Fox Loves Dragonball

August 22nd, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Remember Film Junk’s post on Fox not being pleased with Dragonball and considering a possible cancellation? Well, Superheroflix reportedly has a source that is very close to the film, who reveals the exact opposite. Maybe Film Junk needs to re-evaluate their sources.

The film was completed a while ago, and the reasons for moving the film’s release date from this summer to next spring was to insure that all of the needed special effects were completed. We have a source that is very close to the film. And he/she says that the first edit is done, and that it has been shown to those “higher ups” at Fox. And that they love the finished film. Our studio contact, who we aren’t allowed to name at the moment, worked on the production, and has seen the completed movie. Everyone involved seems to think they have a hit on their hands, and he even went on to say that it was “pretty darn awesome. There is certainly talk about a sequel. I have no doubt that it will happen. I’m sure that it will be a trilogy.”

If you are anxiously awaiting Dragonball, don’t be scared by these sudden rumors that the film is being scrapped or sent directly to home video. That is certainly not the case. Dragonball is still set for a April 3rd, 2009 release date.

    @REPAIR MAN MAN:

    It was Piccolo Jr who developed that “skill” (if you can call it that way) to regenerate. King Piccolo didnt know how to regenerate. Piccolo Jr trained to master that skill to avoid getting killed the same way his father did.

    @JoseMP: thats weird, cuz i thought all nameks could regenerate. like nail.

    @REPAIR MAN MAN: Yeah..I thought Nail did regenerate at one point…I could be wrong though. But if he could then WTF…why didn’t King Piccolo do it?

    @Sharzademar: I’d be happy if they made Goku seem like the Martyr but not after the Frieza saga…he ends up as a Martyr in the Cell saga too. That saga has Cell, imo the best villain in the series, Trunks…my personal favorite good guy, and SSJ Vegeta…

    not to mention the androids..who were all BA…

    personally I just really wanna see Trunks in the big screen..but if it stops at the end of the Frieza saga, then I’ll live…that was one of the longest, most intense battles of the whole anime.

    As an average visitor who likes to check out the comments, I’m forced to ask a question:

    Is ” I AM …. REPAIR MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN MAN….” supposed to be funny or annoying?

    Yeah Raditz should come at the end of the movie…. and he should be played by Tom Welling ;) , does anyone have a good reason not to cast him, he does look like Chatwin. and Shin Koyamada should play Vageta in part Z, i know your thinking that it should be played by Ray Park, but it gives the impression that all Saiyan are white.and he looks way to old to be bulma’s husband anyway.
    How sad, out of this whole movie theres not one Japanese person in it. So i think Shin should be Vegeta prince of all saiyans. OK I KNOW HE HAS TO EAT AND HIT THE GYM!!!!!!!………. but i know he can pull it off.

    Remember Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada) Raditz(Tom Welling) Vegeta (Shin Koyamada)

    My Uncle works for Fox. I was allowed to see the film with him as I was doing some work experience in the industry. It was a special screening for the head of Fox to see if it was up to standard. I’m not allowed to say anything but…. brace yourselves FOR THE WORST… sorry everyone… I really am :(

    I think the first movie should end with piccolo killing both raditz and goku with the beam cannon, so people think goku is dead at the end. only to show some surprise after the end credits. That way they wouldn’t have to worry about the raditz fight in the second movie and we could have both the vegeta and freeza sagas in one movie.

    I just don’t want to have to wait til the 3rd movie to see goku go super. i guess i’m just searching for away to not have to wait that long.

    Hello everybody,
    I’m sorry to say that but i was really out of me when i saw same of picures about that movies. I’m like you all, a big fan of dragon ball manga and i would never accept people make such bad movie about it. WE all cannot accept such bad story with no logic and no dragon ball spirit. If they can’t do it right, please stop that… NO more to say….

    The reason that King Piccolo couldn’t regenerate, at least story wise, is that he wasn’t a true Namek- just the evil portion of one. By being born, Piccolo Jr was transformed into an actual Namek, so he has all the abilities of a Namek.

    Other than that, the alien stuff wasn’t planned so far back in Dragonball. It was after that King Piccolo saga that it was even hinted it. Before that, he was just a demon.

    Hello Grapes,

    I’m sure that you do like dragon ball like i do. So i would like to ask you same question: What do you like in dragon ball manga?? Try to find your answer in that movie?? Where is all beautifulls places in db. where is the fun without speciale CAPSULE CORP TOOLS and communs objets on db world? Where is the db spirit????

  33. Henri
    August 25th, 2008 at 10:09 | #33

    Hi Again,

    What i’m asking here is just to have dragon ball spirit in that movies. We all know that Fox is the first to say yes on that complicate experience and task, So i can tell all of them thanks But Don’t puch away the dragon ball Spirit. And if you really want to have a sold out on all countries and world, PLease respect that spirirt. Take your time to watch the manga and do the right things. No one can make db movies without that spirit. Don’t make such mistakes……….
    We all love dbz and we will hate you if you puch back that spirit….THat can be also your end…..

    August 25th, 2008 at 10:17 | #34

    Hello dukemon22,

    King Picollo is a true Namek… King Picollo is one of the great warrior of Namek planet. PLease guys read or watch again your dragon ball story PLease PLease……Picollo travelled long time ago to find a way to perform himself and transform into a good living being. That separation created Piccollo jr. He must puch away the devil in order to became the King namek( god of our planet);;; Guys……Please stop that….I’m really sad……

    Jason if you really have seen the film then why don’t you tell us what was so bad about it. Pretty much your full of bullshit because they all say ” I can’t say anything about it blah blah blah” if you wanna be useful explain to us in detail problems and faults in the movie give us a list of characters and a very detailed description of Piccolo. If you don’t your full of shit / your a pussy ass bitch who has nothing to do but put false info on the internet.

    So this one time, I turned into Batman and fought the Joker on top of a skyscraper and he told me about his scars. It was a good time and I saved a dude. That dude was happy and he happened to be an executive up at Fox, so I went in secret because Warner Brothers wouldn’t have liked it if they knew I went to go see Dragonball, so using my learned ninja skills, I went with the executive to go see a private showing and it was amazing. The CGI was awesome and Piccolo looked alot like James Marsters…I was intrigued but I came to love it. Goku kills Piccolo at one point and his body turns into a boulder and falls on Tito (who they explained to be Krillin). Goku didn’t like it and brought him back and they had a giant Yu-Gi-Oh battle in the middle of the desert and Piccolo pulled out Exodia, and they cut out there.

    It was pretty sweet.

    August 25th, 2008 at 14:57 | #45

    King Piccolo is not a true Namek. Kami is. That’s also why most of his children are not Nameks. Only Piccolo Jr. was (and Jr. is a true namek.)

    And again, the whole Namek thing was formulated after Piccolo’s introduction.

    But, away from that and back on topic- it’s good to know Fox likes the movie, but I didn’t really think they wouldn’t. The movie is coming whether people want to believe it or not- it’s just a matter of whether you want to show your support for it. I for one can’t wait.

    August 25th, 2008 at 15:23 | #48

    also i this movie i will love for raditz to come right to come tight at the end of the film but then if they dont mention krilln or tien in this movie he wont be in the story line atall so i wonder if they will go year after wen gohan is born or it will be lyk goku defeating freeza and turning super sayain wen he is 18 OR 19 (RETARDED) so i think they should put him in the next movie(dragonball z) years after it will make more sence

    August 25th, 2008 at 15:27 | #49

    @nelson18: ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RESPONDING TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT WAT IF THEY DONE WAT X-MEN THE LAST STAND DONE DO A SCEENE OF RADITZ AFTER THE MOVIE CREDITS U HAFT to admit it is a good idea

    August 25th, 2008 at 16:57 | #50

    ok granted they might be able to pull this movie off… i figured out a better way to make the movie in which I’m pretty sure they didnt do…

    they need to make dragonball like the fantasy it is… take a look at some of the episodes, especially the original japanese version which the kind of music it has…

    now look at somethingn like the movie legend or something… it has that fantasy feel… the only thing that really would need to be done differently is to make it a lot more epic, but still carry the fantasy feeling that dragonball actually has… keeping the fantasy style would allow for unrealistic “ridiculous” looking characters … hence all the crazy looking characters in the movie LEGEND
