Saiyan Island

Awesome o_O

Nice..

lmao. GAY!

at least they are trying tho. Cant wait 4 the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t decide if this is good or bad. Looking at Stacey’s previous work… I don’t know.

I’m STILl guna GET it no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve not seen her previous work. But im definately getting this

ohh mann.. rofl XD

well.. it’ll be cool if they had pictures in it lol XD
(well pictures from the movie we haven’t seen yet )

Hmm… So is this going to tell the whole story? Cos if so we’ll know everything even sooner wont we?

I remember picking up a copy of the Pirates of the Caribbean kiddie novel a while back. My brain melted; it was worse than the most inept fanfic, haha. So, yeah, no junior novels for me again. Ever. XD

I am slightly curious to see the characterizations, though. It’s just a bizarre thought — kids reading this and thinking it’s Dragonball, the original DB or whatnot, when they could just go pick up the graphic novel a few shelves down and find something fairly different. XD

And, hmm, Ramsey’s credited. Must mean that, at the very least, Wong used his script and just added and subtracted things. Despite Ramsey being all coy, saying that he couldn’t say whether the script was fake or not, whether it was his or not, there’s no doubt in my mind now that it was the real thing (especially since we’ve heard about the party scene, etc. in the movie now). That . . . isn’t very encouraging, though. There wasn’t much about that script that I liked. . . .

Well i still believe 100% the script was fake.

is that the front cover? looks fake.

in ben ramsey script was there a chichi vs. chichi fight???

thats cool, its good that they seem to be putting in some more effort on getting the story told to the masses who may not know it so well…

@Adam: I’m with you, I can’t decide whether to like it or hate it.
I just don’t know, can Fox really be that confident in Dragonball to actually go forward with this?

So its a book, “based” on a movie, “based” on a book? SWEET. lol. Im not really excited about the cover… but since this is on Barnes & Nobel maybe that means that were going to get a trailer soon.

when i read/see/experiance all these things abouth this wonderful upcoming movie, one word comes to mind:

FAIL

Why? Not because I’m a crazy fanboy. Not because I doubt the actors/special effects etc.

One reason: FOX

If they gave this to Warn. Bros.I would have have some faith, since they make the DC cartoons into movies (like the recent epic Dark Knight).

But the problem is other than Warner other companies have more than once dissapointed me with the way they have done the Marvel cartoons to movie adaptations. The first Spiderman movies were ok, but they changed things around (green goblin etc.) and killed off bad guys, totally ignoring the fact that the movies mite surpass being a trilogy. And then came along Peter Parker in spiderman 3 – supposed to turn evil. But no, what did he do? He turned emo in that movie..thats right, EMO! Looking at justin in metro clothes I already have my doubts.

Now lets look at the X-men movies. They killed Xavier…WTF!? Yes yes, I know, it was supposed to be a trilogy..but they never thought it could go further, and now they have to make a silly wolverine side story…why? Cause they killed people off…

Dragonball, epsecially Z, has an unike atmosphere – thats what captured me as a child. I believe its very hard to capture that atmosphere, and looking at the pics I think they have failed.

Now Im porbably going to get bashed for this, but I appeal to all the logically thinking people here, who do not suffer from the brainwashing and alianation of the ever deceiving capatalist system, dont buy into this bullshit.

This movie is going to be epic…EPIC FAIL.

Oh yes, and corey wilson, you r still gay

You kind of had me until

”Now Im porbably going to get bashed for this, but I appeal to all the logically thinking people here, who do not suffer from the brainwashing and alianation of the ever deceiving capatalist system, dont buy into this bullshit.”

Another idiot who thinks his word is god and all powerful and a fact. Seriously go back to IMDB, they will praise you over there bro

Looks like… smells like… CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

Well we always knew they were going to merchandise the shit out of this franchise. I can’t say I’m surprised, and who knows, maybe it’ll be good? Oh who am I kidding…

geust… Have you seen the movie?

I dont post on IMBD…dont even visit it. And no, my word is not god. Nor is it all powerful. But I did state some facts. Can I know the movie will be crap before hand? I geuss not. But judging on the pics I am extremely sceptical. I just read the (hopefully) rejected Ramsey script. It was like smallville, only worse. If the whole rejected schoolboy thing is in the movie, complete with him being geeky, it will not be true to Dragonball. No, I’m not saying they should follow the anime word for word, God that would fail. But here are some feelings I have about Dragonball:

1. Goku is not a superhero in the true sense of the word. I always saw him as a warrior, fighter. Protector of earth, yes. Disguised caped guy, no. Thats not to say thats how hes being portraid, but Im getting a very superhero movie-ish vibe from what Ive seen so far.

2. Goku is goofy and crazy, and down right retarted at times. He can’t go through social rejection, because he doesn’t care about crap like that. He is oblivious. He better be like that in the movie. If Justin goes emo, then epic fail. Gohan, maybe yes. Trunks is also quite emo-ish, the future one at least. But not goku. He is happy go lucky, chill and friendly..until someone pisses him off.

3. The anime was always very ‘light’..I dont know how to describe it..but the feeling it gave me when I saw it the first time…Radtiz showing up, big fight in a big open place (green hills to be specific) between Raditz and goku/picollo. It felt unike anything I have ever seen before. But these pics feel way to dark. I hope to God the movie has a good feeling/atmosphere to it.

This is just the opinion of one guy, but Im shure there are more people who feel that something ‘Dragonball-ish’ is missing from this movie. Something that no amount of good acting, special effects and wardrobe can fix.

Whats with the font? Dont really care about a book about the movie, but this cover looks fake as hahaha.
Lets all send FOX letters saying we are all going to boycott this movie if you dont release the trailer Before the end of this month, they will b like “but japan has rights” then we say nahhh nahhh just post it on youtube as some random bloke …haha

YEAHHH!!!!

Lets do it

Fuck!

Um… ok. That’s like stupid. >.>;

*is embarrassed to be a DB fan now…*

Someone needs to tell Stacia to mind her own business and quit writing silly things. I mean HELL. Its coming up two months before the blasted movie??? GAYYYYYYYYYYYY!! I want to see the real, BETTER thing. Not this trash…which unfortunately…I’m buying.

~_~

i have noticed a pattern with this board. on the first set of comments everyone is praising the news until halfway down, the haters make their debut and for the entire day there would only be people bashing the movie.

i have come to think of this movie as not a regurgitated story of dragonball with live actors but like ultimate marvel, the ultimate retelling of dragonball

Is this necessary??? I mean really………. And on top of that the cover looks like S***. That is such a bad photo to be promoting dragonball!!! It just so….. fake looking.

What I meant was cheap looking.

@Deadlock04: I strongly agree with you.

@Niles: I agree with you.

This….’cover?’ is rather ridiculous. If this IS promotion, I am so hating Fox right now for letting this piece of promotional ‘crap’ happening.

Bet it will suck. Most movie-based novels suck.

I dont see anything that wrong about the cover. It looks pretty OK for me, I expect JUNIOR NOVELS to have “fake-ish” font like that from time to time (after all its targetted at kids in a way)

@Adam:

if the book is bad it’s only cuz the movie is bad seeing it’s based off the movie

WTF is everyone bashing this for? Its a movie so there will be a book! Big deal get over it

Junior Novel? Is it gonna be something like the Star Wars Prince Ken books (which were horribly bad but oh-so funny)? Count me there. LOL.

And uh, kaypain42, the book could still be horribly written, regardless of the movie’s fail or awesome-factor. Of course, it’s a Junior Novel. It’s not supposed to be high literature.

Who else thinks the fights are gonna go something like this: “They were staring at each other, very hard. But then Goku punched him, but Piccolo dodged, like a ninja!”

Looks cool. I know I’ll be getting it lol

This is the only thing I have had a problem wit this entire time!!!
I have been perfectly okay with everything that has happened.. And I have honestly not once been dissapointed.. Until now..

I am not a basher at all.. You can go read all my previous posts..

But THIS is retarded!

There is already quite a few books!!
I mean come on!

On the brightside.. Maybe this could help influence for a series reboot..

Which would be effing sick!!

since its “based on the movie” i wonder if it will have spoilers..

I might get it for show off but only after I see the move.

This is like the first time I’m at a loss of words for a comment. . .uum. It’s ok I guess, I think. It should have a cover that really grabs your attention and not having dumb people in the bookstore saying, “Why isn’t Goku wearing his gi?

Nice… But they should have that one picture with goku in his gi and a dragonball in his hands as the cover. not this…

…..Well, its better then a Toy, Video game and or “Dragonball:The Animation Movie”.

this picture has been an update like 4 different times

Does anybody get the whole floating dragonball thing!!! I mean whats up with that? To me it just doesn’t make sense. It would make more sense if was a Ki Blast.

Why release it in February there’ll be people buying this, hating and maybe not watching the movie later.. I mean, F—, there’ll be even more haters

@AAA1058: the picture is not a update. Its the book

if this is true, its really stupid
because they havent taken a story from dragonball

its like they are ripping dragonball off by using the concept and characters
and creating there own story

if they followed the original dragonball, there would be no need to make another book

stupid if you ask me !

@Niles , they probably enjoy floating balls.
Well now that a book is being released or “junior’s novel” however you wanna call it lol. And then the HQ photos on IGN. Probably a teaser might come out soon, next few months, maybe this month or the next who knows.

Its coming out 2 months before movie hopefully this wont hurt the movies cash-flow! It will help if its good or hurt if its bad!

Some people on here are kinda stupid no offense. Srsly, they ALWAYS release books based on movies BEFORE the movie =/ And why are so many people gettin worked up over a goddamn book? There is a junior novel on every damn movie for cereal.

i guess this is just Fox’s way of confusing the kids about what DB really is.
