Rumour has it, a source within 20th Century Fox has posted the following:
FOX is shooting for a PG-13 rating and a running time of somewhere between 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 Majin Buu Saga.
George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special effects. Some sad news, due to casting and scheduling difficulties, filming that was set to begin real soon has been put off until Summer 2004. The original Release Date. Once the movie is finished filming and all post-production effects are added in, this movie may not be out until well into 2005.
As of right now there is no definite title. The most obvious choice would be plain "DragonBall Z", but FOX is also leaning toward "DragonBall Z: Unlimited" or "DragonBall Z: Fight For Man Kind."
None of this information is confirmed.

One of the most important things that can make or break a cartoon-to-live action conversion is the choice of actors. If FOX is gonna come up with some western pretty boys as actors they will be assassinated.

Bill Goldberg could play that bald guy, and Verne Troyer could play Krilin. And Alicia Silverstone would be my Bulma.

the dragonball z world is so strange... i just can't see the translation to live action movie.
Verne Troyer could play Krilin

no idea. it was rumored a while ago on aintitcool, but i haven't heard anything else since. i personally could care less about dbz, its just an excuse for panning shots of people breathing hard and close ups of sweat beads and people forming orbs and getting blown into crators. no real plot, just a series of stupid pointless battles.

this could quite possibly be the worst film in the history of the camera.

I can't even take a half hour DBZ cartoon, but a 3-4 hour (?!?!?!?) movie? God no. But whatever floats your boat I guess.

well, this movie is gonna suck but if they manage to contain ALL sagas into 3 hours it might actually have a decent level of story.
The main problem with the show is that they take hours to actually do anything. I mean, there are entire episodes devoted to charging up before a fight. That sucks.
