Sequel Greenlit?

[WarrenPeace2012]

According to http://dbthemovie.com/, the Dragonball sequel has been greenlit already, just days before its release in America. Isn't it a little too soon?

 

[DorkyFresh]

yes...it's too soon, and Marsters also said the budget was around $100 million. he's also the most enthusiastic person involved with the film...which is why i don't think he meant to say 'green lit' so much as 'in talks'.

edit: i actually watched the video and the woman was saying that Chatwin said the sequel was green lit....but then again Chatwin also said that this was a $120 million movie. so i seriously doubt the sequel has been green lit.

I just think that woman who did the interview has no clue hat she's talking about.

Al Norton: You mentioned other movies in this series, obviously in a project like this there is hope of doing more but are you already set for them?

James Marsters: I was told the day before yesterday that we're green lit for the second film and it's ok to tell the press.

Al Norton: So are you going to just stay in shape? Did you have a little post-production celebration of being able to eat what you wanted?

James Marsters: No (laughing). I went from grueling workouts during Dragon Ball to shooting in eastern Europe for two films, getting a little out of shape but not bad at all. I'm on a good workout now but as soon as I get back from playing music in May the stunt crew is going to have me again.

When I signed on for Dragon Ball I knew it was all about transformation. The characters start at one power level and they transform into a new and more powerful version of themselves, and that happens to each of them more than once. It's going to be very important to step up and give that physical transformation so that every movie that comes down the road makes the audience go, "oh my god, is that the same guy?" I'm going to have to keep topping myself and frankly I was in better shape for Dragon Ball than I was for Buffy.

Al Norton: Have you seen the finished product?

James Marsters: Yes, three times. I like it better every time. Twice in English and once in Japanese. It was dubbed but I chose to think that the acting was very good.

There will not be a sequel

 

[Raiden]

I doubt a movie that came in #8 in its opening weekend will be greenlit for a sequel. DD had alot better number but it didn't get a sequel, either.

 

[xwolverine2]

i think thats their finalk attempt at trying to draw more people to see it.

if their is a sequel... the budget will probably be around the same, and unfortunatly the writers of this movie have written another god awful piece.

 

[craigdbfan]

With an opening weekend of $4,650,000 for a film thats based on a relatively popular anime. This movie is a bomb. This is at toxic level and Fox won't be touching this franchise for a while (probably never).

There will be no sequel to this Fox DB franchise.

DD? As in...Dungeons and Dragons? Um, it did get a sequel. Straight to Sci-Fi Channel, then DVD. It's budget was like 2-8 mil though. Effects looked ok for the budget.

Not true, actors have already said so. If FOX pulls the sequel, they are now liars. Just let Stephen Chow direct/write the sequel for 35 mil.

What do you mean not true. Those are actual numbers. If you want to frolic in your own disillusionment then go right ahead.

But don't dismiss those numbers as "Not true" when they in fact are very true (check out Variety, or BOM). If a movie does poorly it won't warrant a sequel. Its simple as that.

Oh, I know the numbers are true. I just find it hard to believe the...that FOX would not make a sequel after giving the actors the OK to say a sequel was coming. Know what I am saying?

I find it hard to believe that you find this hard to believe.

DD = Daredevil. I think.

....um.....*mind explodes*

Daredevil had a good DC. THAT should have hit theaters, not the PG-13 okay cut.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I suspect this will have a DC. And then we'll get a spin off about Bulma or something.

 

[Raiden]

Yes, Daredevil, another franchise that Fox had botched.

They didn't promote this movie or anything. If they would have actually scoped out talent to make this damn thing, they would have had a product they could have been proud of to tie into at least a burger king toy promotion

There werent any burger king toys over there? Here in Spain we got them in, they dont look fantastic but hey they're there.

Promotion has been pretty good, see the tv spots quite often.

I havent seen this movie though, nor do I plan to on any format, DVD, VHS, TV or PC lol.

 

[sherlocke]

I'm glad there's a sequel. This movie was a surprise for me. A well-handled adaptation that doesn't blindly follow the manga and anime too closely like Watchmen, but adapts it for modern Western audiences while keeping the spirit of the characters much alive. Bravo
