    Am I the only person that thinks a DBZ movie is an absolutely horrible idea. I mean, sure, it might be better than Dragonball: The Magic Begins... but I don't see it happening.

    This'll be a stinker just like DOA.

    no because doa didn't have a 100 million dollar budget and a good director like dragon ball has. the film is based on the anime its not exactly gonna be like the anime. wait to the film comes out before you judge it.

    I don't know... I was never a huge DBZ fan in the first place. I just can't see it.

    Here's the original Hollywood Reporter article

    Chow rolls to Fox for 'Dragonball'
    By Leslie Simmons

    Dec 19, 2007
    Chow Yun-Fat is the latest to join 20th Century Fox's live-action adaptation of "Dragonball."

    Chow will play Master Roshi. He rounds out a cast that includes Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung. Chow is repped by CAA.

    "Dragonball" is shooting in Mexico City and Los Angeles.

    The film, directed by James Wong, follows Goku (Chatwin), a warrior alien who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling mystical objects known as Dragon Balls. Stephen Chow is producing.

    Master Roshi is Goku's mentor, helping him achieve the highest state of fighting and spiritual powers.
    And loosen up Zenshiite - I enjoyed DOA.

    I wish I had a comeback but I don't know what you are talking about and I don't know anything about Dragonball's Z. Dam you Doug!
