Sequel’s Script Already Written?

February 18th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Sci-FiNow talked with Justin Chatwin (Goku) who spilled to them that the sequel to Dragonball Evolution has already been written.

Dragonball: Evolution, the first live-action adaptation of the popular manga, hasn’t even hit our screens yet, but the script for a proposed sequel has already been written, according to Justin Chatwin, who plays Goku in the upcoming film.

Speaking to SciFiNow last month, the 26-year-old actor said that he was signed on for potential sequels, and that he was excited about the prospect: “If there were to be a sequel I think it… well, I know that it would go to a really interesting place, because they already have the second script written.” When pressed for details, Chatwin revealed a little more about the direction of the celluloid version of the franchise. “It’s really, really cool. The second one goes more into the whole legacy and the genealogy of Dragonball. It goes more in-depth into a real Dragonball series, the kind of intergalactic world of Dragonball.”

dragonball.saiyanisland.com was tipped similar information earlier by a trusted scooper. The tentative title for this alleged script is Dragonball Reborn, but of course nothing has been green lit yet.

    Again, what is wrong with you people!? Namek? Save that for the Frieza Saga.

    Justin Chatwin means the in-depth explanation of the Saiyans and Planet Vegeta. And how the race almost got extinct and how their home planet got destroyed.

    by intergalactic I believe they mean this will help the characters become aware of the other planets and planes of existence. The history of the saiyans, the existence of namek and the NOT EVIL namekians. God damn it, Ben Ramsey is a jack ass for not knowing enough about the series to know Namekians are pure hearted and that Piccolo was pretty much the demon child of the species.

    I hope Reborn revolves around the death and rebirth of Goku, and the battle of saiyan versus saiyan. Oozaru Vegeta VS The Chosen One :P . Piccolo’s “rebirth” as a warrior of good, after his murdering of goku to stop Raditz.

    The sequel HAS to be 2 hours, with all the characters. Actually I’m surprised this movie isn’t 2 hours with Piccolo, Mai and Fulum assasins. Doesn’t give time for character developement of mai but thank god the fulum don’t need any characterization besides how they walk and act.

    I think it a bad thing to have the sequel script finish now. They should wail after the first movie, then write the second script.

    February 18th, 2009 at 12:36 | #22

    Can’t wait. Vegeta and his Saiyan pals will make Lord Piccolo look like feathers to them. LOL

    If Goku happens to die in this one or beginning of the sequel then Dragonball:Reborn is perfect.
    If not then it should be Dragonball:Invasion or Dragonball:The Prince has come to whip your ass Kakorot.

    rise of is super gay just make it simple

    Dragon Ball
    the saiyans

    you canyt say things like the wrath pf frieza, it comes off as cheesy and gay

    February 18th, 2009 at 13:12 | #25

    Dragonball:Rise of the Saiyans

    That is stupid. Some of you need to think it over. How can they rise if the Saiyan race and their home planet was destroyed by Frieza by the time Goku was sent to earth as an infant.

    I think they should make a prequel
    Dragonball
    Saiyan Origins
    everything about saiyans and their near extinction. that would be badass

    hold on guys calm yourself down first of all it says “If there were to be a sequel” right now theres no sequel only until this first movie does well.

    with a title called Dragonball: Reborn sounds more like a reboot of the film so thats not a good idea for a sequel its only good for a reboot. the film no way will call DBZ cause this Dragonball movie is completey different from the anime most likely will be called something else.

    Dragonball: Eternal seems a good idea for a sequel
    Dragonball: Rise of the Saiyans is a bad idea cause there is too many films with “Rise of…” most likely the film studios wont go with that.

    Dragonball:Invasion is a good idea its straight to the point.

    heres some of my ideas

    Dragonball: Armageddon
    Dragonball: Age of the Saiyans
    Dragonbal: Intervention
    Dragonball: Genesis
    Dragonball: Generations

    February 18th, 2009 at 13:42 | #28

    i dont like genesis

    studios jus throw it on to sound coool

    i like invasion

    and just the saiyans

    frieza should at least be mentioned in the second film to precipatate the 3rd

    Well I’m hoping I’m not speaking out of ignorance here, I skipped a few pages because I refused to read the spoilers. Please keep them to yourself, if you can. Consider that if this follows the original then the Dragon will be destroyed after Piccolo gets his wish. So there’s an important clue to go with Chatwin’s comment about where a sequel will go. Kind of disappointed about the rating, it brings a younger crowd into the theater, but I don’t know whether that will enhance the box office take or not. Perhaps we’ll have to wait for the sequel for a more mature movie. :?

    OH MY GOD IS THIS FOR REAL?????
    WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
    I WONDER WHO IS GONNA BE THE BAD GUY!!!?!?!?!?
    I LOVE DRAGONBALL: REBORN!!! ITS SUCH A COOL NAME!!!
    I JUST PISSED MY PANTS RIGHT NOW I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!
    I HOPE ITS WITH THE SAIYANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(it probably will be)
    i really think they should do like the first half of the movie with saiyans and then another villain.
    but then again, we don’t really want another spiderman3 movie here…
    maybe like the whole movie is saiyans and at the very end it shows a hint about the next villain!!!
    I AM SO HYPED!!!!!

    THIS MOVIE (AND IT’S POSSIBLE SEQUEL) WILL BE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    I’m thinkin they should name it Dragonball: Kakorot. We as fans of the series understand that but for those who don’t know the series will wonder what they mean. Then it will make those people want to see the sequal even more. As for the rest of us, well, I just can wait!!!!!!!

    February 18th, 2009 at 14:39 | #32

    They will drop Vegeta like they did Krillin and make up a whole new fucking character…..just wait.

  35. February 18th, 2009 at 15:15 | #35

    WOW!! This is exciting news
    YESSSSSSSSSS they already written the sequel. WHOA The Sequel is going to be HUGE!!
    I like when Chatwin said….
    “It goes more in-depth into a real Dragonball series, the kind of intergalactic world of Dragonball.”

    Cool, But the name should be “Dragonball Z” or “Dragonball: Invasion”
    Dragonball Reborn???? No, NO, NOOOO!!

    February 18th, 2009 at 15:16 | #36

    @Titus

    most likely they will drop Nappa or Raditz LOL

    What about Dragonball: The Arrival lol, no?

  38. February 18th, 2009 at 15:44 | #38

    I don’t like that name “Dragonball: Reborn”!! I hope they don’t call it that

    Dragonball Z or “Dragonball: Invasion” sounds way more exciting

    Dragonball Reborn sounds to much like a reboot

    So there were two rumours of this movie

    PG and 80 minutes long.

    PG has turned out to be correct.

    If 80 minutes turns out to be right as well then I will be very dissapointed. :cry: It is toooo short.

    I hope it is 90+ minutes but I just realized that Jumper (fox movie) was 84 minutes and PG-13.

  41. February 18th, 2009 at 16:00 | #41

    Here’s my fingers crossed that it goes the way of Batman Triumphant.

  42. Miguel
    February 18th, 2009 at 16:06 | #42

    80 mins is 1 hr and 20 mins thats actually alot for a db movie

  43. February 18th, 2009 at 16:40 | #43

    @jb: rise of the saiyans is much better than reborn i agree with u

    I hope this movie doesn’t end with a cliffhanger without knowing how well its gonna do in theaters. I’d love to see sequels but I hate when movies leave it open for more and then fail to make more. If its left open,hopefully its where if they never made a sequel,it still does well as a stand alone film. If Goku has to die,I’d prefer it in the beginning of the sequel and not the end of this one,but I’m pretty sure we have already had confirmation that if there were a sequel,he’d die in the beginning of it. Anywho,hope this movie rocks and does well enough at the box office to warrant sequels. :mrgreen:

    February 18th, 2009 at 16:42 | #45

    uh…DBiscool ,Dragonball Evolution’s running time is 100 minutes, that means its 1 hour and 40 min.
    Now maybe im starting to relieze why the flim was delayed for so long. But then again Justin said “If there were to be a sequel” which means there all just waiting for it to hit the theaters and for the box office ratings. i read something a while back saying “if the flim is a succes at the box-office in its opening weekend, then 2 sequels will be in place” also “the kind of intergalactic world of Dragonball” in my estimation probably mean they mite focus more on the space voyages that happend in DBZ and also “goes more into the whole legacy and the genealogy of Dragonball” will probably mean they mite go into the history and/or legacy of Goku some more and/or Piccolo since during the sayian saga in DBZ when Rattiz arrived we learn about Goku’s past meaning Vegeta could be shown and after the battle with vegeta and nappa we learn about piccolos past

  46. February 18th, 2009 at 16:42 | #46

    @DPA: yeh its sounds like transformer revenge of the fallen.

  47. February 18th, 2009 at 16:46 | #47

    for me they should not made the movie start with piccolo they should start to saiyan saga then piccolo’s vengeance is only short part of it the for the part 2 they said its more inter galactic and that obviously mean that vegeta and freeza is involve now. nappa and raditz is not that so important thay only played short in DBZ. may be ginew forces will be the next assasins.

  48. kick ass
    February 18th, 2009 at 17:14 | #48

    this is really terrible! theyre not gonna do a direct sequal ie. dragonball z , theyre gonna pretty much butcher up some stuff from here and there and do their own thing . wat they did to dragonball is forgiveable , but if they make dragonball z theyre owned butchered mutant love child of power rangers , fox fucked themselves with the whole world .

    February 18th, 2009 at 17:32 | #49

    if piccolo jr is not gonna be in this movie then prolly wut they mean by Dragonball Reborn is when piccolo jr is born and krillin should definitely be in this one because he fought piccolo before any of the other Z fighters did. it even got goku into trying harder at the start of the match when he saw krillin get knocked into the arena rally hard on his back almost breaking his back. maybe mercinary tao is in this one where it would shpw tien fighting him. i heard at the end of the first movie goku will start to fight chi-chi and that’s wjhere the movie ends. anybody agree? i also think the 2nd one should be about goku and piccolo trying to rescue his son gohan and fighting garlic jr. tell me if u all also think it should be about this :mrgreen:
