Chelo248 informs us of a comment left by Lucille of Emmy Rossum Fan. She states she met James Marsters at Collectormania, and learned the director was only allowing stunt doubles when absolutely necessary.

Random tidbit, but I gained a new appreciation today for how hard Emmy would have worked on Dragonball. I was talking to James Marsters (he plays Piccolo) and he said that it was the hardest job he’d ever had in his life because the stunts were simply so demanding and the director wasn’t letting anybody (including Emmy) fall back on stunt doubles unless it was desperately necessary. I don’t know the extent of Emmy’s stuntwork, but if it’s even half as much as James’ she worked her butt off.

Sour Mikan informs me that the scan is from Weekly Shonen Jump issue number 24 which is available officially this Monday.

I saw the same picture at Shonen Jump Spoiler forum in Japan. #24 is available at Monday officialy. I hope official website will update something at Monday.

I [also] heard that the next issue of Weekly Young Jump (not Shonen Jump) will have an article about this movie.

He also provides us with a translation.

I’ll grant you a wish…!!

And the Chinese character on the Goku’s T-shirts is “Un”(means luck, fate, fortune)

UPDATE: Color scan here!

Emmy Rossum (Bulma) updated her blog today, and while she reveals nothing about Dragonball, she does write something interesting.

Sometimes I wish I could say more about my films before or while they are being made, but I can’t. It is always the prerogative of the filmmakers to decide when and how much information to release about a movie no matter how much an actor is enthusiastic and eager to share their own excitement.

You can read the full post on her blog. Thanks to Lobo for the tip.

Dragonball Movie Blog snagged some (new?) set photos. They really aren’t all that exciting, but we’ll take anything during this drought of news. The pics look like unfinished versions of the volcano set picture /Film posted.

It’s not much, but the official website for the Dragonball movie (www.dragonballthemovie.com) will now redirect you to www.foxmovies.com. Before, the domain did nothing, so this could mean the site is being worked on.

Unfortunately, there is no other news to report on at the moment, but we’ll keep you updated.

According to this new information, we’ll be seeing plenty more of James Marsters in the upcoming trilogy.

“Dragonball – signed on for two more, nothing else currently in the works.”

People put their hands up and he picked them out. We didn’t need a microphone. I will try to remember some of the answers he gave.

* He is signed up for two more Dragonball movies.

That ends the speculation that the younger incarnation of Piccolo (Piccolo Jr.) would be played by another actor.

It’s been over a month since episode 2, and since there’s been so much news lately, a podcast to explain it all, I thought, was needed. Unfortunately, this won’t be an “official” podcast since JP was unavailable, but I felt I should recap what has happened over the last month anyway. So, for today’s episode, it’s just me.

If you’re new to the site, want my opinions on the news, or need a recap on the last month, this podcast might be helpful to you. If you care to waste spend 14 minutes of your life, that is.

Our podcast is also available on iTunes.
