Hey everyone, I would like to let you know that DBthemovie.com will be closing and moving to a new website this week. If you want to know all the details head on over to the new site, but it really boils down to lack of interest in the live-action movie and the lack of funds to single-handedly run the website anymore.

A friend offered to host all of our content on his website, as well as let us blog about anything related to Dragonball. So we aren’t going to just vanish like some websites. We hope you’ll join us over at our new home.

Please remember that it’s still a work-in-progress. Comment on the “Welcome to Our New Home” post to report any problems.

You know the drill. Take this with a grain of salt, Fox sucks, and so on.

After the U.S. producers experienced a major failure with the signing of Dragon Ball: Evolution, we get information from our correspondents in Miami that Dragon Ball will be restarted and not only that, but also confirmed a forthcoming trilogy.

Such confirmation said the spokesman for 20th Century Fox, Abraham Sullivan:

“If we have another movie (Dragon Ball), we are currently discussing the resumption of the trilogy” Sullivan said our correspondent.

“The only problems we have are the scripts are not finished yet and will be reviewed by our executives, as well as walk in the search for a new director to make such delivery” said the spokesman for the Fox.

So, Fox is (allegedly) discussing a reboot that would potentially kick start a trilogy. “…Cool.” This comes from a blog on HoyCinema, which is about as reliable as James Marsters.

UPDATE: The “news” has been confirmed to be a lie started by the blog. If a sequel or reboot ever does happen, we’re certain Fox will try to hide it from the public like DB:E. Probably not a bad idea for their already horrible reputation lately.

According to James Marsters, a sequel to Dragonball: Evolution isn’t just speculation, but reality. From Civilized James:

In Spring and Summer, I’m on tour in Europe. Check for dates and ticket on www.jamesmarsters.com. And then we’ll start shooting the second Dragonball movie. (grins) I’ve just heard that I can actually tell that there is going to be a sequel.

Of course, things can always change in Hollywood, so don’t take this as the final word. Let’s just hope that if true, they treat the sequel with a lot more respect.

The cover art for Dragonball: Evolution’s DVD & Blu-Ray have been revealed. But, it looks like “Z-Edition” is just a meaningless subtitle.

Wondering which deleted scenes will be included in the upcoming DVD & Blu-Ray release? Well, ponder no further, as the BBFC has revealed the titles and length of each of the 8 scenes.

00:01:19:06 GOKU LEARNS ABOUT KI (DELETED SCENE)
00:01:22:05 GOKU LIFTS CAR (DELETED SCENE)
00:01:16:03 GOKU MEETS BULMA (DELETED SCENE)

That’s under 11 minutes of additional footage. But one has to wonder why they weren’t just included in the actual movie, it’s not as if it’s 3 hours.

TheFanboyReview.com is reporting that one of the home video releases of Dragonball: Evolution will be coming out with the title “Z-Edition” tacked on. What this means is anyone’s guess, but extended and deleted scenes are likely. The DVD and Blu-Ray are expected to drop in the summer.
