James Marsters Preparing for Press Tour
Thanks to craigdbfan for this exciting tidbit of news:
“I just got back from filming Dragonball, so I’m healing from that. I’m going back to do Smallville next week and think I’ll be doing Torchwood again before too long. Then resting, and basically working out - Dragonball is all about muscles and I can’t be doing the press tour for it without muscles. I gotta pump my pecs. Girls like boobs too, you know.”

hahah This is funny ^^
Im aslo wondering why hasent goku’s tail been mentioned yet?
has any information on it been givin out?
or are they even gonna have a tail for goku?
April 1st, 2008 at 11:58 pm
We have no idea. We’ll have to wait and see…
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:00 am
I doubt they’ll give Goku a tail . . . I think the oozaru thing can and will be dropped, so. *shrug*
Anyway! Yay again for Marsters! I’m just wondering, though . . . why is he the only cast member we ever hear talking about Dragonball? o_O; Oh well, later on when the press tour happens, we’ll get a bunch of info/interviews then. ^^
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:05 am
According to Dragonballfilm.over-blog.com we won’t be getting any official pictures or cool posters for awhile.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:06 am
Oh, and thank God for Marsters, and why hasn’t Chatwin had even one interview yet about the movie? I hope we get something better soon.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:08 am
Good point, Marsters and Rossum are the only characters who have had much to say about this movie, I wonder why?
Oh, and by the way, Hi adam ^_^
I have been looking at this site frequently for a long time, but decided to make a profile so I can comment on these vids.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:09 am
Its going to be a while until we get some interviews, appearances on Late night talk shows, etc.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:18 am
Yeah, I have seen pictures of chatwins new hair, but I would really like to see a good quality set picture with this outfit, and everything.
I wonder if Piccolo with have the same attire, the black on black robes. Or maybe purple, I can’t remember. But I remember reading somewhere about some costume designer who made futuristic alien costumes, and hopefully they wont change them too much.
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:40 am
LOL! MAN BOOBIES!!! XD
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:57 am
I have a feeling James Marsters is going to be better then the original King Piccolo, because he is already talking about bulking up for a sequal. I like James, because he tells us fans what we want to hear. Plus he’s freakin’ cool! He is a Dragonball fan!!!!
They must of worked him really hard on the set of Dragonball. I can’t believe he is still hurt. Why hasn’t my homie Chatwin been in any interviews yet???? I wonder is Chatwin bruised up from fighting Marsters. I can’t believe Chatwin doesn’t have a website yet. What’s up with that?
Maybe he doesn’t know about the internet!
What?? It’s possible! Goku thought Bulma’s car was a monster
Wow Bulma!!!! She’s soooo pretty
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:03 am
Hm, If there is a sequel, and if Piccolo is in it, I wonder if he will be portrayed by Marsters again? That would be pretty stupid, especially if it’s like DB & DBZ, them being two different characters. And if so, who would be a good choice for another Piccolo? For some reason, I have a feeling they will keep marsters.
April 2nd, 2008 at 1:23 am
wow!!!-this info is the same stuff as the last update just worded different….zzzzzzzz
-its like saying, i like cereal then 6 months later did you know i like to eat cereal for breakfast!- i think we are starving for info a bit and fox sucks!
- chatwin doesnt give a flying $(&& about dragon ball that is why we dont hear from him!
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:03 am
robert g,
News is quite sparse right now considering the time frame. I think the fact that Adam has been this detailed and thorough with the news is very impressive and he deserves props for giving us every drop that comes out of the media.
It’s interesting enough to hear from Marsters as he’s a very cool guy who has shown nothing but enthusiasm for the film.
On the other topic, to say Chatwin doesn’t care about “Dragonball” is simply fan drivel. Marsters has a greater fan following and due to his mobile career (hopping from “Dragonball” to “Smallville” …etc…) he’s in greater view of the public eye.
Marsters is the one being interviewed– He hasn’t come out to say anything about the movie unless fans or reporters have asked for it. Has anyone interviewed or asked Chatwin about anything? Nope. And seeing as FOX doesn’t want their actors to say much about the film it makes it hard for any of the actors to update fans on the movie. (Other than information we already know.)
Saying Chatwin doesn’t care is simply premature.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:09 am
when the press begin?
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:14 am
I totally agree with gman!!!!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:38 am
lol robert g such a stubborn guy
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:16 am
ok chaty is goku so why have your main guy running around blabbing about the movie they just finished filming this is going to be big boys and girls weather you think so or not its gonna be like dragonball on Entertainment tonight .
” Tonight news on dragonball.. KAMAHAMAHAAASS threw box offices world wide, will this movie adaptation of a Manga.. (I believe thats a comic book Sarah) meet the needs of those die hard fans of the anime and “manga” or will it simply fail and destroy those fans souls creating carnage in the streets and the beginning of world war 3, nothings like a hot and spicy baconator at wendys get that little bitch cooking,back to you Sarah”
just chill
much love

“Oh, and thank God for Marsters, and why hasn’t Chatwin had even one interview yet about the movie? I hope we get something better soon.”
______________________________________________________________
Who cares about Chatwin? One interview with him was enough for me to be thouroughly sickened by him being involved in the movie.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:14 am
I agree with GMAN, now that I think ’bout it. After all, if Marsters’ agent is constantly telling him not to talk about DB, then I suppose Fox is telling that to the other actors as well, who, you’ll notice, haven’t actually been interviewed for anything lately anyway.
@ J —
The “interview” in Mexico (in which you could barely understand the interviewer, and he was sort of caught off guard) DID suck. I’ve seen other interviews with him, however (ACTUAL interviews), and he’s always seemed funny, talkative, and good natured in those, so.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:14 am
GMAN is right on with his comment.
James has quite a few projects airing and in the works right now and those in the media generally love him & seek him out ‘cuz he gives such good interviews. Of course it helps that he’s a very chatty guy
Expect to hear more from him soon because he has convention appearances the weekend of April 11-13 and will undoubtedly be asked many questions about Dragonball. I’m sure most of it will rehash what we already know, but I bet he sneaks in some non-spoilery tidbits about his experience filming.
The lack of comments from any of the other principal actors doesn’t surprise me, given the stusio gag rule and how far we are from release. Wait until a trailer or two are released before it shows up on any mainstream media outlet’s radar.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:22 am
Oh, and James is correct that girls *do* like man boobs.
James has some lovely ones too ~ see Buffy season 6 (just about any episode), altho thank God James won’t be sporting the anorexic look for Dragonball!
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 am
I have no doubt that if James Marsters is kept as Piccolo for the sequels that he will give 100% meaning that he will bulk up by a substantial amount. I’m hoping that Justin Chatwin will have the same amount of dedication and will keep working out so he can increase in muscle mass.
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:37 am
Justin Chatwin’s movie appearances have always been great. He’s a great actor, very talented.
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Wow, Mandy you really think so? Based on YouTube comments I’ve read with videos of him, he seems more of the eye-candy for teenage girls- type, like Orlando Bloom or Johnathan Taylor Thomas back in the 90s.
I’d have to disagree with you on him though. I just wanted to knock his lights out in War of the Worlds. I found him to be extremely annoying. I don’t see any talent or charisma in him, he’s very booooring, although he seems like a nice person so I’ll give him that.
April 2nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I was talking about Chatwin BTW, I don’t know about Marsters because I’ve never seen him in anything.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:25 pm
I’ve seen Justin Chatwin in Lost, The Chumscrubber, War of the Worlds, and The Invisible and I think he’s a fine actor, not AWESOME, but hes still good.
Yes, i found him quite annoyin in WOTW, too. But i think that was his character, not his actin skills.
And u should really see him the Chumscrubber, he was really good in that one, u can find it on youtube somewhere.
Anyhow, i totally agree with u, Mandy XDD
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Chatwin’s best work was actually in that episode of Lost you spoke of. He added a lot to that episode.
(Takes guts to stand up to John Locke.)
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Movie’s looking really nice. I love the way they’re going with this. I’m assuming they’re going for a more “What if it was real” / Sci-fi tone than fantasy/anime style. I’m gonna love the fight scenes. The drama, I’m wondering why no-one has even thought of how the drama will be. I can only find one word to express my expectations for this movie.
Epic.

J, I don’t like Chatwin either lol. I just want more news.
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
Huh???? Are you Ok Sean? You don’t even know Chatwin!
If you make your judgement based on an interview then that ain’t right dude. That aint right!!!!
You should be making your judgement based upon the movies he has done. Plus Chatwin never said nothing bad!! You act like he said something bad. He barely understood what the guy was saying. I would say the same thing if I was Chatwin. Plus the interviewer didn’t ask him any real questions. So get off of his case dude!! He didn’t say nothing bad or offensive Sean. So there is nothing you should be worried about. Don’t worry dude
be happy
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Corey don’t worry man, I’m just fine.
And I don’t hate Justin, I just haven’t seen him put as much effort into giving us the news as James has. I know Fox is probably all over there asses, but if James can have good interviews, and Emmy Rossum and Eriko Tamura can have good blogs and myspaces with updates; then why can’t Justin give us something? He’s the only other actor I want to hear from, because he’s the main character in this movie whether people like it or not….and I just wanna hear his perspective on things, like his charcter for one. He’s Goku man, so why can’t he give us something more to look forward to in his role?
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
In the Fast and the Furious 1, the main character (forgot his name) was supposed to be the star, but Vin Diesel ended up being the star because of his great acting. Same thing will happen here. Goku is supposed to be the star but James Masters will end up being the star.
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
You got a good point Sean!!
Chatwin should be doing alot of speaking and stuff, since he’s playing my favorite character Goku. Why hasn’t Chatwin been any interviews yet or put up a website???? Come on Chatwin your supposed to be my favorite character. Your making me look bad dude!! Come on Chatwin
I know you can do one interview for us dude!
Talk to us!! We need to know about our favorite character Goku!
and James you still didn’t awnser my question!
What kind of water do you drink so I can drink it too??
WE need to know these things
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
As far as I know, Chatwin is doing some indie projects right now . . . and it’s not like the media would be scrambling to interview a relitively (as of now) unknown start about a low-key, non-commercial movie. XD There’s also Fox’s gag order no to speak about the movie yet.
Marsters, however, is in the spotlight more, as he’s doing several more noticeable things (Torchwood, etc.). He also doesn’t seem to mind slipping in Dragonball tidbits now and again, despite Fox’s request NOT to, haha. . . .
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 pm
**unknown STAR, not unknown start XP
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 am
Bringing back the Chatwin on Lost appearence, here is a clip (if it’s okay to post… youtube, so no real harm) Here is a pretty good clip of him in John Locke’s flashback. He has come a long way since War of the Worlds.

wow……..i think corey and mandy both read teen-pop star magazine and both very much enjoyed the hanna montana movie after reading their comments!!!!!!-masters is just happy to be in a movie.-chatwins a great actor cough-cough barf!
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:45 am
robert g, you need to work on your people skills man. Who cares what they think about the actors, what corey and mandy think is none of your damn business. They have the right to an opinion just like you do, and if don’t you knock all this flaming off you’re going to be banned from the site. Which I think was already clearly stated by Adam himself.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:04 am
What’s hanna montana????
