Dragonball Movie Filming Begins

This month. And the release is planned for August 2008, by the way, according to the rumormongers from Variety. In the Dragon Ball movie, Goku will be played by a guy who would be better suited for a generic loser-type anime male character, Justin Chatwin. Some might be familiar with him from "War of the Worlds", "The Invisible", or that TV show everyone's orgasmic about, "Lost" (me, I'm with the Gilmore Girlies). Piccolo will be played by James Marsters, who I must say is a great choice, indeed... for a gayish villain character.

The whole thing is directed by James Wong (Final Destination, X-Files), out of Twentieth Century Fox's corporate pocket. Oh, and imaginary sources tell us that the movie's budget is OVER NINE THOUSAND!
