Jamie Chung Interview

September 4th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

We sure have had a lot of Jamie Chung (Chi-Chi) interviews this past month, and today we have another. You can read the full interview on IGN, or the Dragonball portion here.

IGN: Dragonball has such a huge following. Were you aware of it beforehand?

Chung: I’m so scared… I grew up watching Dragonball. Are you kidding me? I love it! So, to play Chi Chi, the girl that I admired, is kind of crazy. I kind of wanted to be Bulma, but Emmy Rossum is perfect for Bulma. She really fits the character essence and everything.

IGN: What was the shoot like?

Chung: It was awesome. A major motion picture and a TV schedule is so different and the budget’s are so different, and the magic that you can make happen is amazing.

IGN: Were you able to take any of the things you’d learned on Samurai Girl and use them in Dragonball?

Chung: Oh, yeah. And I learned even more on Dragonball and I brought it to Samurai Girl. It was great!

IGN: What was it like working with your costars in Dragonball?

Chung: They’re brilliant actors. Emmy, only being 21, is an absolute pro. She knows what she’s doing, she’s absolutely gorgeous – she’s stunning. And she’s dedicated. I was in awe of her beauty. James Marsters has a huge following, but he’s so down to Earth. He’s a method actor and he’s fantastic. He’s the perfect Piccolo. I know they won’t show it to you, but the makeup they did and the mask took three hours to do, and he looks insane. They were very picky and particular on how he was going to look. Justin Chatwin is a pro. Not only does he fit the character internally — he has Goku’s essence — but he looks like a cartoon character! With his big, blue eyes, he looks like Japanese anime!

IGN: What are your outfits like in Dragonball?

Chung: Lots of boobies. I mean, it fits my character name, you know?

IGN: [Laughs] What was your reaction seeing the costume?

Chung: I’m like, “You want me to look wholesome and you want me to wear pants and not show leg, and yet I have Chi Chis!”

    @Polak: You just made yourself look stupid!! Why would you spend 1 year of your life bashing a movie you think is going to s*Ck???? You must have nothing better to do? Instead waisting your time talking trash. Go make your own Dragonball movie!

    @grapes: Thanks grapes!! Grapes is my favorite fruit by the way :)

    @Polak: Since you don’t want to awsner none of my questions then I’ll awnser yours Polak. If Adam welcomes everyone here, then so do I. But If your talking about making plans to start a pentition or you keep bashing the film, then im going to make my opinion. If im optimistic then so are you!! Your calling me names, because I don’t agree with you. I don’t care what you or anybody else says…. PICCOLO IS GOING TO ROCK THE F*CKIN’ HOUSE!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: He looks amazing!

    How many times has everyone here looked at King Piccolo’s picture????
    I don’t know about you, but I can’t keep my eye’s off of it!! You can hate it or you can love it, but you have to admit you can’t keep your eye’s off of it.
    Im just soooo glad that I never doubted James Marsters.
    People doubted Heath Ledger as Joker, but he turned out to be the best Joker ever.

    actually, thats where your wrong corey, i dont WANT to keep my eyes on it, i think he looks like shit to be honest. but it doesn’t mean the movie will suck.

    but yeah back off of corey polak, just because hes a little..over excited about the movie doesn’t mean hes weird or creepy

    let him like what he likes,why do you care so much what he thinks, doesnt make since polak

    there was a post earlier about shenron
    i even googled it and it led me to this page, but then it said something about page not found
    O_O
    didnt chatwin say he had heard from some people that the trailer had came out in japan already?

    im guessing when she commented on his eyes being blue that she could have stated goku having blue eyes when he goes super saiyin in the series

  14. September 5th, 2008 at 09:00 | #14

    @http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: well said you explained that very well just dont care what people say even if piccolo was green the same people who do complain about this piccolo will still complain if he is green thats y i just dont listen to them.

  15. September 5th, 2008 at 09:08 | #15

    @josh1122: well its and and polak v me and corey you are 1 of those people who will still hate piccolo even if you were green

    @Polak: actually corey has a point,, its pretty pathetic of you to keep coming here waisting your time on something you don´t like.. anyways, its your time that you are waisting, and it makes it more fun for us :p

    chichis xD

  21. Masenko-Huh?
    September 5th, 2008 at 11:58 | #21

    I think Jaime Chung was an awesome choice for chi chi. I think all of the actors picked were good choices. Hmm…I always thought Jack Black would make an excellent Yajirobe, He looks exactly like him! :lol: Not sure who else would be good for the other missing characters tho but hopefully they fit them in somewhere, maybe in the sequel?

  22. September 5th, 2008 at 12:09 | #22

    you are seriously the biggest prick in the world
    i dont know what makes you think you have a right to stop others from seeing this movie. Just get a life ass-wipe :x

  25. September 5th, 2008 at 13:00 | #25

  31. September 5th, 2008 at 19:07 | #31

    sorry my i phone changed goku into goji

    September 6th, 2008 at 01:04 | #32

    wow dude, seriously, a lot of you take this shit waaaaay to seriously, it’s a FUCKING movie for goodness sake, “oh Piccolo looks nothing like him” “Chatwin doesn’t have Goku’s eyes”…psssh, seriously, get a fucking life and stop trying to talk out of your ass just to be heard, it’s a fucking ADAPTATION so it ain’t gonna be perfect, just wait until October when we get a trailer and quit yer bitch…CHRIST… 8O

    @pwalk:

    I gotta warn you too like I did the others. Be careful not to strain yourself. Mom or Dad or even grandma might come in and see your cussing on the internet kid. Be careful!

  34. September 6th, 2008 at 07:02 | #34

    I can’t catch the meaning of “Lots of boobies”, can anyone tell me the meaning?

    #1 DBZ fan signing off.

    September 7th, 2008 at 13:45 | #37

    Its a fucking adaptation but that doesn’t mean you fucking get rid of every goddamn detail and go fucking crazy. Lord Piccolo looks like the fucking vampire from Buffy. Grandpa Gohan is 7 feet tall why the fuck do they got old man fucking Sanders to replace his ass. This shit is supposed to be futuristic. And yes, the director should give a fuck about the lil details because most of their audience will be die hard DBZ fans the other ppl who don’t know about will not see it and ore have friends that are die hard fans. If you fuck up the details then tell their friends and then it multiplies and they miss out on millions of dollars. Yes! The fucking details fucking matter.

    This is what Goku should look like

  39. September 7th, 2008 at 16:40 | #39

    hey chung guess what….. PICCOLO LOOKS LIKEA BIG BUULLSHIIIIIT

    October 5th, 2008 at 02:52 | #40

    She can support her colleagues/co-casts whatever. But Chitwin does not have Goku’s eyes. Piccolo looks like Palatine Sith from Star Wars. So many disappointment. The good thing is since many of the DB fan’s expectation is for movie to suck, if the movie is anything remotely decent, it might do well at the box office.
