra casting people… anyway…

Goku with his classmates are looking at pictures of the moon which even a picture causes him to go into a trance and almost transforms him. Chatwin has to stare into the camera in this scene.

I was only on the set for the 6 days of Mexico City filming, I wasn’t chosen to go to Durango… more politics, so ya.

He also gave his opinion on the movie, which isn’t too good.

One of the first scenes we shot was Goku’s bike getting trashed by Texas Battles character “Carey Fuller’s” car. Chatwin says in an adolescent voice “Dude my Bike!”, to which Texas looks over at his friend and responds, “Did you just fart?”

So if that sounds like quality writing, then I guess it’ll be ok. Most of the dialog for the first 6 days follow this kind of teenage drivel…

I was lucky enough to be in the movie so I can only pray they didn’t cut me out of anything, I’m a huge fan so I am very grateful I was able to be in the film but from a critical fan’s point of view I’m going to hate at LEAST the opening scenes dialog, because I, and others, were cringing on set….


Wasinthemovie talked a bit about his experiences on the set of Dragonball in a DBMB podcast located here. Some of the “highlights” include:

  • Stunt doubles were used for most of Justin Chatwin’s fighting scenes.
  • Emmy Rossum, apparently, wasn’t nice on set.
  • Extras partied… a lot. Jackson Spidell (Justin Chatwin’s stunt double) talked a lot to the extras.
  • Justin Chatwin was a “pretty nice guy.”

    No no no. I hope those dialogues are fake. If that is the type of dialogue we will hear then I am going to be :x

    So the beginning should suck. Ahh man well hopefully it gets better. It would be pretty mean if Chatwin turns oozaru and we can probably see some z action going on.

    Well this sounds lame.

    /didn’t read it cuz I dont wont anything SPOILED. But from the sound of it this movie is going downhill :( I hope not!

  6. July 28th, 2008 at 12:35 | #6

    Oh Wait! Does this mean that there will be a Oozaru?!

    Also I’m pretty mad that the DB trailer is not up yet however the xmen origins w/ wolverine is up and it comes out in May 2009 (1 month after Dragonball).

    part 1 Xmen Wolverine Link

    part 2 Xmen Wolverine Link

  8. July 28th, 2008 at 12:39 | #8

    I was excited about Goku almost turning into Oozaru, that got me real excited when I read that, but the fart scene sounded really cheesy.

    mmm i´ll skip this one.. it looks like its a bad news,,, hopefully its fake though it seems it isnt.. anyway, if he was only in mexico city then he only was for the highschool stuff, which should be the worst part of the movie, so im still hoping for a great movie

    July 28th, 2008 at 13:02 | #14

    Seems accurate. Goku in highschool’s a big problem. and the teen-comedy tone could be even worse. That’s the same kind of thinking that killed street fighter the movie. I don’t think wong’s going to make it THAT bad but there’s little hope of this reaching at least stephen chow’s level of coolness. heh, the trailer will be the deciding factor at the end of the day. A lot of stuff is shot and then cut so all this might not even make it in.

    Guys yous should consider that they want to target young audiences… plus they kinda mixed Gohan and Goku’s story, so it does make sense. And if they adapted it was because they thought that otherwise the movie was going to be ‘crappy’. Try to imagine how a movie would look like if they made it 100% like the anime or the manga???? :?

    July 28th, 2008 at 13:21 | #17

    Damn, I hope that dialogue about the bike gets cut.
    For more info on that guy, read the thread where he answers questions on Dragonballmovieblog. Good read ;) . I was reading through it, and found an interesting response to a question.

    “Ya, it’s very teen comedy-esc… Was hard not to say something directly to James… There were a lot of things I felt were just them bowing to the mainstream whims, not looking to make this movie for the fans… but again this is only the first 30 or so minutes, perhaps they were starting it this way to show how unimportant his life had become before the arrival of another earth endangering villain.”

    Definitely good that we’re hearing about this movie from a fan/extra

  18. July 28th, 2008 at 13:23 | #18

    @That Dragonball Guy: Pretty disappointing but then again how many fakes have we gotten over the years? :cry:

    You can’t combine goku and gohan’s story. Goku’s supposed to be like tarzan meets superman. This sounds like they’re aping superman the movie and smallville. Possibly spiderman. A bunch of idiots in suits who’ve never read a comic or watched a cartoon in their lives trying to stick to a formula for success. It’s not about fucking formulas. IT’S ABOUT DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE. Don’t worry. I’ll make the real dragonball movie when I get rich.

  20. July 28th, 2008 at 13:45 | #20

    Please dont be crap, I’ll be very very angry if they mess this up.
    It should all be great. The beginning, middle, and end.
    I want to be able to love the movie completly, not just a few scenes in it.

    I dont know… it sounds like bullshit. Especially the “Teto” part. They should know better that the name isnt Teto but Weaver.

    A picture of the full moon causes him to go into trance and almost transforms him? Wtf?. If that part is real then I hope its not something ridiculous. I would underatand staring at the REAL FULL MOON (like in the anime), but from just a picture? :?

    I would say this guy is a fraud.

    I hate Fox that there is a trailer already from that BULLSHIT Movie X-men !!! Who wants to see the origins of Wolverine ??? thats sooo boring … and you can see in the trailer that is just a action movie .. with such a poor Story !!! How can Fox be sooo foolish … to bring the Trailer out befor Dragonball !!! And Dragonball comes in April ! One month before Wolverine … thats sick .. –

    They underastimate the Power of the DRAGONBALL FANS wold wide … especialy in the latin countries .. they will run into the cinemas for real … but of course .. only if they dont get a cheap adaptation … –

    I have hope still that we will get a good movie … but FOX doesnt make it easy i think to think that … –

    the same problem we had in Germany with RTL 2 … the wrong Channel for DBZ .. they CUT just everything .. untill it was death … –

    thats all so sad … –

    :oops: :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops:

    Damn, well it’s not like fart jokes weren’t all over dragonball to begin with but this doesn’t even sound the least bit funny. ggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh I can’t take it anymore! they can’t have ruined dragonball!!! NOooooooooooooo. *sniffle* tell me there’s hope! please!

    Ok yeah. That sounds kinda dumb, I will admit. However, since i’ve been doing nothing but hoping for the best with this film thus far, I’m going to keep hoping. I guess since Goku’s a teen, and in high school, and this is supposed to take place in a modern setting, that you may actually have little jokes like that every now and then. Look at Transformers, that movie had so many of those little jokes that would just pop up every two minutes, they probably looked dumb on paper too, but when put in the movie and performed in the atmosphere, they actually worked and fit the general dialectic tone of the movie. And in the end, what made that movie so good in my opinion was that it had a superb balance of comedy, action, and drama (same as Iron Man), so maybe this isn’t the end of the world.

    I hope this news is fake(although i dont think so)or else this is giving us a hint on how the rest of the movie was dealt with and i don’t like it.how they are screwing up gokus character(Dude my bike) is really anoying me. Litle hope left though :(

    @Titus: It’s Texas. lol Voldemort… *snicker* You were a Harry Potter fan, weren’t you! You can’t hide the truth!

    <<; Anyway, there are two movies I can’t wait for… Twilight coming out this December and DragonBall in April 2009. They say Twilight is going to be more popular then the Harry Potter movies! Yes! *hates Harry Potter* …

    This would be a really disappointing scene of the beginning if it were real. I hope they take it out if it is. Just imagine buying the Dragonball Special Addition DVD and looking through the deleted scenes and coming across this one. I would be like “What?!” 8O :o :(

    That dialogue is terrible, it cannot be real. Who knows..

    But aside from that, Justin’s silhouette in the photo is adorable.

    Since this guy stated ” I wasn’t chosen to go to Durango”
    even if its true he obviuoisly has axe to grind because he was not picked to continue , so retaliates with this post, The guy was supposably in early days of filming , so i dont think he sum up the entire film based one 1sentence of dialogue,
