New Shot of Piccolo
Edward French (make-up artist) posted a new set photo of Piccolo (James Marsters) on his official website. He states that he can’t show Piccolo’s face yet due to the request of Fox, but promises a behind-the-scenes photo gallery when the film is released.

@DPA: sigh….
1) You spend too much time on Wikipedia
I don’t hate you, I love you
2) Why a different angle? To sell an audience who is tired of seeing the same old Tarzanesque film. It’s called reaching a specific demographic, you know, people who aren’t fans but will like it for what they see.
3) Again- you don’t know anything about movies.
4) STFU and make a fan flick on youtube and promote that if you don’t like what you are getting from Fox.
5) You are gay
6) ….bite me
7) Thanks for making my day interesting!
@DPA: Are you Samoan?
Hahaha KingKai
Your poor arguments have taken you to insult and offend. What can i say?
- I don´t need Wikipedia to know what i know about DB,the real DB.
- Go and applaud James Wong´s Master Piece if you want. He´s the genius, he´s the man. I can see his next project:
“Star Wars adaptation: The young Anakin trains with ObiWan menwhile … goes to highschool and then fullum galactic assasins kill hsi master”
-And finally u got the point “To sell an audience who is tired of seeing the same old Tarzanesque film.”
Yeah, but this movie not gonna be sold, gonna be prostituted. Entire world LOVED his tarzanesque origin, entire world LOVED Goku´s innocence and savage strenght.
FINALLY
“GO GO Z-WARRIORS
MIGHTY MORPHIN Z-WARRIORS”
DPA – to set this straight…
YES, I would love for the movie to be 100% accurate with an all Asian cast, BUT, that’s not what we are getting.
YES, Piccolo should be green, BUT, how do we know he won’t be?
YES, G.Gohan’s death hurt Goku, BUT, he was never that big a character in the beginning, so who cares if he lives or dies, ROSHI is his FATHER!!!
YES, I agree some characters should be in it that are not, BUT, we need surprises for sequals right?
YES, you are gay, BUT, we still talk to you
NOW….
If you wanted DB/DBZ to come out 100% in it’s entirety, then we would have at THE LEAST 3 movies for each Saga(like 10 I think) so that is 30 movies. Do you think that DBZ fans are hardcore enough to see 30 movies? If you said yes, you are right, BUT NOT ALL OF THE WORLD IS A DBZ FAN!!!!! And those are the people that Fox is trying to bring into the fold to enjoy the storyline.
You obvisouly do not understand marketing. Here are a few steps for this film:
1) Make a movie everyone will watch, fans and non fans
2) Make a toy line
3) Make a product for everything imaginable
4) This will make people who are already not into DBZ, look for older stuff to buy
5) Reproduce older products to get more money
6) Sit back and enjoy because this “product” has enough history that the new customers will eat all of the old items up!!
DO you understand yet?
ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY!!!!!
I hope this little bit of info on MONEY vs FAN WANTS has opened your beady little eyes
Ask any kid/fan what they remember most about DB/DBZ and they are going to say …what??? KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody gives a duece about the original DB when it comes to the hardcore awesomeness of DBZ.
I think I understand your problem with the film now…you want DB…not DBZ…
This movie is OBVIOUSLY DBZ based, with a hint of the DB plot.
All characters, save for King Piccolo are based on their DBZ counters……..
Either way I am done.
You need meds buddy!
I´m from Peru
@DPA: And I am sorry, my arguments hold more water than your fat cheeks.
I simply choose to insult because I have that comedic flair about me!
You on the other hand change your story as often as the hair falls out of your head, CONTINUOUSLY!!!!
Stick to complaining about one thing and you will be taken seriously ok?
Have a great day BUDDY!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You son of a good mother, kingkai, talking to me about MARKETING?
WTF? This movie has “0″ MARKETING. wHERE´s it OFFICIAL WEBSITE???
The things that we have to read…
And this “movie” is not based on DB, DBZ, it´s based on DBGT movie
Yeah,the worst DB movie, showing Goku Jr being the nerd boy at school. showing his dying grandma.
Go and keep insulting brotha. My critics are based on serious arguments. I never touched the hair theme (Bulma look at this movie is fine, blue is too weird, it´s just like on a saint seiya movie we asked for a shun with green hair)
And I can know a lil bit about movies, but if that comment comes from you, I just can say THANKS GOD FOR MAKE ME AN IGNORAT ABOUT MOVIES,NOT A GENIUS LIKE JAMES WONG AND KINGKAI.
Like i said
WONG TOOK DB, DBZ, DBGT, A COMPLETE MAGICAL UNIVERSE and turned into CRAP.
“More realistic” haha, ki blasts, kamehameha! yeah so real.
And in what part of DBZ appears sifu norris? Weaver? the cheerleader Chi chi´s friend? I got to read the manga again
Wait and see my unknowing chat buddy, once the actual marketing (trailer, posters) begins, the toy lines are coming, the clothing is coming, the every item a teen girl needs to get her Chatwin fix is coming, it’s all about sales.
And yes, this is more DBZ, Goku is older but a grown man, as always, and he obviously will go SSJ in the next flick.
I do however apologize for mixing you up with Rammsuck, that was my bad!
So being fans of the Dragonball empire, let’s just cease the prattle and wait until the film comes out.
Honestly if it sucks I will probably team up with you here!!
AH,and put DB story in one movie is possible. It´s not necessary make the easiest and commercial way.
I´m a fan. surely this movie gonna be very watched, but my interest as fan is the movie quality!!!!!!
I CAN´T CALL DB FAN, TO WHO DOESN´T CARE IF DB IS NOMINEE TO RAZZIES.
It´s just necessary to be INTELIGGENT. Wong showed his talent at … final destiantion?
i have had a look at the new db film and i will say this….THEY HAVE RUINED IT HARD!!!! IF THEY CANT GET THE BASIC ESSENCE OF DRAGONBALL WHICH IS FOR ANY1 THAT DOESNT KNOW THAT DRAGONBALLS WERE CREATED BY NAMEKIANS WHO WERE GREEN! FROM THE PLANET NAMEK!!! ANY TRUE FAN WOULD REALISE THIS PICCOLO LOOKS LIKE A FAGGOT!!
@KingKai: You make it look like as if the dumb commercial way, and I say “dumb” because if it is commercial it doesn’t have to be necessarily dumb, is THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT.
And, guess what, it is not! The idea that Dragon Ball needs to be “adapted” or “improved” for whatever audience is a fallacy. Dragon Ball gained fans throughout the world way before some American idiot decided to “adapt” it.
You should get over it. They blew it. They transformed a fantastic story in some retarded cliche. That’s it.
Well Rammsuck, do you have millions of dollars to produce a movie on that scale? If not then sit back and enjoy what they give you, if not, go cry to the cartoon network re-runs. That is how Hollywood runs, like it or not.
AGAIN- (DPA I have made my peace with you
) — YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MAKING MOVIES!!!!!!!!
AGAIN- Obviously Akira T. has no problem with it. Do you think Stan Lee expected all his life work to look the way it does when it comes out to film? NO!!! But you make a mistake, which is what all first movies in a trilogy seem to be, and you make the sequals better.
AGAIN- dry your cry baby eyes, get over it and STFU!!!!
If I want to argue about pokemon card games I will care about your opinion!!
AAAAANNNNDDDDDD……it doesn’t matter what your opinion is, because you are not the people they are trying to make money off of. They ADAPTED it to target a demographic.
Marketing is alot more than simple posters and advertisements. You have to know where you are going to get the most money from and what age range you are going to get it from. In this case they want to attract the bubble-gum pre-teens who buy the shirts, toys, book bags, carrying cases.
NEVER ONCE HAS A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE ADAPTED FROM A COMIC( save for Sin City and the latest Iron Man and Hulk) BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE FANS HAPPY!!!
GET OVER IT SERIOUSLY!!!!
I bet this movie has more opening weekend sales than you HATERS are expecting!
Peace out Rammsuck, peace out haters, love you DPA, hate all your mothers!!
KingKai- OUT!!!
Kig Kai, really, i start to believe when Rammstein talks about “retarded”
@Rammstein: You´r right, i´m agree with u except when you ask for blue hair for bulma. That´s too funny. Remember color-hair is not an attribute exclusive from DB (FOR EXAMPLE SAINT SEIYA) But surely the characters must look the most possible to the manga and anime.
The fact is IT´S UNNECESSARY TO CHANGE A COMPELTE FANTASY WORLD, JUST TO GET MONEY. I CAN´T IMAGINE “LORD OF THE RINGS” with frodo and his friends being nerd-elfs at highschool.
This DB “movie” remembers the adaptation from “Treasure island” : “Treasure Planet”
What happened with that adaptation?
Yeah, right, It sucked all
I’m going to say this and call it a day on this topic.
DPA and Rammstein, see you at the theater on April 10th.
Right
@KingKai: “They ADAPTED it to target a demographic. ”
And that’s why I said they DUMBED IT DOWN so the “Homer Simpson” wouldn’t get surprised. They look down at their our audience. Dragon Ball has proved that people are open to different things, but Fox-tards treat their own “audience” like animals.
“”NEVER ONCE HAS A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE ADAPTED FROM A COMIC( save for Sin City and the latest Iron Man and Hulk) BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE FANS HAPPY!!!”"
You r putting Wong in the same bag with Sam Raimi, Chris Nolan, Del Toro…
Those directors used something : CRITERIA. James Wong has as criteria as my left testicle.
@DPA: “You´r right, i´m agree with u except when you ask for blue hair for bulma. ”
http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=PodcastHollyCummins
Dr. Holly Cummins has blue hair. It’s certainly doable.
They have high school and all that stuff in DBZ. Gohan went to high school and was playing baseball. They mix reality and fantasy together. Is an advanced type of world with advanced technology so there has to be schools. Besides goku will be there for like 7 min. and the rest is fantasy, fighting, martial arts, and kai blast so shut the fuck up winey bitches! Anyways no matter what, I know you all will be there at the theater.lol
@Rammstein:

And SHun can be green-hair xDDD
Be reasonable this time, i want a DB movie with fidelity to the anime/manga, but one DB movie that people take it serious too. That blue hair is an extreme.
than man is Dr Mario poggi xD
@Jadix:
Surely i must be the movie, to confirm my fears
That only idea of Goku going to school, is too far from DB Universe.
Maybe u can move characters,change some things, but u can´t change origins. You can´t mix origins.
i must watch the movie, i mean
why dosent he has that things on his head? u know, the antene like things….
DPA, Rammsuck…and anyone else who bitches about characterization…..I found the cast and crew you were looking for!!!
http://media.photobucket.com/image/dragonball%20z/otakon2008bromery/DSCF1388.jpg
Now I am sure you will be happy if the movie looked like this wouldn’t you?
@Nuni: Because FOX screwed the movie. They changed everything.
@KingKai:
HAHAHA you were close =P. Naaahhh, Don´t be so extreme. And learn to read
.

I want a DB movie with fidelity to the anime/manga, but one DB movie that people take it serious too. That blue hair is an extreme. I want a DB not full fantasy movie, but neither a commercial full cliche-movie.
Wow! This movie looks freakin awesome!! I really really hope it isn’t a stupid blowout or a bust. That would stink. All I know is if it is a bust, alot of people will be very dissapointed. So i guess we’ll just have to wait. I hate waiting!
I have to be totally honest, James Marsters IS Piccolo but he is supposed to be green and have antenna. The rest of the costume is fine but why make such a drastic change to the character? Racism against Namekians, James does not want the make-up to go that far or do we have another Deanzilla on the loose etc…? The rest of the movie and characters look great but almost 5,500 (out of 11,000 +) voters on the poll agree that the change is not pleasing to the eye and other reasons as well. I’ll say this, “There is always time for change now or at least when the DBZ movie comes along!”
ummm i dont see piccolos face at all? am i seeing the same pic as u guys all i see is his back??? D=
Piccolos assasin are whack id much much rather see drum, cymbal, piano and tamborine..
Where are piccolos antennae and green skin
@DPA: I have read everything you ever posted, as confounding and monotonous your opinions and griping becomes, you still want a live action cartoon.
You want nothing less than what you read in the anime and what you saw on the cartoon. Well…..there is your cast. Goofy as hell and bright, with all the proper colors and uniforms.
Enjoy!
he have ANTENNAS¡¡ yesss
