Transformers and Harry Potter? Reeeaalllyy? . . . What anime was I watching then? XD

Um, so, yeah, interesting combo choice to describe the story there. But I liked the “whimsy” part. Whimsy is good for a movie based on DB.

THANKS CRAIG!!
on 16 Sep 2008 at 11:11 pm #26Masenko-Huh?

Yay!!!!!!! I’m so happy they are leaning more to a fantasy style soundtrack than action. Thanx for the news!!!!!!
on 16 Sep 2008 at 11:12 pm #27LD

finally new news. This was okay…

Does anybody else watch those really well done parodies of DragonBall Z by ‘Team Four Star’ on youtube? You should, they’re so funny and worth your time.
on 16 Sep 2008 at 11:22 pm #28Breasts are full

Finally some news!!! Good to hear he’s looking towards the anime for inspiration. It has some great themes. I think he’s talking about the light magical tone of the series in how it’s like harry potter. Their scores reflected the fantasy and mystical elements in them. But hopefully this will be very asian inspired too. I personally would like the movie’s music to be like a wuxia mixed with pee wee’s funhouse. What the hell ya know…
on 16 Sep 2008 at 11:50 pm #29Ace

a combo of transformers and harry potter? lol ok now THAT was something i wasn´t expecting…although meh why not (don´t flame me, but transformers was great in my opinion and well if he talks about harry potter because of fighting skills in DB that seems “magical” for him like kamehameha or some energy attacks, why not ^^)

on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:42 am #32REPAIR MAN MAN

@LD: i watch them. theyre hilarious
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:47 am #33REPAIR MAN MAN

I wish they could show us a portion of the soundtrack. Id like to hear how it sounds.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:55 am #34REPAIR MAN MAN

u kno, the music may be good. but i wonder if steven chow even knows the script of dragonball. i saw an old post from adam, and he did not speak a word of english. maybe hes just giving money to make the movie and thats it. lol.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 2:05 am #35dah

…
um in Canada me and my brother only ever heard Rock The Dragon when we rented the DBZ movies but it’s good that he didn’t say \

“This is an action film, so the scores gonna be like Deathrace”

O.O I was expecting that.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 5:30 am #39SSJtommy

sounds good
cant wait till the movie comes out
on 17 Sep 2008 at 5:43 am #40SSJ3000

@dah: yeah good point dude… as long as its not music based on all those crappy amv’s people have created… man that shit annoys the hell out of me… why has that even become a THING TO DO in the first place… its retarded
on 17 Sep 2008 at 7:05 am #41J

crap! I’m at my university so I can’t listen for a few hours, lol.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 7:19 am #42Gosha

Cool, nice bit of news the music is important in any movie, it really creates the scene and builds up the atmosphere (sounds smart lol) so i think the music is really gonna make this movie fantastical well, it will be fantastical and incredible anyways but you know its gonna be fancredible haha
on 17 Sep 2008 at 8:08 am #43Destored

Harry Potter and Transformers…
I never seen that in Dragonball.

Giant robots with wands

fantasically useless? Shut up…
on 17 Sep 2008 at 10:46 am #47Fray Summers

Dude, “a combination of Transformers and Harry Potter”? Ok, I don’t know if I’m just sick ’bout the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack (’couse, man, I can’t stop listening to that!) but do you think it’ll be good? ._.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 11:03 am #48Trey

Fantastical????
on 17 Sep 2008 at 11:09 am #49Jadix

I had a dream about the movie and it was kinda bad. lol
on 17 Sep 2008 at 11:33 am #50LD

@Repairman

Yeah Repairman knows whats up. Team Four Star DBZ parodies are hilarious check um!
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:12 pm #51ROb

Awesome, I like the Harry Potter music.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:25 pm #52RJ

@http://www.myspace.com/coreywilson10:

You are always hyper man, I need whatever you drink because I swear they drug it up lmao.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:29 pm #53RJ

@RJ:

maplestory ftw.

I like the music in maplestory..

.. maybe they should have went to the korean developers of Dragonball Online and got some tracks from their game and tried to model the movie soundtrack around that. Toriyama is the supervisor for that entire fuckin’ game… it’s going to be amazing.

So remember kids no matter how much DB the movie might disappoint you we all will still have DBO!! the TRUE successor to Dragonball
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:33 pm #54elliott

they better have the kamehameha!
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:47 pm #55sajin0084.deviantart.com

…1 month till the trailer comes out…that is all…
on 17 Sep 2008 at 12:56 pm #56Sean

Adam get on AIM. Nice interview btw.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:08 pm #57Masenko-Huh?

@RJ: Woot!!! another fan that remembers the ocean dub!!!! I used to watch it on CDN chanels first and then saw the US version and said what the hell did they do??? I always liked the ocean dub better, especially for the opening, but meh just my opinion.

to everyone that has no idea what I’m babbling about, follow the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEHMhRT0Du0
I love the db opening too, its catchy. so glad they aren’t going with the heavy dark stuff like most action flicks…maybe for the sequel tho…

@sajin0084.deviantart.com: less than a month if it hit the net before the 17th
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:37 pm #59Mr. Nuggets

podcast? ADAM???
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:48 pm #60Destored

I was always a big big fan of the Ocean Dub. But thats because im from the UK…

Funimation is still the best though in my opinion.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 1:53 pm #61J

@SSJ Jon: Then he kind of ruined the illusion of knowing what he’s talking about by saying the anime is a mix of Transformers and Harry Potter.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 2:20 pm #62steven B.

so adam when’s the next podcast?
on 17 Sep 2008 at 2:34 pm #63Adam

@Sean: You stay on AIM. Send it to my e-mail.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 2:35 pm #64sajin0084.deviantart.com

@J:
He was saying that dragonball has giant robots and futureistic themes(transformers) but also magic and mystical power are in it to ( like harry potter).
Dragonball defianatly had lots of magic stuff in it. Master roshie had an imortal bird…that died, flying nimbus, talking animals, bubba, monsters. On the sci fi side well how many aliens are there in dragonball? just like transformers with lots of mech, flying cars, andriod 8. I wonder if the military force in the movie will be called the red ribbon army. Perhaps it was they who unleashed piccolo in the movie looking for some sought of new power for the army. Perhaps that could be a way of tying a Cell saga movie into the movie sereies.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 2:35 pm #65Jadix

@J: will the u.s. have the db online cause last I heard it was asia only? Will there be a new series or is it just a couple of shorts?
on 17 Sep 2008 at 3:23 pm #66K-Mart

Wow…This is lame.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 3:31 pm #67SSJ Spartan

I liked how described it . . .Fantastical. Oh man, I have a feeling that’s gonna catch on . Good news. Thanks Craig
on 17 Sep 2008 at 3:47 pm #687BaLlZz

@RJ: I drink that Namek juice my friend!! It gets me crunked. It’s Fantastical!!!!
on 17 Sep 2008 at 4:33 pm #70Sean

@K-Mart: Sounds good to me
on 17 Sep 2008 at 4:49 pm #71Zerolus

When he says “a combination of Transformers and Harry Potter,” don’t take him so literally. In terms of presentation it’s completely original, but in themes it’s not only a combination of fantasy and science fiction, but it’s also ongoing and addictive, with classical sense of good and evil.

I’ll be interested in hearing Brian’s musical take on the Dragon Ball story… I wouldn’t half mind hearing a few remixes of Shunsuke Kikuchi scores as well, mainly the King Piccolo themes. Though that’s probably unlikely.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 4:56 pm #72J

@Jadix: Currently there are no official plans for any release of DB Online outside of Korea. However, I’m sure it will one day be released in the U.S. as they’d be very stupid to pass up the profits made from selling it worldwide. (If you check wikipedia it says 2010 but I doubt that’s official).
on 17 Sep 2008 at 4:58 pm #73J

@Jadix: I meant to say there are no plans of a DB Online release outside of Korea and Japan.

Anyway, about the movie. I wonder if there will be some lame pop/hip-hop songs. Wouldn’t be surprised if there was, especially during the high school/Chi-Chi’s party scenes.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 5:03 pm #74SSJ4Pikachu

@J: Maybe we will hear some stuff from The Jonas Brothers. Liek Zomg >_> God. I seriously hope they have a good music choice.
on 17 Sep 2008 at 6:19 pm #75Mr. Jackass

Slipknot !!!!!!!
on 17 Sep 2008 at 6:41 pm #76K-Mart

@Sean: Meh, Its ok.
on 18 Sep 2008 at 5:47 am #77heason

it will be a orchestral sound track obviously
on 18 Sep 2008 at 7:32 am #78elliott

I still say they better have the kamehameha!!!!!!!!!
on 18 Sep 2008 at 7:34 am #79elliott

i like all three DB, so if they mess this up, it is going to fuck up DB for me.
on 18 Sep 2008 at 3:51 pm #80Mr. Jackass

gt dont count as a db , gt was a big flaming pile of shit . music is ok .
on 18 Sep 2008 at 7:52 pm #81Typhoon859

I hate Transformers (the cartoon) and I hate Harry Potter but I’m obsessed with Dragon Ball Z. I don’t see the connection. Everything this guy said shows how clueless he is. Will the ever be a strand of good news for this movie?
on 18 Sep 2008 at 8:58 pm #82J

@SSJ4Pikachu: Who are the Jonas Brothers? Tween boppers like Hanson way back? Sounds like the type of group who’s music would get in this movie.
on 20 Mar 2009 at 2:28 pm #83Russell Adkins
