As Dragonball Evolution's April 2009 premiere nears, more and more generic "stuff" arises, titillating the fans' excitement - at least those optimistic enough to believe in the success of a Hollywoodian live-action movie. Coming in March is an unimpressive PSP game based on the movie, as well as some horrendous-looking toys / action figures. They're not totally useless, though: they'll make for a great gift, if you really want to hurt somebody's feelings.



Anyway, that's not why I bothered digging up this topic. The real news this weeks comes straight from the mouth of ill-chosen leading actor Justin Chatwin (Goku), who revealed that there's already a script in place for a second Dragonball live-action movie. (...)

What? No Chi-Chi this year? Aw, bummer... I obviously couldn't care less that the Dragon movie itself is being delayed from this August 15, all the way to April 3, 2009 - according to this ComingSoon story. But Jamie Chung's loli character might have been a nice distraction from the hardships of our oh-so-stressful lives. *sigh*... Now I'll have to decide which anime to re-watch instead. Whatever shall I do!

P.S. On second thought, I shouldn't worry. My comrade will probably make me watch one of his stupid Rocky movies or some boring Jet Li pew-pew. Nem fáj!

The upcoming Dragonball movie has just moved out of my "ignore list", now that the actress playing Chi Chi (Goku's loli) has been revealed to be Jamie Chung, according to the Hollywood Reporter. You might know her already if you used to watch MTV's "The Real World", and recently it was also announced that she would star in some TV series called Samurai Girl.

But getting back on topic, let's not forget that Chi Chi is only about 12-years old in the original Dragon Ball anime (as opposed to her older self from DBZ), so hopefully this will also stay true for the movie. Granted, Chung will need plenty of make-up and some really tight bra to make her look like a loli... but meh, I guess a not-so-flat chest is fine, too!


More recent reports claim that filming will only being in January (once upon a place in Mexico), and that the Dragonball movie will be released on August 15, 2008.

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!

Pumping up money into something hyped may just be the right thing for 20th Century Fox. The home of Terrence and Philip will host the live action movie shootings for Dragonball Z, a movie scheduled for (late) 2008. The company seems eager to invest no less that 100 million dollars into this production - and since it's a "Hollywood" thingy, we can expect to see some familiar names in the cast. Loli Jesus is proud.

Details and other crap

The question still stands, WILL IT BE OVER NINE THOUSAND?
