Live Action DBZ Movie. - Sammah - 10-25-2003

As you all probably know, there will be a Live Action DBZ movie being made by 20th Century Fox. That is supposedly a real or fake poster for the movie, no one knows. But for those of you who don't know much about the details of this movie, here it is.
FOX is shooting for a PG-13 rating and a running time of 3 to 4 hours. They are hoping for the DBZ Movie Saga to be 4 episodes long (4 movies). Starting in the Saiyan saga, The Frieza Saga, The Android/Cell Saga, and the Buu saga.
George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects. Bad news though, due to casting, and scheduling difficulties, filming was set to begin real soon, but has been put off until Summer 2004, the ORIGINAL release date. Once the movie is finished and all post-production effects have been added in, this movie may not be out until 2005.
As of now there is no definite title. The most obvious choice would be plain "Dragonball Z", but FOX is also leaning towards "Dragonball Z: Unlimited" or "Dragonball Z: Fight for Mankind"
Cast
Here is a list of the cast that is supposed to be the cast. Anything can change on this list as some might be switched with different actors:
Goku- Hugh Jackman
Vegeta: Ray Park ( Sleepy Hollow, Star Wars Episode 1, X-men)
Piccolo: Sam Wheeler
Raditz: Jason Bateman (Teen Wolf Two, Necessary Roughness, The Sweetest Thing)
Nappa: Bill Goldberg ( WWE wrestling, Universal Soldier: The Return)
Tien: Orlando Bloom ( Black Hawk Down, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean
Bulma: Jessica Alba ( P.U.N.K.S, Idle Hands, Dark Angel)
Puar, Oolong, King Kai- Characters will be CGI and the voice actors from the show will be doing these voices
Director- Roland Emmerich ( Independence Day, The Patriot, Universal Soldier, and Godzilla)
I wonder if this will actually turn out good....let's just hope.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit will always be one of my favorites.
But the DBZ movie will not be mostly CG, with the exception of puar and oolong ofcourse. These will be real people, with make up and that whole jazz to create a full Dragonball universe on the big screen. And remember, Lucas Arts is doing the graphics for this movie, so you KNOW it'll look good. They better not mess it up.
And yeah, I can see Orlando Bloom being a better character than Tien. Bloom is a pimp.

I've found a photo taken during some early shooting for the movie.

Yep. It's probably going to suck hardcore. btw, the poster isn't real. I've seen a couple others including one with a Piccolo on it.

This could be good, but then we have to think... Good special effects don't always make a movie... Mortal Kombat Annihilation anyone? That movie blew badly, though the first one rocked.

Again, lemme reiterate:
DBZ movie? Worst. Idea. Ever.
even though they already did it once wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day.

Yeah, that's the point. I was being sarcastic.
btw, most of that casting stuff is bullshit. =\

Yeah, It probably is.

I think there will be a live action DBZ movie but I doubt that at this stage they know who will be playing who, or any of that. It could actually turn out to be a good movie if they don't go and try to turn it into some huge money maker.

That's the only reason DBZ exists.
