Dragonball’s Producer Speaks (SPOILERS)
Apr 15th, 2008
Tim Van Rellim, Dragonball’s executive producer, recently spoke to a Durango newspaper, where he reveals MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS on the film.
Tim Van Rellim reveals that Goku dies in the beginning of the second part of Dragonball
At least that’s what recently commented Tim Van Rellim, producer of Dragon Ball, in an exclusive chat in el Siglo of Durango, in which he spelled out precisely the death of the protagonist will be the beginning of the second part of the story, it it is also very likely to be recorded in Durango.
“Durango has been a phenomenal place to record. We had many sets and the truth never felt paparazzis or harassment of the press and elsewhere and in other productions. It is a very quiet place, we were treated very well, “he said.
The producer of the film confessed that three movies are scheduled for history, the second of which is in the process of planning. “It is not yet confirmed, but it is more than likely that the costs billed in this city will bring us back.”
Another source of production reported that the blue skies of Durango is another very important reason. “In New Zealand there are very similar skies, but the sets are infested with Power Rangers.”
“Dragon Ball was an experience. We are very happy to have held only time we plan. There were not many setbacks, as only surprises when we were recording in Mexiquillo, but those are go with the job. ”
AT END OF YEAR PREMIERE PRODUCTION OF THE SECOND PARTWhen asked how long until the second part begins, the producer said he hoped to resume his post at the end of this year.
PREMIERES: Summer or October?
“We hurried, and the premiere will [hopefully] be in the summer or October at the latest.” (?)
It is now expected, because the following projects come with more purpose, i.e. with more shooting interiors than field. I hope to be back over here, we tried really hard [and it's been] incredible. ”
The behavior of the members of the cast, the producer said that he noticed them excited, but that it would not deliver trials of its performance before the cameras.
“That it is up to the director. I saw them many times and could only say wonderful things from them, “he concluded.
The translation isn’t perfect, but we can see sequels are clearly in the works.
Is it saying that the film might premiere this year? I don’t really understand lol.
Yes.
this sounds like bull. : (
@stranger: Yeah I know. I don’t know if there’s some Mexican april fools day or something.
Sweet! That’s pretty awesome news. But if it premieres this year, does that mean that it will be coming to theatres sooner than April 8th, 2009? Because most movies premiere a couple weeks before the actual movie releases in theatres.
I think Fox was pretty set on their date in April.
It’s a lot of trouble to change a date that’s already been pretty much
set in stone.
Also, I know Goku dies several times in the series (>_<)
But this is just too early in the plot, like wtf.
Rofl.. sometimes I think things like this are better left
unposted as they seem to be.. well for the most part
making no sense.
Haha.. why would they tell us nothing about the movie,
and suddenly reveal something that ruins the movie for us?
Even Fox isn’t that cruel. Rofl.
@stranger: Some people want to be up to date in news. That’s kinda the point of this site.
Hey you smell that? I smell Bull Shit
Its actually strange that Fox is keeping everything a secret and suddenly this guy reveals that lol.
April´s fool here in Latin America is on December, so I doubt its a joke.
So we might end up having the DragonBall movie earlier than we expected.
Mexican April’s fools is on December 28th
yeah, it makes absolutely no sense, after all the efforts of fox not to tell anything about the movie, to have the executive producer tell us that goku dies in the begining of the 2nd movie, it just doesnt make sense
it wouldnt surprise me if that actually happened, and i really hope it does, but if i dont see a video of him saying it, i just cant believe he said it
i didnt get well the release date part, its kind of confusing, they are being so weird about this, how can this movie not have an official release date yet?
The source Movieland quoted: http://www.elsiglodedurango.com.mx/noticia/164829.van-a-matar-a-goku.html
acording to what he suposedly said, october would be the fardest release date they are considering ¿?,
if its true then this really sucks, it means they are rushing post production
it never does say goku dies… it says the protagonist will but i think it might just be a bad translation and what it really means is that piccolo dies cuz in a way he does and this could all just be one big huge miss understanding. I bet you anything that what he really ment is piccolo dies cuz i really don’t think that they would kill off goku unless it was the reason to use the dragon ball to wish him back. But what it says is
“Spelled out precisely the death of the protagonist will be the beginning of Part Two”
It doesn’t actually say that its goku so it could be piccolo.
what the hell is “the second part of Dragonball? the second half of the movie or the sequel, which is Dragonball Z?
Everyone knows that Goku dies in DBZ, if this is not what is meant by the “second part of Dragonball” then i’m very confused.
i dont know what to think anymore i think i’ve went into diabetic shock 6 times from news and lack of info about this movie.
thanks for the info adam.
@funhell: The second half is an actual half of the dragonball. They saw one of the dragonballs in two…
Or so i’ve heard.
Hinkle. He means Goku, not Piccolo.
Funhell. When he said “beginning of the second part” that means the second movie, which will be the beginning of DBZ.
dk318: “i dont know what to think anymore i think i’ve went into diabetic shock 6 times from news and lack of info about this movie.”
LOL that was funny dk.
What i was saying is that The Producer Does not say goku Fro sure all it says is the protagonist Which might vary well me a misstranslation and they mean some one else it could mean the death of any of the main character He does not state Goku all he says it Protagonist But im probably wrong.
@HInkle: It’s Goku.
1. the leading character, hero, or heroine of a drama or other literary work.
2. a proponent for or advocate of a political cause, social program, etc.
3. the leader or principal person in a movement, cause, etc
The defintions for protagonist…its goku bra. By the way i do not believe any of this. This would mean they are making the second movie true to the saiyan saga and from the looks of this movie with character changes etc. i dont think these people have it in them to give the fans what they want….to good to be true news.
adam, that sounds like the only logical explanation, pushing for the trilogy is the only logical explanation to why they are rushing this movie
otherwise even fox cant be stupid enough to rush the dragonball movie, considering how much more money it would bring them if done right
i still hope this is fake and its released in april 2009 or at the very least in december this year
Well i understand Goku dying, cuz of course everyone knows he dies in DBZ, but wat i dun get is the release date.. did they mean Dragonball is comin out October 2008, or the next movie is comin out October 2009???
I mean, I know there has been news about sequels and all, but we have to at least get through the first movie, before they get ahead of themselves.. Anyhow, this might not be real.. and even if it is, I still want a poster from THIS movie. I think they are just tryin to confuse us, so we dun bug them about Dragonball lol
may be its the start of the saiyan saga???
the leading character, hero, or heroine of a drama or other literary work - Protagonist
Its for sure goku but i dont believe this news at all. This would mean they are staying very true to the saiyan saga and from the looks of this first movie, with the character changes and apparent changes to the story, I just dont think these people who are making the dbz movies know how to give the true fans what they want to see. this is the type of news that is to good to be true
haha dbzfan, yeah, having goku die in the begining of the second movie does sound too good to be true
This is a bad translation I think. Did you use language tools. I saw this article yesterday and tried to use language tools to translate it but it only loaded part of the page and I’m not that great at Spanish so I didn’t try to translate it. Anyone fluent in Spanish care to translate this for us?
nikooo: i cant tell if u agree or your being sarcastic
Presuming that the second movie is about the saiyan attack, then yes, Goku does die. If he dies before Raditz, then I’m thinking the plot will focus on how helpless Earth is, and then there would be one KICKASS war with the saiyans and the human armies.
Two words.
Fuck. yes.
dbzfan, i agree, not being sarcastic, goku dying when he should does sound too good to be true
though the rest of the news sucks for me, if it is released in october or sooner it means the movie is being rushed
The date is still going to be 2009 everyone
…. There not going to put it out this year, Trust me!!!! This is a big budget movie and there is no way there going to make it a Summer/Fall 2008 release. There hasn’t been any advertisement yet remember? If you believe that it is coming October this year then you have to support the Summer release to. He never said the first Dragonball movie will premiere this year. He was probally talking about a 2009 Summer/fall release or maybe it was just a bad translation!! I think he was trying to explain how they might start filming the Dragonball sequal in October. They probally just translate it wrong!!
LEts please move on to real news everyone!!!! The date is still set to
April 8th 2009
Lets talk about how Tim Van said “Another source of production reported that the blue skies of Durango is another very important reason”. Does that mean there will be flying???? I really hope this is true
Lets talk about the real issues like how Tim Van Rellim reveals that Goku dies in the beginning of the second part of Dragonball. The Second part could mean the sequal and that’s good, because Goku does die in the Saiyan saga. I hope this is true, because that means will finally get to see Radditz, Nappa, and the Prince of saiyans rise.
i really dont believe this news coreywilson10 this seems a bit premature. Lets think about this news based on what we already know. This christina inman already said the release date is set in stone and that its too soon to talk sequels they are waiting to see if this movie does well….yall really think that not even two months after wrapping the film and before pre production even ends that fox would already be planing another possibly 100 million dollar sequel? im not a movie expert like you coreywilson10 but lets use some logic for this one…this news is bogus.
The only important news was Goku dying in the beginning of the second part of Dragonball… aka Dragonball Z (whether they’ll keep the Z or just say 2???) And honestly, I don’t know what to think because the translation isn’t that great either, but thanks for trying anyway Adam
And just to let some of you know, Hoycinema hasn’t lied or given false information concerning Dragonball so far…that’s something you can rely on I think. But I could be wrong
Oh and Adam, if you want I can give you Gozar’s e-mail address here or I can e-mail it to you. I’d prefer to e-mail it to you to keep it a secret from stalkers
yes they have been reliable and I love movieland they hook us up with alot of news , but i just cant 100 percent belive all this information…what if this movie bombs in the box office…fox would already be filming the second movie based on this information…also this would mean they have a script ready or they are planning it which is probably so the qriters are probably brainstorming…but even if they are they changed alot about the first movie….i think they will significantly change the saiyan saga aswell…its my opinion that this news is false.
Well actually Sean is kind of right Dbzfan11!! Movieland hasn’t been wrong about any of the Dragonball news yet. They always have reliable sources!!
ok yeah the movies coming out in october and they will film the sequel around the time the new movie comes out yeah lets see if that happens lol. And movie land hasnt been wrong about any information? are you willing to bet on that?
@DBZFan11: Name one thing Joker’s been wrong about then.
It appears Movieland was wrong, and filming will conclude March 15th instead of March 9th. They say the cast will leave Durango at different dates, and the first is Chow Yun-Fat (Master Roshi) on March 7th. All of the cast will have left by March 15th.
A few readers have also said there is a possibility of a Dragonball trailer on March 21st, during the film Shutter. I don’t know if there’s any truth to this, but it’s possible since Shutter is being released by 20th Century Fox
haha happy ha i had to look on this site to find that really hard
that was just one small thing want me to prove my point further?
@J: How could you have seen it yesterday? It came out today. Don’t lie.
Chatwin never gets to live in his movies. Geez.
You still haven’t shown us any proof Dbzfan11
There sources was still right, because the cast still left around March Dbzfan11. Oh yeah!! Why are you quoting what the readers said???? lol
Ha ha ha ha
Bucky is right
Chatwin always supposedly dies in his movies then comes back!! He is fuckin’ cool for that. That’s Goku all the way!!!!
Goku dies in the begining of the second movie… OK. Sounds like a good idea seeing as Goku basically died in the begining of DragonBallZ. I just say ‘bring it on’.
XD
@DBZFan11: Things changed with what was happening on set, they were never wrong, and he said it would wrap by March 15th, not exactly on that day. Stuff like that is unpredictable, but he still gave us a very accurate and reliable date. Who cares if it’s a couple extra days? Things change all the time on set, something could go wrong at any time. Don’t bring childish things like that up. And the thing about Shutter were just rumors and he very clearly stated that, he never said it was official…cause if he did I would’ve been there opening night. Did you misunderstand what I said? Name something he said was true that turned out to be false.
@Karai: Oh yeah… bring it on XD
Good job Sean!!!! Lol
Whoaaaa Sean went super saiyan on you Dbzfan11
sean how is that not incorrect info they said it would finish wrapping on one date and it didnt wrap that day how is that information correct…movieland said it would wrap on a day and they were wrong and i said thats one small thing i found after looking for an etire two seconds theres more stuff they have been wrong about my point is and i proved it is movieland is not 100 percent correct on all there information like u claim they are….just say touche dbzfan and move on with your life lol oh and i didn mean to copy the shutter part completely not my point…i thik u should calm down tho u get way to upset sean about bloggers opinions your the man
and coreywilson you must be in high school cuzz i used myspace when i was a freshman in high school too now that im in college i use facebook because no college student uses myspace…wha went super saiyan on you…bra this is a blog my point was movieland is not 100 percent correct on everysingle thing and im right…so what now
ya, to me it seems as if Dragonball 2 (I guess they are removing the Z because it sounds random for people new to the series… so best bet is dragonball 2 and 3.) will focus on the saiyan saga and begin with raditz and goku and piccolo teaming up.
@DBZFan11: Uh…ok
Just tryin to prove a point that’s all
Hey Adam, did that e-mail register successfuly?
um hes talking about the second movie goku dies at the start you morons lol
well u did a good job of doing that..u asked me to name one thing they were wrong about and adam on this site stated…”it appears movieland was wrong” look i dont want blog beef your opinion is yours and i will respect it…this site is great in the sense that usually theres good conversation about speculation and peoples opinions and i like hearing what people think and have to say about this movie…lets not degrade this site with stupid he said she said conversation theres no reason why we cant act like adults…besides coreywilson10
and my moms a movie producer i grew up around movie sets so i have a pretty good idea on how much changes during a filming duration…movieland probably had a good source that told them the movie would wrap on a certain date…things have to be reshot all kinds of things to delay a movie wrapping..movieland is human and its okl to make mistakes all im saying is their info is not always 100 percent concrete info….usually no website is like that.
lol ha, ha, ha, ha
Why you getting personal Dbzfan????
Lets not talk about me!! You don’t make any sence anyways, myspace is the place to be. My homie Joon Park is on there and he’s cool as heck!! So is Emmy Rossum and Shavon Kirksey. Shavon Kirksey!!!! She is sooo pretty! By the way im not in highschool dude I work at Capsule corp.
Emi and Weaver are my best friends
@DBZFan11: I thought we dropped this. And you said I was getting mad? Just proving a point bra lol. WTF??? Did you just call Corey a bra? JK man, your most certaintly right everyone has an opinion, and I love to hear other peoples opinion too…. but not when it’s for the bad…cause that’s where I step in and prove em’ wrong, and as usual, I’m always right
Do you dare try to prove me wrong again? I will smite the, and bury your ass in the ground XD
Very good news! If he dies in the beginning oh the sequel then King Kai must be in it. If thats the case the he would learn Kaoken and the spirit bomb to use on Vegeta and Nappa!
we all know goku will die in the second part of dragonball!!! remember that piccolo fired the special beam cannon at goku and raditz and killed them both. so, that is what they are talking about!! the SAIYAN SAGA!!!!
I’m 100% sure that when he says “second part” he means the sequel becasue that’d mean they need to shoot half the movie, but they’re already done. So yeah, there’s no way “second part” means second part of the movie.
@Sean: Dude, you’ve stolen my name lol. What’s up with that, you tryin to be me?
@J:
Spanish is my main language and the translation is correct.
The producer said that the movie will be released on this summer or at the very late October (of this year) because they still start filming the sequel at the end of THIS year. Thats what it says in spanish. The translation is correct.
@JoseMP: Thank you so much JoseMP for translating. You are the only one I know who speaks Spanish.
It’s obviously the producer is lying, Just to confuse us!!
I still haven’t seen any posters or official pics yet…. Even Harry Potter puts there posters out a year before it comes out. We haven’t got any of that yet.
Oh yeah!! Thanks JoseMP for the translation dude….
You rock!
well if you remember Goku dies in the saiyan saga when piccilo kills raditz but also has to kill Goku to do so. So it makes since that they are saying he will die in the 2nd movie. Which just means he would have to do training with king kai, before he comes back to beat off nappa, and vegeta which vegeta would be the biggest fight scene in the second movie.
That is my guess =]
@JoseMP: Okay, that’s good to know then. So when he says ’second part’ does he mean the sequel? I’m just trying to confirm this.
@J: YES.
@Adam: You talked about the podcast thing with Gozar yet?
of course its the sequel, spanish is my main language as well, but even in the translation you can clearly understand that it talks about the sequel
@Sean: Yes, and there is no way I’m doing it with him. See Super Hero Hype.
WOOO!!! sequel! cant wait now. (also cant wait for the first movie)
@Adam: Yes I read that, what happened? I was shocked, I didn’t see that happening at all. When I taked to him about it he seemed very excited. I guess he’s not a fan of Canadian’s lol…sorry that wasn’t funny
@Darren: Screw the first one, I can’t wait to see the sequel :3
lol i think the first one will be interesting… even though i am a bigger dragon ball z fan over dragon ball
but it will be cool and give us something to look forward to before the much bigger fights with nappa and vegeta =]
hey corey and dbzfan we dont need any blog beef. noangry tex,type by’s,email shankings or blog jumping.so lets just be friends and plus i got corey back so cut it out.
btw, what the the hell is blog beef?
So according to JoseMP, the translation is correct? That’s pretty awesome news. I’m looking forward to some Vegeta/Goku fighting lol.
And Corey, you say that Dragonball isn’t getting enough advertising right now and that means its not coming this year? Let me introduce you to a little friend called “Indiana Jones IV.” They pretty much didn’t start promoting it until January or February 2008 and the movie comes out this May.
It is perfectly reasonable for the movie to come out this year. My best bet (if it is indeed coming this year) would be October.
If this makes me seem kinda like a douche, sorry lol. Didn’t mean to come off that way.
@Randy: You don’t sound like a douche at all, Randy. You are actually making sense.
Thanks Adam.
By the way, how do you put the little avatar thingy on my comments?
@Randy: Go to http://www.gravatar.com and make an account for free. Then you can add whatever avatar you want.
@Randy: http://www.gravatar.com
Sign up there. =D
@Adam: Thanks man
Alright I did it. Thanks again to both of you.
No problem Adam and Corey
@Adam:
I guess Gozar aka “Fat Bitch” didn’t like what I had to say and sent me a nice little hate message lol. What a baby, I tried to be civilized and he’s gonna be a bitch about it XD
@Sean: That is so uncool. I thought he was bigger than that.
Just goes to show you how disrespectful some people can be about something as childish as this…And he’s still talking about it on his page. F*** it, I’ve end this discussion.
@Adam: LOL, you mean bigger or more civilized?
Who’s Gozar? lol. Link me up so I can check out what he’s saying
@Randy: No, let’s move on from that.
Oh ok my bad.
@Adam: Instead go here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bMd5dDP–1s
@Adam: Sorry dude, I posted after I saw your post.
@jacksterson: Before time began there was, the balls. That was fuckin hilarious…
This movie will own.
I’m going to do a few voices in the 5th episode!! w00t!
@Sean #2 Hey sorry my name is Sean too heheh, I’ll be Sean #1 and you can be Sean#2.
EH. I just want a damn teaser.
@Sean #1: What’s up Sean#2, I’m your better half lol.
@Sean: No wait I’m #2? This is bullshit!lol
Whos the real Sean? Im confused… my head is going to explode!
@JoseMP: LOL, I was hear first actually, no offense to the supposedly #1 Sean lol. You can tell who is who by the gravatar. I have Avenged Sevenfold and he has nothing yet…you better not get the same XD That would just be too weird dude…
I’m done for tonight, peace out Corey, Adam, JoseMP, #1 Sean? I’ll catch ya’ll on the flip side….
see you. Have a good night.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: Filming is already complete. They don’t need 12 months for post production. This isn’t “300.”
Fox gave them a deadline of August 15th. They went to Fox and asked for more time for post production. Fox agreed and set the date to April 3rd. They saw that April 8th was Easter so they moved it to April 8th.
However, like Tim Van Rellim says, they faced no setbacks and everything was on schedule. The only reason they moved the date was for post production.
So, he says they will finish post production as quick as possible so the movie will be released this year, and so that they can get to work on the second movie at the end of this year or early next year.
That’s what I understand if this article is true, which at the moment it seems to be.
Lol im sorry Adam to mention your name, but you agreed with him. Please don’t beat me up dude lol
I don’t think the fight would be fare…. My powerlevel is only 0.0000001.
Even turtle is stronger then me!!
Im sorry to get like that, but you know how I get when people mix Dragonball and politics together.
I still disagree!!
Like I said Do we have a clue of how Goku is going to be like in Dragonball? No!! It’s April and we still haven’t got any idea. We are starting to get to know Piccolo. Which is good, because it’s making the anticipation go up. The reason why they advertise little on Indiana Jones, because we already have an ideal what’s it about. We need to get to know are characters from the movie. October is way to early and so is August. December is ok, but 2009 is much better. People need anticipation Adam!!
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: I have a feeling they will start promoting within a couple weeks.
Believe me, all it takes is a teaser and the internet will light up with, “What, they’re making a Dragonball movie?”
@Adam:
I totally agree with u on that.
For now, corey and the rest of us will just have to wait til that happens.
If this is real all i can say is….YAY!!!! That date isnt set in stone and we could get it this year
i was never on board with the april release date so this makes me happy even if its fake 
we should know within the next month or so if its gonna be released this year so… with all the spoilers and leaks out there i cant imagine they’d keep the one year release date it just makes no sense theres just to much at risk of more leaks.
I hope your right Adam! If you are, then May is going to be one exciting month
Will probably get a Teaser in June or July!!
If we get one in May…… Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
that would be freakin’ alwsome, that would be unexpected. WOw!! I hope they do
Another source of production reported that the blue skies of Durango is another very important reason. “In New Zealand there are very similar skies, but the sets are infested with Power Rangers.” What the heck dies that mean?
Cmon Fox, bring on somemore! *WARCRY…*
But guys, once the official movie trailer and pictures come out I am so gonna have a seizure Lol… *sucks in breath* Brace yourselves…
Though, this “SPOILERS” is not big, but its better then nothing. So thanks! ^_^ But I’m I really want some spoilers for this Dragonball movie. I was hoping for like how Goku going to be, or they’re will be some Comedy! (remember people, Dragonball was a action “AND” comedy show/manga!)
All I know is that James Wong has made some pretty kick-ass endings so far. I don’t think he’d leave us hanging with Goku dead at the end of the first movie, but he’d definitely find some way to bring us back for the next one.
Heck, even if they recreated the ending of “The One,” with Piccolo standing on a pyramid and beating the crap out of everybody, I’d be happy.
“I am Piccolo! I nobody’s bitch! You… are mine!”
*cue Papa Roach*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=292vQgojGMA
(contains One spoiler)
I totally agree with Chris!! The ending of “The One” was gangsta.
Jet Li went out real gangsta at the end….
I would luv to see Jet Li play Frieza. He would be alwsome!!
yeah, jet li would be amazing as freeza, except for his voice
that sounds pretty logical adam, still it seems too early for me, i had expected a lot more time was going to be needed for post production
the good thing about this is that, if true, we´ll get trailers and posters very soon
anyway my birthday is in october so id be awesome to have dragonball released in my lucky month
Does anyone here think Goldberg should play Nappa in the next movie
I feel disappointed in myself that even though
the title of this article said “MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS”
I couldn’t resist reading it.
>_>
For all the fans of DB, i bring u a half time vid
http://youtube.com/watch?v=awTI1FOLFa0
Come to think of it. I think it would be better if they didn’t do too much post-production. I mean, like Adam said its not 300. The whole movie isn’t going to be 3d Graphics, its live action!
-sigh- Though… the movie is live action, I was hoping for a more grungy type movie. Not the clean, futuristic and happy-go-lucky lifestyle. I mean who wouldn’t want a teenage-orphan-Goku-gone-crazy-beat-the-shit-outta-the-alien-invaders-that-enslave-earth- movie?
Of course set in a grungy downtown chicago style slums. <3
I could care less if it came out in October, and if it did they would still have, 4-6 months of post-production. How long did the filming take? It started at the end of December right…that’s a little over 3 months, and post-production almost always takes longer than the actual filming….like a 98% chance always. Now I think 6 months could work out, considering that’s twice the amount of time it took to actually film it. But of course this could be false, but why would a newspaper completely lie about a made up topic? Or they could be telling the truth and Luis Reyes could be the liar? Who knows, but I honestly believe this to be true, hoycinema hasn’t let me down yet.
It really shouldn’t take long to make movies these days. Most of the technology is in place and post-production is a faster, more cost-efficient process than it’s ever been. Heck, look how quickly they’re spitting out Harry Potter movies and the effects look fine in those.
@Chris:
“Heck, even if they recreated the ending of “The One,” with Piccolo standing on a pyramid and beating the crap out of everybody, I’d be happy.
“I am Piccolo! I nobody’s bitch! You… are mine!” ”
Haha I loved that ending.
Um guys, my friend works at the movie theater and on there list for the summer showing…Dragon Ball is on it. o.O;;
dragonball shouldnt be rushed because they want a triolgy. remember the golden compass.they wanted it to be a trilogy and it was rushed.if i remember correctly it sucked, bombed and trilogy was killed.bad idea fox
@Karai: Are you serious???
@dk318:
Woah, are u serious?? I saw that movie, and the ending definitely looked like it would have a sequel.. but then again, the movie itself was not all that great, so worries here
@dk318: Maybe because it was based on killing God??? That could be it…just thought I’d throw that in here
Yeah guys. I’m serious. Fox has to tell all the movie theaters that they changed the date to April 8th 2009 or the theaters will be really pissed. ._. and my friend isn’t lying. He’s a DBZ fan too.
thats probably the most i fear dk31
but still even if the movie sucks, just for being dragonball it will sell a lot worldwide so its very likely we will get sequels
i mean, it has to suck really really bad for it not to get sequels
@nikooo: Yeah. And its not like they’re going to bash a religious figure like they do in The Golden Compass.
=/
lol.
Kami means paper in Japanese.
Btw. They pretty much would be bashing god. I mean, “God” is a blue insectoid joke-telling fat person in DBZ. XD
*Or if you want to get technical, God is a hippie.
The God in DBZ was technically Kami-sama. *rolls eyes* Or King Yamma. However you want to look at it.
But King Kai was NOT. o.O;;; >.> Dude, he just watches over his galaxy. Blah. King Yamma is more of the God because he decided who went to heaven or hell.
Sort that crap out. =/

“dragonball shouldnt be rushed because they want a triolgy. remember the golden compass.they wanted it to be a trilogy and it was rushed.if i remember correctly it sucked, bombed and trilogy was killed.bad idea fox”
Thank you Dk318!!!! That’s what I’ve been trying too say, but nobody wants to listen to me. They just want to see Dragonball rushed. October is just way to early considering there haven’t been any promotion yet!! If there was promotion I wouldn’t be saying nothing. We need at least 7 to 11 months of anticipation. If they do decide to put Dragonball out in October then Fox has to show something really big to get us hyped!! Something that will make all the people say I want to see Dragonball right now.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: I’m always hyped about it anyway. XD
hey, fyi the da vinci code is one of the most controversial movies of alltime. they took their time making it and it was well done, a box office success, and is now being turned into a trilogy.religous or not if the movie sucks no one will want to see a trilogy about a poorly done fx movie for example the matrix.started strong finished week
@dk318: *doesn’t care about your opinion.* >.>
thanks for having my back corey
then dont read them karaiits just an opinion. ur entitled to ur own which im pretty sure is a good one.thanks for being a class act though
@dk318: You’re welcome.
*smart ass*
But back to what I was saying… Yeah, the theaters still have Dragon Ball written down for the Summer showing. i don’t know what the hell 20th Century Fox is up to. =/
@jacksterson:
“Btw. They pretty much would be bashing god. I mean, “God” is a blue insectoid joke-telling fat person in DBZ. XD
*Or if you want to get technical, God is a hippie.”
Or if you want to get even more technical the supreme old “God” is a pervert (Old Supreme Kai). lol
@Karai: It just means they haven’t decided what exact date to delay it, if at all.
@Adam: Yeah, but if the theater is told as soon as possible, they’ll start moving things around just so they can get Dragon Ball in. If the date is changed after they did all that work, the theaters will have to push everything they did back and they’ll be pissed. 20th Century Fox won’t be liked by all theaters if that happens.
isn’t* not is
all im saying is im a big fan of the manga, ahow and specials. i dont want them to put out a crappy movie for a quick buck. iwant a trilogy bad as any of u.but i also want movies that not are complete mirror images of the show but are tru to the over all tone and feel of show. if done correctly bring on the trilogy baby.and ur welcome karai.nice avatar by the way
@dk318: Thanks ^-^ I like yours too. Sorry for being a smart ass. =/ People were irritating me else where and I couldn’t handle my self. lol
It’s clear that Karai doesn’t know what she’s talking about
She said 20th century Fox won’t be liked by the theaters lol, ha, ha, ha…. You got to be kidding me!! Fox is the one spending around 100,000,000 million making the movie. I say Fox needs to take there time. They just need to put the promotion out if they decide to put it out early. I still think Dragonball will be out 2009.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: Corey, shut the hell up, you asshole. I think the movie will be great if they viewed it in the Summer or October.
If you’re going to be an ass to me, don’t fucking talk to me or talk about me.
Okay Karai, I’m slow, when you say in the summer, do you mean this summer??? I just need to know because they changed the date 3 different times, thinkin okay, it’s finally been confirmed to April 8, 2009… And now, the executive producer says it will be out sooner? So WTF is going on???
Im not aloud to say this, but…..
My sources say that Karai is wrong!!!! Trust me everyone my sources are never wrong. Just put it this way one of my sources is Bubbles. Oh by the way Karai I never was being a a**!! I haven’t once called you a name, and im not going to either! I like being here. Tell me this Karai!! Just, because I disagree with you on something im a a**???? Does that make me bad?
“I just need to know because they changed the date 3 different times, thinkin okay, it’s finally been confirmed to April 8, 2009… And now, the executive producer says it will be out sooner? So WTF is going on???”
Sean has a point Adam!! What the heck is going on boss???? Is that source good or is it just another April fools joke in Mexico??
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: My guesses are it’s complete Bull****
Mexico’s April Fool’s is in December. It can either be old information or new. Sean, I meant this summer or October. That’s what the bascially the producer said.
Fox still hasn’t confirmed with the theaters that the date has been moved. I wish Fox would catch there shit and fix everything already. As it is, someone might get an ulcer. lol
@Karai: True…true
looks like u handle urself just fine karai no offense corey. im not sure about the theaters or whatever but could it be that they havent gotten a revised schuedule for this summer saying the movie has been moved to next year?
Ouch ulcer!! I hope I don’t get one of those…. Please Hurry up Fox!! I need something fast. I’ve already watch all 4 seasons of Dragonball 7 times already. Ouch im starting to feel it now Karai….
Hold me Shavon!!
Hey Emperor Adam! You still haven’t change Shavon Kirksey name yet at the casting page. Why?
Im sure she looks at this page and wonders who in the heck is Shirvon Kirksey? Her name is Shavon Kirksey dude!! Sorry, don’t mean to correct you boss.
@dk318: I dunno. My friend, Jordan, that works there jsut checked it recently. It said Dragon Ball for the summer. He didn’t bother looking until I talked to him about the movie two days ago.
*ignores Corey*
thanks for the info iv got a cousin who works at a theater. i’ll squeeze him for info and see if i get anything.
dude,corey i cover my ears when i read your text because i can visualize bouncing off of walls do to pure excitement.lol
@dk318: lol cute.
@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10: I bet she’s never been to this site or any other sites that have to do with DB. No offense, Adam.
Whoaaa I should have known Karai was really Isabella. She is known for calling people names.
I wonder what will be her new name tomorrow? Im guessing Weaver!
i just called my cousin in louisiana and he said the exact thing karai said that its still being prep’ed to premire in the theaters at the end of this year.he also said they added a message on the movie phone thing at the call station that says this and their affiliated partners have no news on dragonball so direct your questions elsewhere.i thought that was funny

Dude!! What are you talking about? lol
im just saying corey you have to be one of the most “jazzed” if you will, dragonball fans ive ever met.its not a diss or anything bro im just saying from your messages it sounds like your on a crunk juice i.v. or something
Hey guys! I’m just wondering whats going on in this here in-tar-webz. Anyways, i g2g back to class. The teacher is hounding me about some kinda of equinox or something haaha! Talk to you later guys!!!
@dk318: Crunk juice lol…yeah Corey, your just so damn hyped up man, but every time I read your comments I can’t help but laugh…And I hardly laugh anymore, haha no seriously
Hey Adam aka Emperor/Boss, when is JP going to do that interview with Brian man? I’m dyin here without any news, it’s like my balls are inert or something!
Oh and here’s a pic a guy from the IMDb boards posted about Piccolo; he said he contacted one of the visual artists or something and she sent him this pic? It looks like a namekian catfish to me lol. You gotta check this out anyway:

@Sean: Not for a while, I don’t think. Maybe next month.
@Adam: Oh well, I guess he was too busy right?
i just wanted to point out that goku did die when piccolo and him were facing off against raditz in the early part of the series. so goku could die at the beggining of the sequel if they’re planning to do one on the saiyan saga after they get done with king piccolo.
I think I’m keeping my name this way.
*Rolls eyes at a certain annoying person.*
@ SEan
… Omgosh… Is that actually…
That doesnt look like a catfish to me t looks like an actual Namek O.O Could that be a CG-render of what Marster’s makeup should be like in the movie?O.o

i think it’s a good idea to have goku die because that gives the rest of the cast a reason to summon Shenron (and i think CGI Shenron would look absolutely amazing, and it’s not like they could do him any other way) and Piccolo will sommon the dragon in dragonball 1 probably because he wants immortality just like every other villain of the DB sagas.
Jeff the DBZ kid whiz has spoken.
Hey buttheads producing the movies….HOW ABOUT A MOVIE PREVIEW. I have waited and waited…now I’m tired of waiting. I mean the antisapation is driveing me insane. I know thier out thier some were, the movie is way over due.
gosh dammit if your a real fan of dragon ball you should no thats not a fuckin spoiler…ofcourse goku is gonna die thats how fuckin dragon ball z start..stop making a big deal out of shit that SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN fuckin nazis
An explanaition for Goku’s death?:
He dies because Piccolo kills him and Raditz, which would be the beggining of the saiyan saga.
Less CGI more latex, blood, and fist:
I’m kind of sad this movie isn’t more of a really gory sort of cartoony b- movie like Nightmare on Elm Street meets Howard the Duck meets Terminator brought to life in a beautifull 2010 neo 80s 50s ultra heavy metal rubber action way.
In the recent set pictures from Durango, I was happy to see Bulma’s costume and especially her hair. The leather and the spandex in the photos so far kind of make me excited in 2 ways. The first it kind of reminds me of karate kid mixed with of course dragonball. The second I just like to see women in leather and spandex.
On the more realistic side the photos also kind of look like high school musical mixed with final destination. I KNOW this movie WILL become like a mix of the two with the sort of lets make CGI emotional with the video game morality zietgiest leftover from LOTR, Spiderman, Star Wars 1-3 and the recent foray of superhero films like superman. All of these aforementioned movies hugely iconic bearing a lot of hopes for moviegoers and all were, for the exception of a few scenes of crazy CGI action, exceptional let downs.
It would be awesome if they relied as heavily on live action stuff as they could and then just tinged it with CGI where they hadto to make it just realistic enough.
AN IMAGE:
Lastly, the movie would start with an anthropomorphic dog in a trenchcoat. (Mcgrough? thief futuristic Mcrough P.I. from Dragonball) He would be examining a dragonball he found in sort of a first scene never happened James Bond type thing. He would be in a bar then King piccolo finds him and punches a gory ditch into his animatronic face then he’d fly wire fu style breaking glass across the futuristic bar in Satan city.
King Piccolo wouldn’t kill CGI people in sloppy mass production but a carefully coreographed mess of individual humans and antrhopomorphic animals one after another with hugely cartoony gory results with super flashy beams and punches resulting in nauseating latex flesh, and red syrup. Dragonball was more about the lowflying, gunslinging, spaceship running across the walls basic wire fu dynamics wich is why I think this movie would be so good if it were all just low tech with some CGI exhaggerations here and there.
WHAT IF?:
That’s the dragonball that would certainly become a wierd cult movie but also engraving itself into atleast a niche, however small it may be. But the dragonball movie could be huge with a certain take achieving the likes of a sort of freaky mix between Batman karate kid and the wierd cartoony massive Hindu vedic like foray that is dragonball. This movie if done the right way could be as big as the Karate Kid series or dare I say the batman series. Our cultural DNA is too important to be throwing it away on CGI dollars for quick fixes.
But if all goes according to plan I would equate the viewing experienc of the new Dragonball movie to eating a bowl of ice cream.
here is a thought….I dont think any one wants to see this movie if it isent going to be as good as say….IRON MAN, or BATMAN. It even said something bout Freddy on ELM ST…..in its day that movie was ahead of its time with graphics and the story line….even though that is hard to say with a straight face. lol If their isent a 100% garrentee that this movie is going to be a block buster hit “THEN DONT MAKE IT!”. I don’t want to see cheesy wire flying…I want superman/matrix flying. They don’t have the budget?….THEN DON’T MAKE IT. Personaly I liked CGI effects when thier used right. I want some more actors I recognize then just Goku. They cant get more names on thier roster?….THEN DON’T MAKE IT. Who doesen’t want to see Weisly Snipes play piccholo???? My point is none of the fans of dragon ballz want to be dissapointed by this movie at all. Ever since I was a little boy I knew this anime had potential to out shine any special effects movie on the market. I don’t want a bunch of cheesy acting by a bunch of no named, talentless, crap on my dream actors in this movie that I personally have looked forward to for a long, long time. After all the dedication by us fans, we deserve alot better. All I’m saying is that we want this movie to be nothing but great. We want a promise its going to be as good like, say batman or superman or final destination. Please for the love of god, if the movie isen’t going to be nothing but perfect and mindblowingly amazing THEN DONT MAKE IT. they need to keep in mind that those movies they decided to spit out in our e-mails were ALL BLOCK BUSTERS. pulling in hundreds of millions in just a few weeks. Is this DBZ movie going to be the same as these other movies, like death note or is it going to explode on the big screen??? give us a real answer. We deserve better then cheesy wire flying, and I think everyone would agree.
@Maddog_killa23
Justin Chatwin is not the only big name actor doing this movie. They also have Chow Yun-Fat (Master Roshi/Turtle Hermit), Emmy Rossum (Bulma), Randall Duk Kim (Grandpa Gohan), as well as Ernie Hudson(Master Mutaito(Roshi’s Sensei)). This film has a pretty big budget approx. $100,000,000 and from production pictures I’ve seen they plan on using CGI for a lot more things than you might think. As for Wesley Snipes as Piccolo I personally don’t see that working at all he doesn’t have the right look, mind you I believe they might have found someone better than James Masters (From Buffy The Vampire Slayer).
As for the release date it’s clearly labeled on many websites(including highly credible ones) as April 8th, 2009. My thoughts on the “summer or October” release is for Dragonball Z. Also about the whole protagonist dying off it’s Goku if you have ever seen the series you would know that he dies in Episode 4 while pinning Raditz so Piccolo can get a clear shot with his ‘Special Beam Cannon’. That would not be a dissapointment to me in any way as there would be no other way for him to learn both Kaoken and Spirit Bomb techniques he learns from King Kai. Both of which are very much essential to keep true to the anime story line(Saiya-jin Saga, Frieza Saga, and Buu Sagas). I also hope just to do justice to the series that they will do more than 3 movies because in 3 movies theres only so much that can be covered (e.g. King Piccolo Saga, Saiya-jin Saga, and Frieza Saga) which wouldn’t even cover HALF the series. Figure 291 Episodes (276 released in US other 15 supposedly coming out in Uncut Season Boxsets) and the Frieza Saga ends with Episode 91 - Namek’s Explosion - Goku’s End. My only irk with this movie is that it would seem Krillin is not included he may seem like a needless character to some but he’s essential to the story who else would Goku train with at Master Roshi’s? How else would he get off the Spirit Bomb that annihilates Vegeta? And How else would he become enraged enough to become a Super Saiya-jin? They even included Yamcha who’s only role really was as the desert bandit which to my knowledge they skip completely over that part of the series.

Pay attention the article said:
PRODUCTION PREMIERE!
NOT MOVIE PREMIERE!
I hope goku dies in the second movie, then maybe he can train with king kai!!
cant believe it they changed the whole dragonball plot… this sucks… they said that the humans made the dragonballs and goku is not an alien but was born on earth and the dragonballs chose him to protect the earth when he was born
