Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie

[The Man Of 16]

I was reading comingsoon.net's article about how Jet Li and Jackie Chan will be teaming up in their next movie. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=16521


I used to be the biggest DragonBall Z fan, and I remember when the official website had a flash version of their site, about 4 years ago, that they had a poll where people could vote on who they thought the top actors for the movie would be. Jet Li and Jackie Chan were the top picks, naturally.

And now that I read this team up of theirs will be in a kids movie, I've kind of put 2 and 2 together, and come up with the conclusion that it will be Dragon Ball Z.

So go ahead, say I'm wrong and stupid for thinking it, but I'll be damned if Im going to with hold information from my fellow Hypesters! You'll all just come crawiling back to me saying "Oh were all so sorry! Youre the smartest greatest, decent-looking guy we all know and love"
To which Ill respond, "Why are my pants off?"

Cheers.

This should go in the anime forum.





I read Jet Li and Jackie Chan and stopped

...I am so angry with you right now!

 

[enterthemadness]

Hmmm...kids movies...if it's Fox, it could be DBZ. But Li and Chan are too old to be in DBZ.

...I am so angry with you right now!

Who me? I didn't do it! It's all a lie! It wasn't me! It was the one armed man!........

Dragonball is a show which is beyond dumb it's in George W. Bush territory.

No, cookie. You know I :heart: you...

 

[Cyclops]

Jet Li's no longer doing martial arts movies any more, right?

...No it's not. It involves memorization and paying attention.

 

[Tsunulia]

*sigh of relief*

That's what the commercial for his new movie says

 

[enterthemadness]

It could be a lie.

Will Li still do action movies?

 

[Cyclops]

Action, perhaps. Or maybe he wants to try drama. You know, since I really doubt that Li has comedic capability. There is nothing funny about Jet Li's face.

 

[Tsunulia]

Jet Li's face + pie = funny

 

[Alpha and Omega]

Fearless is supposedly his last one, but his name is on the roster for a Tekken film. He's up as 'The Boxer' allegedly.

 

[Savage]

It's his last martial arts epic. As in his last old school kung fu flick. The guy has an entire library of his own with his name on it and I guess he just got tired of it. He'll probably stick to more modern day stuff now like Unleashed and Kiss of The Dragon.

And I sooo want him to play Vegeta...Him, Ray Park, or Tim Roth.

Jet Li was always my #1 pick for Vegeta.
Ray Park = Great choice, too.

Everyone knows that Tom Cruise is destined to play that little boy that turns into a giant monkey.

Aren't the characters in DBZ American?

I mean, granted....they're in Japan and all, but obviously the characters are Western-looking ones.

I love DBZ. But, I've been hearing about a live action version since I was a freshman in High School.

I'm now a sophmore in College.....so you see why I cannot beleive this until I see a teaser or a poster of some kind.

 

[deathshead2]

chan and Li aren't doing the DBZ movie there making something completly different. And yes Li is going to keep making kung fu movies the trailors have been lieing.

Tha majority of anime/manga characters are drawn with Western features...

Where have you been?

Ha! I remember back when that site was up, in fact, I think that's when the whole Jet Li/Jackie Chan project started. It'd be pretty cool if it was the case, but I don't think it will happen.

 

[xwolverine2]

only the wachowskys can pull off a faithful DBZ......

no other directors in the galaxy can be better or more perfect than them for it.

if DBZ was made by them... i have no doubt it would be my fav. movie of all time.

though this movie might never be made and if it is.....then all the DBZ craze would have vanished if it hasnt already.

 

[TheVileOne]

Wachowski's couldn't even make a good Matrix trilogy.

DBZ can't work as a live action movie.

DBZ as a property itself isn't that good. I liked it back in the day, but now I consider it amongst the dregs of anime.
