March 26th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

20th Century Fox has moved back the opening of Dragonball: Evolution two days to Friday, April 10th, 2009 from the previous Wednesday, April 8th release date. I’ve lost count on how many date changes this makes.

    Well at first 20th Century Fox was doing very well for Dragonball Evolution in the uk for instence: Bannes Posters and trailers in the cinema wich all apeared on december 30th 2008 i was very happy then i was like the promotion rocks. Then around febuary 23rd i saw the first Dragonball Evolution Tv Spot wich is nearly a whole 2 months before the movie comes out and that rarley happens usually we see a tv spot for a movie a good 15 days before the release so then i was estactic but only on kids channel so i thought in a while it will move up to normal adult or entertaining channels. Then about a good 15 days before the films release i started seeing loads of billboards,banners,tv spots and promotion on buses for films such as: The Fast And The Furious,Monters vs Aliens,The Haunting In Conneticet,lesbian vampire killers,Mall cop,race to witch mountin, knowing, x-men origins wolverine and by far the worst 17 agian. Then iam like where is Dragonballs Promotion where is all the billboards,banners,tv spots on every channel and promotion on buses. And i gotta say i was very very dissapointed. Sure Bannes Posters and trailers in the cinema and tv spots on kids channels is good but if this movie is to be a succses we need billboards,banners,tv spots on every channel and promotion on buses.

SO FOX PLEASE STEP UP. But i think i heard from odeon cinemas that all these
    billboards,banners,tv spots on every channel and promotion on buses will come 1 week before the movie comes out.

    @moin:
    Yeah, indeed, and some rumors are saying Christophe Lambert will play Lord Rayden again like in the first movie. Same case for Sub Zeros actor as well.
    2009-2010 will be the years of the video game & mangas adaptations:

    Dragonball, Tekken, Virtual Fighter, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.

    Wow, an extra 40min that is basically a new different movie comapred to the 80min asian release…
    The reviews might have scared fox and since the box office across the board in Asia dropped about 50% or more in its second week, maybe they had to add way more footage.

    Hopefully it will be for the better!

    Im so siked for this movie!!!!

    I’ve never really posted a “fanboy” post on here but I think I have to right now…

    I just got my DBE poster and must say that my room looks much better with it in here! This movie will rock just on the fact that it is a DB live action movie!

    Also let’s do a mad lib. Haters fill in the blank with whatever word you think I am saying…

    Well you probably seen a bootleg or a version that doesnt have the extra footage that some places are getting. So you cant really tell anyone the movie’s not great and plus thats your opinion anyhow if theres really 40 extra min then I dont want to hear anything until I see it. Alex if you like it an think it looks cool dont listen to this guy or anyone else.

    Good Evening everyone. We live in Nagoya. We just went to Tokyo to watch this movie.As most of the guys here react about the movie. Yeah we are in the same tack. The Fox just rushed everything and reform a legendary warrior we all loved through the years. We didn’t expect as much impact with the series but at least they pay respect to what we imagine it would be on the big screen. I mean they did it to some of there movies specially the effects but they render less effort to make this movie epic. It really hurts as so much because we’ve grown to this series and end up like this. We watched some news here and the japan movie industry will do a remake of this film on 3D i think. i hope Fox recognized there faults and leave the film to the experts

    @Avantgarde81:
    Do you really think they will not release the movie because of your petition? Lol! This initiative is useless now if you want my opinion, it’s too late…

    The problem with all this story and the haters that are not satisfied with Dragonball Evolution is the fans fantasized too much the past years on what an adaptation of this cult manga would be. I remember rumors saying Hugh Jackman will play Goku, Ray Park -Vegeta and Di Caprio – Trunk, and even the Governator – C-16, lol. Common’ that was unrealistic and none of this happened. So when we start to believe in things like this we can only be disappointed with the result of the movie.

    I think the movie is a good start, it could have been much better of course, but it’s still decent. The next chapter will be better, they will learn the lessons of their mistakes, so everyone can be satisfied again.

    we have and extra 4 minutes not 40

  37. March 30th, 2009 at 05:04 | #38

    @Avantgarde81
    No remake of dragonball, Are you mad or something? :@
    If we get a reboot I would begin with Dragonball Z not dragonball, and com’ on it doesn’t look bad, quite nice in fact, can’t wait for my 15 min extra footage to watch :D Can’t wait for the sequel, liked the last interview from Justin Chatwin
    THAT WAS SO SICK how he talked about Trunks and Vegeta, he was very hyped :D I think he was also very hype for the sequel, there he will meet Vegeta I”m hyped for him lolz :p but he didn’t want to overreact :D but the best interview I think from the cast of dragonball yet! Who is Goku? Justin Chatwin is close to reach the spirit of Goku!
    Not yet we have to wait for the sequel to have a Justin Chatwin matching GOKUS. He’s buttled up inside to go to a supersaiyan but nog quite yet, it’s a power deep inside he needs to reach
    I hope in the third movie they make his transformation epic :D 5 min to load minimum and the blows eyebrow raising, fast fighting omg :p that would be soooooo cool
    I resend haters, I really do :( 8 april in theaters belgium I’m gonna watch it 3 times :D whatever anyone say that it’s crap, raping their beloved dragonball boehoe, dragonball has to fucking evolve, listin to last interview of Justin. He makes a good point. We have to keep this stories intact and this is the way we don’t let those stories slip. Maybe you will in the future have a reboot and you will like it, but I will watch this epic journey of 3 films I hope with joy. Stick those petitions in your ass

    Ok everybody, I know the movie is out in de the cinema’s…
    but i just found a picture of piccolo i had to share with you…the piccolo in the movie is ok, but what if they made it look like this..

    http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=79583

    that’s just a fan that made that…if a fan can make that with his “simple” computer, then why didn’t piccolo look like that in the movie if they have a $100,000,000 budget? :? And I know piccolo i supposed to be old, but i think this picture is much better then the piccolo in the movie…

    Man, I am so lost now with the running time of the film.
    Couldn’t fox just release the movie everywhere with the same running time.
    Its going from 80sumthin to 122 to 84 to 100 to God knows where.
    Im thinking here that maybe some of the extra footage that we may get were the reshoots and such that took place in December .. who knows.

    March 30th, 2009 at 08:41 | #47

    30-40 minutes extra will be welcomed, since the story is overcompressed in the movie. I hope it’s a true rumor. Can someone confirm it?

    guys i got some interesting information . there has been alot of conflict between stephen chow and fox lately. it has been said that when stephen chow was giving his ideas for dragonball, fox and james wong completly ignored him and dismissed his ideas for this movie . and its been said that stephen chow was not happy with this movie . if you dont believe me here is the link…….http://www.2eo.org/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2Jsb2dzLmlnbi5jb20vSV9MSUtFX1RVUlRMRVMvMjAwOS8wMy8wMS8xMTM5MDcv :mrgreen:
