DBZ live action movie

[The Scarecrow.]

I was at my doctor's office when I read I the DBZ magazine that they are makeing a live action movie of the frezia saga. So I want to know what you think about that, and who could be the cast.

I've herd Vin Deisel as Frezia

[Sofa King]

WOW! FOR REAL?

I mean, I had a sneaking suspicion that they might be doing this after reading the 10,000 other threads regarding who will/should be cast in the DBZ movie, but, man, this just blows me away!

[Psycho Hulk]

Oh be nice!

[Psycho Hulk]

Supposedly,

Vegata will be played by Jet Li...

I dunno though. It probally be like Matrix Effects

It's more of a problem of people not reading what topics are already on the forum before they post. It's like people who ask questions before they read the FAQ, which nine times out of ten already answers the question.

[MarvelMovies]

Once I read what magazine it is that he read... and then pick up the magazine and read it for myself... I'm not going to believe it

[Captain America]

Yeah, tell us the Magazine! Did they say anything about certain Actors or On Scene shots? We need info here!

[The Scarecrow.]

It was the DBZ magazine I read the artical in All it said is the they script was done and it would probably be the Freizia saga or the sayan saga with Vegeta and Napa,but you must under stand that this will be one of the most kept under raps films of all time.

The rumors are Jet Li as Vegeta And Vin Diesel as Freizia

[JINoside]

Jet Li......as Vegeta?!?........

What the hell??:eek: You said the same thing to Captain America(the poster) for the same situation:D:D........

:D:o:p

[Dik Cok]

Jet Li as Vegeta would be great!

[vegeta21]

If I had it my way the movies go like this :

DB 1: a 15 year old Goku (12 years old would be too young methinks) who lived in the woods all his life and taught matial arts by his late adoptive grandfather Gohan, who left him his sacred possession to him, his 4 star dragonball. An 18 year old Bulma is searching for the 7 dragonballs to wish for the perfect man. Her search leads to Goku, whom she convinces to come along with her. Meanwhile the incompitant emperor Pilaf also has plans for these balls, to rule the world. Goku and Bulma's search leads them to Gohan's former master, Kammesin Roshi. Roshi has another dragonball. He tells them the tale of when he was a young man, he defeated an evil demon. This demon's name was Piccolo, the evil half of Kami, the guardian of the earth. He used a powerfull technique called the Kamehameha Wave to imprison Piccolo in a sacred jar. As a reward, Kami gave roshi 3 Dragonballs, which Roshi gave one to Gohan and the other to his other student The Ox King. Roshi tells them about a martial art's tournament, which the Ox King is holding. The prize is his Dragonball. Roshi see's potential in Goku, so he decide's to train him along with his other student Krillin. After months of rigorous training they are ready to enter the tounament. Goku manages to make it past opponents Yamch and Tien. Krillen defeats Chou-Tsu, but is eliminated by Tien. In the last round Goku faces the Ox-King's daughter Chi-chi. She puts up quite a fight, but the fight is interrupted by Emperor Pilaf who has an announcement to make. He know's that all of the 7 dragonballs are there and that he wants them to hand them over, or he will release the demon piccolo. No one believes him, but he proves them wrong by releasing the demon king. He commands Piccolo to get him the 7 balls but Piccolo takes orders from no one. He kills Pilaf, Krillin, Chou-Tsu and takes the Seven Dragonballs and summons the dragon Shen Ron and wishes to restore his youth and strength. He then kills shen-ron and heads to Kami's look out tower were he imprison's Kami and his servant Mr. Popo in the jar. The Ox-King gives Goku the sacred flying Nimbus. Goku, Tien and Yamcha head to Kami's tower and confront the demon king. They put up a good fight but are beaten to near death. The fight ends up back on earth where it is now nightime and a full moon at that. Goku, catching his first ever glimpse of a full moon transforms into a giant monkey creature and nearly destroys Piccolo. However, piccolo cuts off goku's tail which reduces him back to his normal self. Chi Chi interfere's but Piccolo kills her too. Goku in full rage unleasehes the mighty Kamehameha wave which puts a whole through Piccolo's chest, killing him. However, before his death, Piccolo spits out an egg, which hatches and a new piccolo is born. Goku, who is too weak to fight, let's him walk away, then passes out. When Goku comes to, he finds himself on Kami's tower, where Kami has been freed by Yamcha and Tien. Kami tells him he can create a new dragon and they use the DB's to ressurect the victims of piccolo. Everyone lives happily ever after (for now). Bulma leaves with her new boyfriend Yamcha and Goku leaves with his new girlfriend Chi-Chi.

Stay tuned for my post for DB2.

Jet Li can't act! He just makes for kick ass action.

[Acro]

Nothing has been confirmed in the cast section yet, but Jet Li has probably been the most talked about in the parts of Goku or Vegeta.
This however HAS been confirmed at www.dragonballz.com.
Fox has the rights and are doing at least three films about 3-4 hours long each. Filming will begin in June or August 2004 and the first film (the Saiyajin saga) will be out in Spring 2005.

[blind_fury]

donnie darko as gohan.

[Maddness]

um Acro, none of that has been confirmed, if you read the article correctly, it is information sent in from a fan..


from a fan site.. i've read that fan site. .and at the bottom of the post it says "None of this Information is Confirmed"



so no nothing is confirmed



but riddle me this... why is the official news for DBZ... DBZ.com the people who make it... getting rumors from fan sites??


wouldn't they be the ones getting all the official scoops.. to me.. if the official site has to look around for rumors... something is definatly wrong

THat's because you did the exactly same thing! So you get the exactly same response! :p

In that mag I read(the DBZone) They had Keenu reeves as a teenage gohan. Although, Like it was already stated. The names and pics in the DBZ mag, where not official! I just figured I say this...

[Psycho Hulk]

I still wish this movie was done in all CGI. I would feel so much better. But if they can make it work. be my Guest!!!

[Acro]

Of course they can make it work.
You have to look beyond the anime and see how it could look IRL. Waht changes you have to make to make it look cool and such. Gokus hair for example will probably not look the way it does in the anime and that´s a good thing! Imagine a real actor with hair like that. It looks cool in the anime, but that´s because the rest of the characters face, limbs and general anatomy is incorrect to a normal humans. So when dealing with a live action movie you have to look past that.
X-MEN would have sucked if everyone had the colourful spandex costumes as they do in the comic in the film, wouldn´t it?
Such changes must be done in DB too to make it work.
And all the CGI will probably make it a worthy competator to both The Matrix and Spiderman 2

[Psycho Hulk]

*Has horrible flashbacks of the Streetfighter movie*

The Pain...the Agony....

[ShadowGamer]

With the cast, I think they should pick some lesser known actors, they would be cheaper and the rest of the movie (sets, special effects, ect) would have more moeny put into it. With all the attacks, settings and characters in Dragonball Z, it will need a good budget and they can save the budget with cheaper actors who are trying to get their name into the industry. I mean, for the Saiya-jin saga alone they need...

Son Goku
Son Gohan
Chi Chi
Bulma
Kuririn
Vegeta
Nappa
Raditz
Choatzu
Tenshinhan
Yajirobe
Yamucha
Kamesenin
Piccolo
The Earth Kami
North Kaio
A model for the CGI King Emma
A model for the CGI Saibamen
And a bunch of extra's (possibly including the farmer)
Plus, if they did an opening scene featuring Goku's orgin they would need an actor for Bardock.

And don't even get me started on the Furiza saga. I guess less improtant characters can be cut out (Choatzu is useless by the time Z begins, someone else could get the sword instead of Yajirobe) for the Saiya-jin saga, and god knows how many could be removed from the Furiza saga (can you say Dodoria?)

[dieanotherday]

fox better be making it lol or sony they wont dissapoint

The Streetfighter movie or Power Ranger movie, is exactly what this hunk of 'Dragon Ball Z' junk is going to be, if they are stupid enough to put it on screen. Hell, not even the Pokemon fans supported its movie. MORE MINDLESS ACTION. It's a flop waiting to happen.

[M.A.D Agent]

There shouldnt be a DBZ movie live action movie. They are gonna kill dragonball with it. Why would they do this, there's a reason it hasn't been done becuz it can't be done. It will look so campy, no mather how you go at it, if you try to make it serious it wont work. If you try to make if funny it wont work. I mean c'mon do we really want another Super Mario or Street Fighter? This is wat happens when hollywood gets japanese lisence material. They ruin it. Mark my words, if they make a DBZ movie it will suck big time because its made in hollywood.

P.S. everyone go to see Shaolin Soccer, if you like dragonball you will love this movie, I KID YOU NOT.

But it has already been done.


Check out Dragonball: The Magic Begins.

[M.A.D Agent]

Maddness, I stand corrected your right, it has been done. Let me rephrase what i said, "it can't be done properly or well"

[The Carnage]

A DBZ live action movie? We're doomed.

[MaJiN]

I know I was for this live action idea, but to be honest, what the hell is FOX smoking on? Minnie Me as Krillin? Jackie Chan as Goku?

I have a better idea. Instead of a live action DBZ movie, why don't Akira Toryama do a long animated film based on the entire Sayain saga with better animation, fighing, and character designs because some episodes were done by horrible artists.

[venom892]

Man I heard hugh jackman might be goku and akira toriyama has no control over the movie:eek:

[Nathan]

I can already see DBZ mutating into something like Street Fighter the Movie or Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

[Captain Dumas]

jackman would make a good goku, but i hope its not true about toriyama not having any control cause then the film is doomed.

i liked MaJiN's idea of reanimating the saiyin saga. id def. see that.

[Nathan]

Jackman good as Goku?!?!?! o_O

No offence, but are you high?

[Captain Dumas]

nope. and offence has been taken.

why is jackman so bad for goku. he looks kinda like goku, has about the same height. hes not as buff as goku but he can buff up more. he can do action scenes. whats wrong with him?

[Nathan]

-_-' First, don't think I have anything against Jackman, but one clear look at him and you would know that this man isn't made for the role of Goku.

[venom892]

Goku is a playful, uber-naive, and childlike character. And Goku must also look like a person who never grew up. Also, the actors must at least have a bit similarity with the characters they are playing.

Jackman might have been a perfect Wolverine, but I really don't see the character Goku in him.

Goldberg as Nappa = Perfect
Ray Park as Vegeta = I could live with it
Hugh Jackman as Goku = No way


And no matter who they will cast, deep inside of me, I really hope that they will scrap the DBZ Life Action Movie idea.

[Captain Dumas]

so u dont think jackman can act like a childish adult?

I did... -_-

[Captain Dumas]

that isnt saying his face is not right. all you said is that jackman does not look similar to goku..

but whatever, jackman has been fired i guess so i dont matter

[Wolfwood]

...was it ever official that Jackman was hired to be Goku?

As the days go by an increasing part of me is not wanting there to be a DBZ movie.

[Captain Dumas]

i dont think there has ever been any official info on it other than fox has the rights to make a dbz live action movie.

rumor has it that the movie is being done in secret and that jackman was hired for the role of goku but held up production and was fired.

[venom892]

Hre's some more news.Roland Emmerich is on to be the director.His credits include universal solider,stargate,independence day,godzilla and the patriot.That's all for now.

[Captain Dumas]

thast old news, ive heard taht before i think.

The fact that Fox has the rights to the DBZ series for making amovie is really worrying. :csad:
I hope to god they don't "ground the movie to realism" and essentially don't make the characters fly :cmad:
