Saiyan Island

in regard of that vote graph on the left, 73 % of you want a sequel. Im surpised. Glad to hear that not 99%. Anyway, i still believe, there will be no sequel. But if miracles exists and evolution will have a sequel, FOX better dont fuck this up.

Zgirl:
I respond to you question: – I am a fan of Dragonball / Z.
Not Dragonball Evolution.
This 2 things have nothing common. I hope Evolution is the first and last movie, who ruins DBZ.

@Gosha: yeah, we were also kids when we saw batman, and look at the dark knight,, and batman cartoon is half as violent as dragonball,, so yeah,, we arent crazy to expect a dark, pg 13 dragonball movie…

and this movie is mainly about a mix of the piccolo sagas(a very bad attempt of it), and if you watch them again, you will notice they are pretty violent,, not as much as dbz, but pretty close

anyway, i hope there is a sequel,, but i would be very surprised if they ever make one

there’s not going to be a sequal
James Marsters may say it’s true,but its not how the movie industry works. DBE couldn’t even make back its budget.The dragonball movie franchise is gonna be quiet for another 10 to 20 years,at least.Hard to believe this movie couldn’t even make 10 mil domesticly,

@Gosha: Yea i understand that, but both the Dragonball and DBZ manga were never intended for small kids, and the only reason a lot of people don’t get that is because A: they don’t know the manga, and/or B: the english anime was mildly watered down to make it “kid friendly”. And I’m not saying kid fans are not a factor in making this movie, BUT these kids have also seen hero movies like Spider man and as nanjiro said the Dark Knight, soo yea a PG-13 movie wouldn’t hurt anyone. And I’m really curious if there are large amounts of kid dbz fans out there right now (and when I say kids I’m talkin 10 nd under). I thought the show wasn’t playing anymore, buut I don’t know that for a fact, so someone correct me if I’m wrong lol. But assuming I am right, what kid audience was Fox making this for exactly? To an ENTIRE generation that knows nothing about DB/Z, instead of an ENTIRE OLDER AUDIENCE who IS familiar with it? Play it smart next time Fox, PG-13 or higher!

@Destroyer: Good to know, but it was hard to tell considering how you bash others so badly for no particular reason.

When did I start to worry that DBE was going to bomb?
- When I saw that Master Roshi had no beard
- When I heard Master Roshi in a commercial mispronounce Gohan’s name by using a vowel sound that the Japanese language doesn’t even have
- When I saw that Piccolo had no antennae
- When I heard that Goku was a high school student
- When I heard that Krillin (KRILLIN!!!) was being replaced with a new high school budy for Goku
- When I saw photos of the men behind the script and its revision

If this is true I wont lie…. Im happy about it. I just hope that this time around they put a LOT more action and they dont end the final fight 40 seconds into it……

Sequel no sequel

Quit now just shut up your beyond annoying quit making shit up you’ll see your saying james marsters a real actor doesnt know whats going on? Who the hell are you a executive at fox lmao give me a break.

I really hope that if there is another db(z) film that no one from db:e is involved with it in any way. None of the actors, none of the producers, no one. Really, what needs to happen is for a decent studio to pick it up. Fox was the worst thing that could have ever happened to db. They failed miserably with db:e because they put absolutely nothing into it and expected it to do poorly from the start. Why even bother making a film with such an attitude? I don’t care about all the things like having everything match up exactly to the anime. All I want is a decent film adaptation with competent people involved. It doesn’t have to start out as some insanely huge blockbuster film, but should have a reasonable budget for an action movie, not be aimed exclusively at little kids (PG-13 please), and actually advertised so people know it exists.

Zgirl:
I dont bash others, i bash the movie, i think i have a good reason for that, but when some one atack me a i give it back. But normally i love you all . In a normal way.
So Piece

james wong is not the problem it’s fox, james marster say so, and james wong is not a bad.

@Son Goku: for all we know, this interview could have been before the movie bombed in america,, and to my eyes, it bombed worldwide,,, making less than 60m with a fanbase as huge as the dragonball fanbase is a complete failure

so yeah, its not crazy for him or anyone to think that there wont be a sequel… james marsters is very cool, but he was wrong about the budget way back, he thought it was 100m,, so he could be wrong about this too,,, and he probably is

@ssjgoten: yeah,, thats pretty much what i feel,, unfortunately, i doubt another studio will ever pick it up,, but we can still hope

Nanjiro

Why are you so negative all the damn time an your right another studio wont pick it up. so cut our losses an hope fox dont fudge up another if they do then well were fucked an its over we still got the anime. If they do pull it off nice an make a good movie which they could do if they actually try an give it the treatment it deserves we all can be happy.

@Destroyer: Well you’re certainly not as bad as others on this page, so I take it back then. lol

@gohan48071: I don’t think Wong is bad, I just feel he wasn’t right for this type of movie. I’ve never seen any of his other work, but I hear its not bad. But him for DB just didn’t work out (clearly), and the only reason I believe that is because of how he spoke about DB in interviews. You could just tell he didn’t get it, almost did, but not enough to make this movie everything it could’ve bee. But obviously Fox had a big part in the f*** ups too.

Just want to say thanx for keeping us updated Adam,your the best man!

didnt anyone find it wierd and stupid how gohan, goku and chi-chi all share there birthday on the same day. Also i do think wong is a bad director, he atleast could of at least made the story make sence and limit plot holes and the script sucked, the script sucked Dragonballs. He was just not the right person for the job.

Nelson 18
they didnt all have their birthdays on the same day. gohan made the dinner for goku. and chichi just had a party becuz shes rich and has the money to have random parties. goku was the only one to have a birthday on that specific day.

The budget has to be bigger if the movie is going to be great. Transformers had a budget of 100 million, Transformer 2’s budget was 150 million, GI Joe’s budget is 170 million, Terminator Salvation’s budget was 200 million, Wolverine’s budget was 100 million, Green Lantern’s budget will be 150 million, and James Cameron’s Avator will be OVER 240 MILLION…supposely. You would think Fox could share some of that 240 million for Dragonball. Avator: The Last Airbender will have a bigger budget too. I’m gonna to have a bitch fit if DBE 2 doesn’t have a budget of at least 80 million, I’m not asking for 100 million but not 45-50 million. Please FOX don’t give DBE 2 a low budget…again. I like the movie and want an EPIC battle between Goku and Vegeta, or Goku and Piccolo Jr. I think FOX doesn’t think Dragonball can be big like franchise like Spiderman, X-Men, Ironman, or Batman, but it can. Dragonball’s fan base it huge worldwide and my guess is bigger than say……Deadpool. Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge Marvel movie fan and an so pump to see The Avengers movie, but I would rather see a great Dragonball movie then a great Deadpool movie. Deadpool is more of a cult favorite superhero and Dragonball is more famous than Deadpool and can be a bigger hit worldwide. I hope FOX realizes this and makes Dragonball Evolution 2 better by making the movie with a big budget, AND STAYING THE HELL AWAY. For Deadpool they are giving Ryan Reynolds lots of power because he knows his Deadpool stuff. I HOPE they do this with James Marsters and let him have some say in how the movie is done because they obviously don’t understand Dragonball

I’d be curious to see a sequel, but this interview was printed in a magazine a month ago, and chances are the interview was done well over a month before that magazine was published, i.e. before Dragonball Evolution even came out. What were you thinking publishing this bit of news without saying so?

It’s not like James Marsters said this yesterday. Since then the movie has come out, done badly in the US and probably not quite well enough to redeem itself overseas, months have passed, James Marsters has done the tour he mentioned and is already back working on other productions, not anything Dragonball…the interview is outdated and probably wrong.

@Stevie B:

about wolverine It was just boring to me its not horrible just boring and the action was at least decent very disapointing but thats just me. DBE 2 dont need a 100-200 mill budget and i agree about it having a 70-80 mill budget cause they did well IMO with only 50 mill for that movie 70-80 mill budget is perfect for that movie more could be good too, and in my opinion the protesters had little to do with the movie doing bad its just that FOX didnt promote it enough (Ive seen the ads plenty of times but i get what others are saying) so to say that protesters had alot to do with the movie doing bad is giving them too much credit. I like the movie for what it is and i didnt talk about what could have been cause I was satisfied with what I’ve seen and enjoyed it a lot and had fun with DBE, I bet if it weren’t for the writers strike and other things that go against this movie im sure that it would do better, for the sequal it seems to be much more prepared with since they have written a script for it planning ahead for the movie. They can’t stay 100% true to DB because in all honesty it would look stupid and retarded in live action and it would be predictable and boring as for krillen they dont really need him they could have him in there but they dont NEED him to move the story along. Well that my 2 cents and also.
SUPERBEARS SUPERBOWL

t-moore

Why would fox want to invest more money into a movie that did terrible in box-office because know there is a chance that the sequel will just do as bad as DBE and the protesters are not the main people responsible for this movie poor preformance. If all the protesters went to go and watch this movie i will say we would of gained an extra $3000 and that is not a difference and i am sure every fan wants krillin and if you say they dont need krillin what are you going to say next they dont need tien or vegeta.

@nelson18: As much as I like Krillin and Tien, they don’t need them to move the story along. Vegeta on the other hand is needed if they plan to go Z with the sequel, so I think your analogy is very poor.

@nelson18:
I said that the protesters were not the reason of it bombing i was aware of being the movie being prepared poorly and as for krillen IF they are doing a DB movie again they dont need him yet tien i would add in a DB movie and they can put Krillen in there but as i remember other than the touraments he didn’t have real big moments until DBZ came around. If they are planning to do a DBZ movie for the sequal then i agree Krillen should be in that movie since he had done a lot more in that series than DB when he fought in tournaments and the RR army that i heard that was filler but idk it just depends on what direction they are going with it if they dont have a sequal oh well there’s nothing I can do about it it if they did cool i could see it and im sure there have been movies that done horribly in the boxoffice and get a chance at a sequal so this wont be different IF it goes through im just a movie goer who happens to be a fan of DB hell it could be a direct to dvd movie or another theater run it wont suprise me if it went to DVD or another theater run i dont know about every fan wanting krillen in the movie cause i do have some friends that understand and didn’t mind him being in the movie im sure that MOST fans want krillen in the movie but I can deal with him not being in it for now they shouldn’t overload on characters IMO like i said Krillen is important just more so in DBZ other than DB but i dont think that he wouldn’t have as big part IF they are still on DB and not DBZ. And again I repeat I know if there was no protesting or nothing it wouldn’t help at all even if the movie was 100% true it would not make any more money than it made now because only the fans would watch it and others would look at it and think what i was thinking when i 1st heard of the DB movie it would not look right in live action and i dont want to see talking animals or dinosaurs in that movie it would look honestly IMO stupid and needless. Like i said before I enjoyed it for what it is not thinking what it could have been sure maybe it could have been better but I wasn’t thinking that after i walked out of the theater and the friends i saw it with felt the same we enjoyed it and I was happy with and had a fun time watching the movie. I dont know how you feel about the movie but i can’t speak for you but i do respect your opinion and that you didn’t come and flame me like some others would and i respect you for that.

@gram18:

I agree they dont need Krillen or tien to move the story on, Vegeta is too important to cut and I assume that they know it, it wouldn’t hurt to have Krillen or Tien but you dont NEED them as much as you need Vegeta, I like all of them but they could have either one or the other but you’re right they are not as needed as Vegeta

@Stevie B: Very well said, I couldn’t agree more. Fox clearly had no idea how big this franchise is when they took on the project, hence why they put such low expectations. DB could totally be as big as the marvel movies because its known world wide, JUST like marvel. However I wouldn’t be surprised if this time around they only put a 50 mill budget, because Fox is just stupid that way.

@gram18: And I’d have to agree with you on the Krillin nd Tien thing. As much as I loved them in the show, they don’t technically need them with the way this movie was done. However I was surprised they kept Yamcha and NOT Krillin, considering that Krillin’s role never really dies down, while both Yamcha and Tien’s kind of do half way through DBZ. I would still hope they miight put Krillin in, but I seriously doubt they will. Either way its not a make of break thing for me, but I know it is for some people.

t-moor

Sorry i misunderstood your point i get what you mean know.

gram18

Dont insult me. I misunderstood t-moor’s point.

i was seing jimmy fullon and in one of the interviews, they said that the director of the terminator salvation ask the fans to go to the set and actually asked them if they think if he should change something because he wanted to please the hardcore fans of the terminator spinoff. i say hire that guy to direct dragonball

i was seing jimmy fullon and in one of the interviews, they said that the director of the terminator salvation ask the fans to go to the set and actually asked them if they think if he should change something because he wanted to please the hardcore fans of the terminator spinoff. i say hire that guy to direct dragonball

@nelson18:

No problem my friend no problem at all.

Hold on! If James is going to be in this movie then are we saying this is going to be another Piccolo movie and not move on to something more important. I mean, I know that DBE can do better but if its about the same Piccolo then It can’t improve that much! but I got an open mind toward this New DBZ but I don’t want 2 of the same movies, come on now! Should Move on to Raditz

@helioSSJ: gaawd could you imagine having a director, who actually cared about the fans, working on DB? One can only dream! lmao

@DesyDes216: Well either way Piccolo has to be in the next one even if they move on to Raditz and the sayains, because thats where Piccolo turns good guy on everyone. I’m pretty sure you’ve got nothing to worry about on that issue…assuming Fox isn’t as stupid as they look.

@nelson18:
I did not insult you, I said the analogy you created is in my opinion very poor, I am sorry if you felt you were being attacked, but what I said was not meant to be and does not qualify as an insult.

@Zgirl:
I was surprised to see Yamcha too for the same reason. His role couldn’t fit in the script, so I think he was there just for the sake of it anyway.

But again, if you wanna put a character there just for the sake of it, Krillin is a lot more popular with the fans and, as you said, his part is not severely toned down as those of Yamcha’s and especially Tien’s after the Cell saga.

In the end, you have to think like the execs. The couldn’t have a female lead without a love interest and that’s where Yamcha comes in. Pretty sad, as the chemistry between Yamcha and Bulma was nonexistent and I felt their flirting was the most rushed and out of context bit in the film. It also made the film look even more formulatic.

Bring on the sequel baby. I just want Fox to be left out of this. Those idiots were the ones calling the shots not the director persay. Even the creator wanted to have some part, but the big ass idiots at Fox refused. lol. I see the potential for the movie.

@Daniel D.:
I don’t recall reading that anywhere, where did you get that information from?

noooooooooooooooooo i want a reboot not a direct sequel, there wasnt enough blood like animee, its widely hated, i wanted a epic, not a average dragonball

@gram18: That’s completely true. That was the most pointless and forced chemistry ever done in a movie, and you basically had to assume all of it for yourself. lol Then again, you had to assume a lot of the plot because there were so many gaps. lol

It was actually mentioned here sometime ago, I forgot when, but it is true that Fox wanted pretty much total control of the movie.

@Daniel D.: See, now why would they do that, then go out and say they put extremely low expectations, and basically didn’t care what happened? If you don’t want to be apart of it, or you just don’t give two shits, why bother having all the control? Let someone else who CARES work on it and make you money!!!

@Daniel D.:
Well, if you can’t find his source, I’d say don’t believe it, as there seems to be many fanatics around with the “blame everything on the studio” attitude.

@ronnie42
Dragonball never really had that much blood in the first place. DBZ yeah but not DB

@stephen: Yea but the battle between Piccolo and Goku was bloody and awesome, and since that was the focus of this movie, it should’ve been like that.

@Son Goku: im so negative because fox proved how little respect they have for dragonball and dragonball fans,, so you cant expect much from them, they already screwed us badly a few months back, remember dbe??

by the way, i was one of the most optimistic persons around here, up until i saw what they did with dragonball,, so, after this piece of crap, i have every right to complain about what they did,,,

obviously, i dont want the dragonball movies to end here, otherwise i wouldnt come any more to this site,,, i want a reboot, or at least a sequel,, and hope they do it justice this time, but get real man,, the chances of that are very slim

The final episodes of dragonball had more blood from dragonball z especially the fight with piccolo and goku bloody battle and heavy hits holes in bodies arm rips hands and foot broken and stuff like that.I hope the sequel will be better from this pathetic piece of shit movie i hope they will understand their mistakes.

things they need to amp up for the 2nd film
-Character devolpement
-Longer fight scenes filled with insane action flying ect
-PIccol needs more screen time
-Goku to wear his iconic clothing instead of street clothing
-More obvious Capsulecorp logos
-More characters from the Dragonball world
-the villain should be terrifying
-DO NOT ADD ANYTHING THAT WOULD NOT BE IN THE DRAGONBALL UNIVERSE!!!!
-Dig deeper into the source Material
- Branch out the dragonball world all we really saw was a desert,volcano,city

ANYONE WHO IS WORKING ON THE SECOND FILM JUST FUCKING WATCH A DBZ MOVIE OR THE SHOW be inspired to make an EPIC FILM not some dumbed down low budget film if you want a real Dragonball movie Script e-mail me Iv got one that will put ben/james wong to shame and it took me a week to write!

We clearly know with the first film James Marsters was stressing to “fox” how dragonball should be and you can clearly see from what they did show of piccolo he braught his A game

@zgirl

Point proven! lol i stand corrected

@Walsh: “Dig deeper into the source Material- Branch out the dragonball world”, hell hell yes!! DB has so much to offer, and there are so many subtle things that Toriyama never got to expand on that THEY CAN WORK WITH! I don’t understand how the could screw this up THAT badly. And your right about marsters, he worked with what he got and he worked it hard. I wonder if this time around him and the rest of the cast will actually put in their two cents where it counts…then again how much can they honestly do against the producers and stuff right?

@stephen: Not gonna lie, that saga was my favorite out of DB/Z. It was just perfect in every way, aand the battle scene was just amazing! Again, how could they screw that up THIS badly.

What future for the character of Yamcha?

James Wong has a lot of work. The director of the first album have a nice 50M € for a new movie, thanks to the box office for Dragon Ball Evolution, but nothing is easy. Even more so than the first, where fans were able to go and wait indulgent work done by the team of director James Wong and producer Stephen Chow. Everyone wants to know today what will be done, as on the means at hand or the players, this new film. And all this started there were just over 1 week. James Marsters said in an interview that the shooting will begin in September 2010, if not earlier. And then, after his statements, while the media went to the fishing news. From there, the first information began to circulate. 2 days ago on the South American newspaper El Siglo reported that, in addition to May and students who are not present, would also Yamcha of the wide wash of the Twentieth Century Fox.

It is a certainty: Eriko Tamura (Mai) and the students do not sign for a second volume. But one of the biggest uncertainty concerns the role of Yamcha, played by Joon Park. According to our correspondent, this information is false. Attached to us by phone, Joon Park is said be “surprised” by his “lies” and its “unverified”, we said Joon Park. However, it has, contrary to James Marsters received no green light from the production company and is amazed at the statements Marsters. Reportedly, 4 actors, at least, will appear in this film

sorry for the bad translation

@helioSSJ: I don’t understand…soo not only is james wong still possibly directing…but this joon park is saying there wont be a sequel, or that he’s just not in it? I may have just miss read it, cuz i’m ditzy that way. lol Where was this article from?
