Hi.
What are your thoughts on another movie that takes place in the Dragonball universe? Should they reboot Dragonball properly? Just do a sequel to Dragonball: Evolution? Or start fresh with a Dragonball Z movie ignoring DB:E completely?
 
I say start fresh with a DBZ movie ignoring DB:E completely. I'd rather not see them carry over stuff like the way Goku's kamehameha move looks into a sequel.
 
start fresh and ignore dragon ball. start with DBZ. DBZ is more sci-fi than fantasy so it should be taken more seriously if done correctly.
 
complete reboot.

and do a clever purist version or don't bother.
 
are things that are okay to exclude or alter like the talking animals or t-rex?
 
After the travesty that was DB:E I've lost faith that a proper DBZ movie will ever be made.Fox still has the rights for the next few years I believe and I certainly don't want a sequel.In fact I don't think any studio will touch the franchise for a while since it did so poorly at the box office.
 
I hope it doesn't get touched AGAIN by anyone.
 
Hmm... maybe a sequel to DBE to DVD? I dont know... DBE was awful.

If they were to do another DB movie, reboot it man... or recast everyone
 
I bet the developemnt is just gonna be like Daredevil or FAntatic Four where its gonna be all talk and nothing really happens
 
Damn, if this got made, I would ****ing watch it. I don't give a **** about the show anymore but to see that in live action? **** would be mindblowing.

Have you seen Dragonball Evolution? :huh:

It's live action you know
 
Nope. I'm staying away from that ****.

I'm talking about quality live action DBZ here. It could be ****ing badass. I mean come on back then, waiting for Goku to turn Super Saiyan was like waiting for a women to strip naked for a nine year old boy.

DBE was supposed to be DBZ... then fans got all uptight and they had to change the name so yea, it had lots of potential
 
FOX just didn't care for Dragonball from what I saw of DBE. They just wanted to make a quick money (obviously) by milking the brand name. Other than that, DBE reminded me of how Comic book movies were used to be in the 90s, along with the past/current state of video game movies.
 
I don't want Fox touching DB again, ever. And seeing as they renewed the rights to it by making DBE, I think it will be a loooooong time before we ever see a worthwhile DB movie. I'd be surprised if we ever saw another one.
 
Here is something that Fox may want to consider .
Why not make DBZ a (photo)realistic animated movie with mo-cap performance a la the stuff that Zemeckis was/is doing as well as what Spielberg is currently doing with his Tin Tin feature movie.
As far as i know Spielberg isn't making Tin Tin as photoreal as Avatar but bringing the cartoon characters into a very realistic world .
Hell Tin Tin is budgeted at 135 million with avatar's "official" numer being placed at 238 million.
So you can sorta guess just how "animated or real " TIn TIn will look.

I think that such an animated movie might work very well with DB(Z). That is of course if Fox is willing to spend that amount of money on the movie. How or why did they spend just 50 million on DB:E ??

Because it's a lame waste of money and you might as well just film in live action.
 
Or that instead of spending millions to get a cast , train them for months and still wind up doing a crapload of their stunts with CG doubles , they might as well do the whole thing as an CG animated movie. Not saying that every blockbuster needs that but i do think that it works better with something like DBZ.
Especially the flying scenes anyway. Purists ***** and moan on how flying scenes can be done better with cables and wires and green screens but the reality is that those scenes are better with the use of CGI.

Not only that but actors need months to learn martial scenes. ONe option would be to cast actors who have martial acrts experience but those are mostly the people who can't act. So one hand you'll can have actors who aren't martial artists and wind learning the stuff but in the end still never get the movement as good as someone who's has mastered martial arts.
Whereas if you wind up casting actors who with martial arts experience you'll complain about them struggling with dialogue.
And instead of something that should make 200 million in the states alone , the movie wins up making as much as an average Jet Li movie makes in the states.

The argument that several directors who have shot their movies against blue screens ( like Cameron , like Lucas , like SNyder ) or made animated movies is that they want a level of control over what they are doing. They can't wait for hours till a cloud mves away in order to get perfect lighting or doing scenes like over and over because a blood squib didn't work well.
Get some quality actors , mo-cap their acting performances with stunts actors doing the fighting scenes . Hand over those shots to the VFX studio. Instead of training actors for 6 months , you can spend those 6 months working on VFX instead of shootng something live-action and then rushing to get the movie finished in time ( it's the case for the majority of all blockbusters out there).
 
I doubt any "high-profile" director wants to do a Dragonball movie...

Well you don't know that now do you.
Besides someone doesn't have to be a high profile director to make a good DB movie. Just someone with the right skills. Did anyone hear about Joseph Kosinski before he was announced as the director of Tron.
Not really. But at this stage there are quite a number of fans who would literallly sleep with the guy ( hyperbole...) because of what he has done with Tron : Legacy.
Ditto with Neil Blomkamp. The guy is often mentioned here on this forums for as a possibl director for future movies.

Just think outside the box as i do think that there could be several director out there who would gladly want to make a proper DBZ movie
 
Dragonball is just something too absurb to come out of hollywood cinema... to me

Obviously stuff will have to be toned down.
The after world stuff with all the grand kai having cars or spirits flying to their destination with planes
I think that if AKira Toriyama had a set of balls he'd have spoken out against DB:E. He didn't . Which means that the guy isn't opposed to changes made to the material.
The stuff with the Kai's and Hell with King Yemma can still be made without resorting to make is very childish.
 
Well, you're entitled to your opinion, but it's not like it matters since there's no way another DB movie is going to happen any time soon anyway. Who knows, by the time they make one maybe film will have been replaced by CG holograms that get beamed directly into the brain anyway...
