I use the term “new” loosely since so far we’ve had 3 of these, but enjoy another Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) versus Mai (Eriko Tamura) tournament video, courtesy of Jenova Anime.

Jenova Anime has once again provided more photos from the set of Dragonball. This time, a closer look at the Fulum assassins. Click to enlarge.

Dragonball Movie Blog reader Tallai sent in a set report from the Mexico City shoot which lasted from November to December before moving to Durango in January. Because there are a few contradictions in this report, we are classifying it as a rumor.

There were vaious scenes in the highschool during about the first half of the story. They had 4 groups of differnt extras. The 4 groups were, Outside the school, Inside the school, Goku’s class room, and the hall ways. There were about a good 20 people in each shot. The scene he was in was the outside of the school. This was the first shot they show of the school, Goku was walking in down the street to get to school. He crossed the road, and got to the school. The first few promotional pics were for that scene. How ever there was speculation going around that there was a car crash… there was no car crash in that scene. Either they added it in later I dont no but that was the scene.

Working with the crew was amazing, even though I was only there for 2 weeks I got to meet Justin Chatwin. He was soo comitted to getting Goku right. He, in my opinion, took this movie more seriously then anyone else. James wong was a great director, he just basiclly told us what to do and we all just went and did that scene. I was surprised that for 1 of the scenes there were quite a few blocking mistakes but he decided that the scene was all right. It felt a bit rushed through out those 2 days because we managed to cram in almost 20 scenes in 1 day. Everyone was in a constant rush. I didnt get too meet any other cast member personally other than Justin. I did see James Marsters but I didnt see Emmy any where. James Masters was another one of the guys who made sure he gave 100 %. I cant say much about the sets because it would be breaking my agreement. But I can say that the sets that I saw were astonishing. It felt like these sets took years to make, but in fact it only took a few months. Everything felt like it was in the right place at the right time. The extras were also used as extras in the tournament. We were the audience. They just basically told us that go crazy. Yell as loud as you can!

The promoting of the film wont start for a while. We were told that about late October to mid November we can see a teaser trailer, but hopefully it will come out before. This movie has alot of surprises that no one would ever expect. Working in James Wong’s adaptaion of Dragonball was amazing, and I cant wait to see this movie when it comes out next April.

Jenova Anime has uploaded another video from the tournament in which Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) fights Mai (Eriko Tamura). They were also kind enough to provide DBtheMovie with another leaked video.

Dragonball Movie Blog reader Nick sent in a scan from the American publication Shonen Jump. The images were all previously released and it doesn’t reveal much of anything, but hey! it’s promotion.
