Emmy Rossum Interview

December 8th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

Oricon Style has a new interview with Emmy Rossum (Bulma). We’ve got your translation.

Have you seen the movie?
No, but I saw rushes (film with VFX and sound effects unfinished).

What scene were you impressed with?
Kamehameha! I’m sure you can enjoy various action scenes like Goku vs. Piccolo.

Is it an action movie?
It is an action adventure movie and there is a little comedy element, as with the original “Dragonball.” Although it has intense action, it is a movie everyone can enjoy.

How do you interpret the character of Bulma?
For me, Bulma is a intellectual scientist and a strong women. I knew Dragonball a little because the animation aired in the mornings on the weekend in the U.S. However, when I got this role, I wanted to know her more so I studied by seeing the anime again and reading the comic.

Did you know the popularity (of Dragonball)?
It may not be as popular as it is in Japan, but it’s popular in the U.S. too. I feel the responsibility to fans both in Japan and the U.S.

Did you enjoy action scenes?
Of course. About 90% I performed for myself without a stunt double. I learned martial arts and I rode a motor bike, although I had never ridden one before, so I had to train hard for this role.

Weren’t you injured?
I’m not injured but I made a lot of bruises. The hairstyle of Bulma is the ponytail at a high position so it became a very good cushion when I turned over or fell down (laugh).

    December 8th, 2008 at 14:57 | #32

    nice, though some long months ago she said she hadn´t read the manga or seen the anime so i dont know what to believe anymore,,, but there´s no doubt that chatwin and marsters took their roles as seriously as you could possibly take
    so my hopes are still high

  33. david
    December 8th, 2008 at 14:58 | #33

    Emmy Rossum responds as if she’s never seen an episode of Dragonball in her life, or knows nothing of its history.

    @david:
    My thoughts exactly. What kind of crap is this? I really wish they had tried when making this film…

  35. December 8th, 2008 at 15:14 | #35

    YAY she watched the anime and read the manga too!! NICE

    these people better act like the characters. Im sure they will!!!!

  36. December 8th, 2008 at 15:19 | #36

    I really liked the interview, dont get me wrong.. but there was one part that i didnt like much. When they asked her is she knew the popularity of dragonball, but she answered: ” yeh in usa is not as popular as in japan, but i know is very popular”. She should have said that she knew that dragonball was very very popular in the whole World and she knew she had to play Bulma very well cause is lot of responsability, or something like that..

    @henry: an actor can still portray a character right without the source material if they know characterization.
    ex.
    joker(TDK)
    Magneto (Xmen)
    etc

    love the interview though she could have secretly put some plot :lol:

    this movie is being shunned by the entire world, how can you hope to live up to anything you dumb bitch.

  42. December 8th, 2008 at 15:49 | #42

    @DRAGONFAIL: holy fuck, you need to take it easy on the roids there marky mark. you won’t know the movie sucks until you see it so why don’t you just relax and have a wine cooler or something

  43. Bucky-O-Hare
    December 8th, 2008 at 15:50 | #43

    I’m glad she’s studied the role. I guess she really wants to portray the character accurately and isn’t just in it for the fame and money. Or not. who knows…
