New Mai vs. Chi-Chi Video and Playboy Scan

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Jenova Anime has uploaded yet another Mai (Eriko Tamura) vs. Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) tournament fight video. This one’s probably the shortest so far, but enjoy!

In addition to that, Dukemon from DBMB found a new scan from… Playboy? All of the images were previously released, but it’s something!


We’ve got a translation thanks to my source in Japan.

Live-Action Dragonball premiere date is decided. The Kamehameha will be unleashed all at once throughout Japan on March 13th, 2009.

“This movie is a boy’s coming-of-age tale. And I like Goku very much,” said Justin Chatwin.

Chow Yun-Fat is Master Roshi. What will become of the funny scene “Pafu-Pafu” ?

Emmy Rossum is Bulma. She will ride around on very cool motorcycles.

Now live-action Dragonball is in production in Hollywood, its official premiere date is decided. On Friday the 13th of March 2009 the movie will be released throughout Japan ahead of the world.

Needless to say, Dragonball is the great masterpiece comic of Akira Toriyama. It has sold more than 300 million copies in the world so far, and still continue to sell. In this movie, Hollywood’s hopeful good-looking young actor Justin Chatwin plays starring role Goku. He talked about his favorite scenes, “I think it is the action scenes. They are filled with many very ambitious scenes we have never seen before. Kamehameha is very challenging too.”

The brilliant actress Emmy Rossum plays Bulma who travels with Goku. “The emperor Asian movie” Chow Yun-Fat plays Master Roshi. James Marsters plays lord Piccolo. And Japanese world-class actress who is active in Hollywood Eriko Tamura plays Mai. Though many of this movie is still veiled in secrecy, here are four very rare pictures that Shuupure (Weekly Playboy) got secretly. How will Goku prevent the ambitious Piccolo from taking over the world? Next March, its secret will become clear.

James Marsters on Piccolo (Again)

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Dragonball Movie Blog reader Spikesgurl posted part of the Q&A with James Marsters at Grand Slam. He talks about Piccolo, and some trouble with the producers. Needless to say, he’s still pumped for the role.

Ariel Shaw (300, Final Destination) is the visual effects supervisor.

Comparison: Cast

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

A little over a month ago, I compared each James Wong film to give you a better idea of what movie style to expect. Then, I compared the fighting styles of different movies that James Wong, Stephen Chow, and 87Eleven (stunts) were involved in.

Today I will be doing comparisons of the cast. The purpose of this is to see their acting range, to give you a better idea of how well they can act as their respective character.

Justin Chatwin (Goku)
Although having “Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2” on your resume isn’t something to brag about, Justin has also starred in some pretty good roles. In “War of the Worlds,” he played an annoying but realistic teenager, in “The Invisible” he played a teen who was killed and forced to walk around the world trying to convince people he was still alive, and in “The Chumscrubber” he played a foul-mouthed bully, a role which Ebert and Roeper called a “strong performance.” Take a look at a sample of his work in the television series “Lost.”

James Marsters on Dragonball Z

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

This is completely unrelated to the live action movie, but I thought it was interesting that James Marsters knew of Dragonball Z before he was cast as Lord Piccolo.

We have a very normal relationship based on Dragonball Z…
- James talking about his relationship with his son
