Here's a little unbiased preview I wrote in the comments section of my site.
This is what they SHOULD have posted.
The RUNDOWN
A live-action movie adaptation of the insanely popular manga turned anime series.
PREVIEW PULP
Dragonball was originally a manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump, which was published from 1984 to 1995. The manga was turned into an anime in 1986 to 1996, and became one of the most popular animes ever, even to this day.
Now, in 2008 (or perhaps 2009), the popular franchise is coming to the big screen. This isnt a surprise to most fans, seeing as 20th Century Fox bought the rights to the movie way back in 2002, but its kind of a shock to others since Fox has denied its existence for many years.
Regardless, James Wong (Final Destination, The One) was hired to direct in 2007, as well as Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) to produce. The movie is an adaptation of the King Piccolo and Piccolo J.R. sagas, though it still contains the most important parts from the first season. Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds, The Invisible) plays Goku, the dimwitted but lovable protagonist, and James Marsters (Buffy, Angel) plays Lord Piccolo, the crazed antagonist.
20th Century Fox is sure keeping their lips sealed on the details, however. It was believed it would be released on August 15th 2008, but recently theyve delayed it to April 3rd 2009. On the contrary, many insiders have reported that April 3rd is not the release date, and that they are aiming for a December 2008 release.
