If (and I do mean IF) this movie ever gets made for a theatrical release, this will be the perfect opportunity to start over from scratch and do the series as well as the fans some justice. Im talking total RETCON here. Replace the role of Goku and go with someone a little more credible. He doesnt necessarily have to be established or well known for that matter, but at least credible for the character. That kid with the funny hair-do just wasnt cutting it. He looked like someone who had a bad day at the hair dresser and should have asked for a refund.
Part two is where you learn from the mistakes of the past and realize that this movie is all about the fans, and as fans wed simply ask for one thing and one thing only: stop trying to bring the cheesiness from the cartoon (which was endearing) to the big screen and give us a story that is plausible and has depth. Its not just about the fights (although they make Dragonball what it is). Its also about the heart of the character and how he struggles with maintaining his innocence and carefree nature in the face of true evil while coming into the powers of a demi-god.
The episodes when Frieza wounded Picolo and killed Krillin, were the best scenes in the whole saga because we felt Goku struggle with that desperation, hatred, and rage as he was faced with hopelessness. When he finally did transform CLASSIC! Give us that type of movie instead of trying to pander to promoting toys and other whack commercialism. Take a cue from the Wachowski brothers and the success they had with The Matrix. A film that initially had no big promotional advertising but turned out to be an awesome story that has gone on to cult status.
One could see the passion that went into that movie before they lost their minds hollywood-style and totally screwed the pooch with the other two. Fans would love to see that same passion develop into a trilogy based on Dragonball Z as we see Goku finally fulfill his destiny and become a Super Saiyan. Stop trying to cram the entire series into a 2 hour frame and spread it out like Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings. Or maybe they should hire him to write the next script so it would really be worth seeing.
Ive said it once and Ill say it again This movie can be brought to the big screen and done right. The technology exists to bring every awesome fight scene and every awesome transformation to reality. It would just take an amazing set of writers and a passionate director to give it life. The question though is Do you continue to churn out
garbage just for the sake of a check, or do you put a little thought and effort into this next project and see it become (in the words of Barney Stinson ) AWESOME?!
My Picks for New Cast:
Goku: Channing Tatum
Vegeta: Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Napa: Nathan Jones, Vinnie Jones
Master Roshi: Ben Kingsley
Dr. Briefs: Gary Oldman
Piccolo: Chris Judge
Krillin: Ernie Reyes Jr.
Yajarobi: Jack Black
Bulma: Shannyn Sossamon
Yamcha: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Daniel Phillip Henney
Tien: Russell Wong
Chi Chi: Kristen Kreuk, Devon Aoki
King Vegeta: Kevin McKidd, John Glover
