DragonBall Z Live Action Movie

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.

i'll be absolutely amazed if this turns out good.

i don't even like thinking about it.

the dragonball z world is so strange... i just can't see the
translation to live action movie.

Verne Troyer could play Krilin

haha that's wrong! krillin's short, but he's not a midget!

Verne Troyer, good one! :D

Colin Farrell as Goku will NOT be appreciated by me.

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.

CRAPPY Fist of the Northstar movie

there than DBZ.

so is it going to be 4 hours of sweating, grunting,
screaming, holding hands, glowing auras, and not much else?

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.
