Justin and Emmy Interview

January 21st, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Justin Chatwin (Goku) and Emmy Rossum (Bulma) were interviewed by Sankei Shinbun, a Japanese newspaper. We’re once again provided with a translation.

“There are a lot of Dragonball fans all over the world. I was always thinking what the fans were thinking, I felt responsibility,” said Chatwin, who was chosen as Goku, with a serious face.

“He totally devoted himself to practice the role, so when he stepped into a dangerous area, no one could approach him,” said Rossum. Chatwin responded with a joke, “I was thinking it was my mission to fight against the bad guys of Mexico City.”

“Dragonball” tends to be thought of “for kids,” but Chatwin says “the movie is the story of Goku coming to be a warrior. It will be enjoyable for both children and adults, even non-fans.” Rossum adds, “The movie is also devoted to the adult fans who grew up with Dragonball.”

  11. January 22nd, 2009 at 06:34 | #11

    Good news.
    Im pretty sure that the oldies like me, will enjoy alot of this movie.

    can’t wait

    Guys, its a 50/50 chance between PG or PG-13. So you have to wait until a couple of weeks or days till we see the official rating for this film.

    @ec:

    Tom Welling is identified with Clark Kent, but I don`t know why he never will be considered a good option for a superman movie xD

    This Chatwin look fine but the problem of his seriousness is more because how they made the character, mixing the first saga, of adventure and funny search, with Piccolo`s saga full from drama and death included. Don`t ask a smiling and adventurer Goku if he has his grandpa killed. And that`s the sad part.

    Tea he would be a good superman

  16. Masenko-Huh?
    January 22nd, 2009 at 08:09 | #16

    This is good to hear. Film is devoted to its fans that grew up with it. YAY! Perhaps this film will be even better than everyone thought! :D And I’m glad to hear that Justin Chatwin really felt out this role for the fans sake. Makes me really suspicious that he WAS that guy that kept coming on here using that name and defending the movie. Really strange. 8O

  17. Masenko-Huh?
    January 22nd, 2009 at 08:12 | #17

    and oh shit its nearly only 2 months away I better start working at a couple of costumes! GAH! :o

    January 22nd, 2009 at 08:35 | #18

    If that rumor’s true that Tom Welling was considered the role of Goku then thank God he was turned down. He’s not that good of an actor!!!

  19. January 22nd, 2009 at 09:03 | #19

    @chicagoboy888: Yea really. I’ve only ever seen Chatwin in one other thing (The Chumscrubber) and he wasn’t that bad in it. Plus he sort of looks like Goku so I don’t think he was a bad choice. The only problem I have with him is that he needs to put on some muscle. But I guess that’s not that big of a deal for this first movie because it’s based on when he was younger. But if they come out with a DBZ movie, he definitely has a lot of work ahead of him.

  20. January 22nd, 2009 at 09:26 | #20

    Cool! :D

    where is the second trailer?
    xD

    January 22nd, 2009 at 11:45 | #30

    My guess is that there wont be a second trailer ;)

  31. January 22nd, 2009 at 12:09 | #31

    i think we have a good chance to get a different trailer as it gets closer and closer to release

  32. jcvts
    January 22nd, 2009 at 12:23 | #32

    @Doritos: Lol…sorry, i disagree. :) I think/hope we’ll be getting a second trailer, with a lot more to show…this one, despite being good, shows as much of the movie as a teaser would… could be wrong though, but then again…something tells me i’m not…lol.. :)

    I dont know why some of you ask adam questions like he actually knows everything. He is just a simple fan like the rest of ya.

  41. January 22nd, 2009 at 13:59 | #41

    When I first saw Chatwin put on that Orange gi, I had CHILLS dude!!
    I thought I was going to pass out from Excitement.
    I felt Goku’s presence and it was over 9,000.
    This movie is going to ROCK so HARD like the anime!!
    I KNOW IT and I CAN FEEL IT!!!!
    I think James Marsters said it best….

    “I am going to EAT THIS ROLE ALIVE!!!! HA, HA, HA, HA” -James Marsters

    And he proved that with the first words that came out of his mouth

    “With this Dragonball I take my Vengence upon the Earth.” -James Marsters

    Now that was Scary!!!! I have a feeling King Piccolo is going to be everyones favorite DB Villian after this movie.

    Step 2: Go to “My Account”! Then click on “Add a new image”
    Step 3: Then click on the words “An Image on the Internet” Do not Upload it from your hard drive or it will take a long time to appear at the blogs.
    Step 4: Copy and paste the link of the picture you want on the URL box. Then click “Next” it should be simple after that….

    I can’t wait for the release. Im going to take my best friend and his little brother who are both long tiem Dragonball fans as well as me.The movie is not going to be 100% of a copy but at least to have a live action DragonBall film appear in theaters is an honor. We awaited I believe around 6 years if I recall correctly since our Librarian told us of the rumored movie when I was in 7th grade. I hope the film franchise becomes popular enough to make a good series of films and even bring DB back to popular glory. I know a lot of people who are not up to the idea of this movie but I know they are going to see it anyways. As me and my friend discussed, if everything was exactly the same there wouldn’t be a surprise. It’s also fun seeing how certain characters are betrayed such as Mai becoming a deadly assasin compared the the previous team rocket style role she had.
