article:

Oh, MTV. Geek is the new black and you're trying to get in on it, I get it...but it's “Goku.” Not “Goko.”

Dragon Ball (Evolution?): Goku and Bulma
Dragon Ball (Evolution?): Goku and Bulma


Yes, everyone's favorite music TV station that doesn't play music has a short feature on the upcoming Dragon Ball film (still not sure if I should be calling it Dragon Ball Evolution or not), including an interview with actress Jamie Chung, who's playing Chi Chi. Apparently she doesn't have very firm handles, because she gives away that the producers are only re-shooting a single scene, and it's the Goku/Piccolo fight. (Or, as MTV puts it, “Goko and villain Lord Piccolo.”)


But wait, there's more! Yes, there are already sequels to this thing in the works. Or at least the actors are signed on for two more. Now, it could be that when they signed on for the first pic they signed on for three, because the way things are going I can't imagine that any sequels have been solidly green-lit...


And yet, the film may do well with the so-bad-it's-good crowd. How about you? Are you going to go see it? And if so, what are you expecting?






Yeah so this will suck hard and it will continue to suck a couple of times more...

I know people are against pirating, but the only way I would ever watch this movie is by downloading it.

The trailer makes that movie look hilarious in a pretty terrible way, so I'm down. The nerd rage against it ought to be pretty funny as well.

Looks about as good as the Mario Brothers movie.

Also reminds me a little of Masters of the Universe with Dolf Lundgren.

Emmy Rossum is the only reason I'll some day watch this movie on mute.

Me and some friends will probably go and see it for a laugh. Should have just had some japanese live action movie instead, atleast they would stayed true to the source instead of trying to reinvent the entire thing.

this is one of those movies that literally does look aweful, everything about it, just aweful. 

what would be so bad if they actually made this thing accurately like the comic and show. they had to turn into to this whole stylized (very cheap looking too i might add) look and it looks more like Dragonball 90210

Why must Hollywood rape all good things?
Would it really be hard to just like.. Directly translate the DB anime into liveaction? Really?
I'm a Dragonball fan so I'm going to see it regardless and my fingers are crossed that it's at least a good kind of bad, but I'm not hopeful.
They don't look like the characters from the anime so much as bad cosplayers cosplaying characters from the anime.

Piccolo don't even got no antennae. Goku turns into some grey-skinned thing that looks kind of like a Locust from Gears when there's a full moon instead of a gigantic ape. Master Roshi isn't an old man who loves titties. I can't wait for the outrage that they messed up a show that was pretty much just 20 solid minutes of men grunting into microphones over the same two seconds of animation set on loop.

God damn I love Dragon Ball Z. Remember Mr. Popo? How the fuck did he make it onto American television?

As an ex-dragonball fan, I must go see it even if it tarnishes every memory of Dragonball I've ever had.
