Dragonball Z Movie

[wattabrownsound]

Chris Nolan, once you're done working your magic on the next Superman movie, come use your magic touch on a Dragonball reboot.

Question: how do you explain how King Piccolo got that airship in DB:E?

He stollt it with his magic.

 

[ravn0s]

does anyone else think edgar wright could make a pretty awesome dragonball z movie?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The question is why someone like Edgar Wright would want to work on such shallow material?

 

[scatterax]

it's not shallow. there's a pretty deep and epic story presented in a format the doesn't take it's self too seriously and emphasizes the action. just cuz it packs more entertainment than story doesn't mean the story is lacking.u don't have to like it but than if u don't y r u posting here? just to bash it?

 

[ironwez20]

No its pretty much sensless fighting and it dies after the buu sage for me that is. Its not really that deep of a story but it would make an awesome action movie for the summer.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Afer the Buu saga is GT. No one cares about GT

 

[BigSams50]

As much as i love DBZ, it will never work as a live action film imo. But make a new animated film... **** yea.

Thats what i've always thought about DBZ

 

[Tequilla]

It could work in the hands of a great director and screenwriter . Although its not a very layered story , its pretty epic and has a great adventurous feel.

The universe is actually quite rich. People need to understand the show had a juvenile target but to work as a movie it needs someone with talent thats knows how to make the transition from a tv show (a japanese one...) to movies. In terms of scope , Toryama created a very cool story.

 

[SouLeSS]

He created a cool story?

No he didn't. The entire series is this

Goku goes to fight someone.
Oh no they're too powerful!
STEP OUT OF THE WAY GOKU (said by random new ally who Goku previously beat in the saga beforehand)
Random Ally puts up a bit better of a fight
IM ALL BETTER NOW, THANKS, TIME TO WIN! (that was Goku, by the way)
ARGGGGH
RAGGGGHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRRR
HRRRRRRRRRRR
GRARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH
ARRRRRRRRRHGHHHHHHHH
RARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
(that's him charging up for three episodes)
Spirit Bomb / Ultra Kamahamaha and enemy is deadzo.

Change Goku with Gohan in a few instances, and it's basically the entire series.

If Pixar ever had the chance to make a PG-13 action/fantasy CG animated film, they'd be the ones to call on.

Finally, somebody said something that I can agree with. With an anime of this caliber, why go out trying to look for actors who they feel resemble the characters? Just do it in CGI and maybe use Hollywood talent to do the voices.

 

[Project862006]

only guy i want to see make a dbz movie is zack snyder

 

[venom892]

Zack Synder would be a great choice.Has anyone seen the trailer to Sucker Punch?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I believe the key to a good Dragonball Z film that is incredibly important, more important than finding the right actors, is establishing the DBZ universe. That will be the toughest thing to do. How would you establish this universe in a 2 hour film while keeping the attention of the audience?

The same as in any other film, Dragonball Evolution took the cheap route by using the generic futuristic city. All they have to do is establish that it is an alternate earth where dinosaurs still exist, talking animals (if you wanted to include them) martial artist being able to perform superhuman feats.

I should've mentioned I was speaking hypothetically, but thanks anyway. Its something that can be established if done right.

lol it's cool bro, even though I've never seen it, Chronicles of Narnia looks like it had a crazy enviroment, so if they can get away with it, DBZ should be a piece of cake

...you are completely missing the point. This is geared towards 7 - 14 year olds. This is essentially like complaining about the storyline in power rangers. Its not meant to have an intricate plot or deep story...and yes, many plot devices were rehashed but still it is a unique and very adventurous universe. I'm 19 years old and haven't seen power rangers in such a long time but I appreciate it for what it was... a really good kid's show. I feel the same applies here or any children's show for that matter.

Disney no longer owns it. Haim Saban has the rights again to the series.
On DBZ, I never expected much of a great film adaption, so if it happens, and actually works this time I am all for it, but for now, I'd rather not hope on it,

 

[ravn0s]

Just do it in CGI and maybe use Hollywood talent to do the voices.

may as well just get the people that did the voices for the anime

4real? but they're still playing the disney edited version? what's happening to that? or is was that even disney's call to put the comic effects in there?

 

[Timstuff]

If they did do a DBZ movie, how exactly would they go about handling the more whimsical elements of DBZ, like the anthropomorphic animals and stuff like that? Should they completely get rid of them, or should they take a huge risk attempt to adapt all of it? Maybe something somewhere in between the two? Whimsy is hard to sell, and personally I'm not even sure how I'd feel about all of it making it into a movie.
