It looks like our buddies in Japan won’t have to wait much longer for the trailer. CinemaToday is reporting that Dragonball’s trailer will premiere at the midnight showing of The Day The Earth Stood Still on December 18th. No word on if it’ll be released online.
According to Anime News Network, Otaku comic Teruyuki Tsuchida was offered a role in the live-action movie but declined due to scheduling conflicts.
Japanese comedic talent Teruyuki Tsuchida revealed on the GokigenyÅ television variety show on Wednesday that he was offered a role on Twentieth Century Fox’s live-action adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball manga, but he declined the role. He explained that his schedule was too busy to fit the project in. Tsuchida is a self-professed anime otaku, and he makes his fandom part of his comic routine. He made an appearance at the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 premiere event and joked that he just wanted to come to see the anime early. Tsuchida said on Wednesday that he was asked to play a person who gets attacked by the antagonist Piccolo because he held a Dragon Ball.
ComingSoon.net is reporting that 20th Century Fox may have extended the title of the movie to Dragonball: Evolution. What’s interesting is that dragonballevolutionmovie.com redirects to the official 20th Century Fox website.
Emmy Rossum (Bulma) updated her blog today from Tokyo, where she writes Justin Chatwin (Goku) was on the plane ride over there with her. Perhaps it’s for promotion?
Just a reminder that Jump Festa in Tokyo will be showing specially selected scenes from the movie on December 20th. If you pre-order tickets you’ll also be treated to a Goku or Piccolo bearbrick toy.
There were rumors that Justin Chatwin would be at the Dragonball movie panel at Jump Festa (where the movie clips will be shown), and this new blog post from Emmy could mean both of them will be attending.
