Wow... it gets worse. In select ways, at least.

From Film Junk:

"When it was first announced that a Dragonball movie was actually happening, a lot of people couldn’t comprehend how such an over-the-top, stylized animated series would possibly work in a live action setting. Then Stephen Chow came on board as a producer and suddenly it seemed like there might be hope. Of course, the movie was originally supposed to be ready for this summer, but Fox ended up pushing it back to April 2009. No official explanation was given, but some wondered if it might be the first sign of trouble. The fact that the movie also had no presence at the San Diego Comic Con only deepened suspicions.

This week we received word from an anonymous source that there may be some truth to this speculation after all. According to our tipster, the higher-ups at Fox are not too impressed the footage that has been shot thus far, and are seriously debating shutting the whole thing down. Now I have no idea if this is a real possibility or if the studio is just putting pressure on director James Wong to deliver, but the movie supposedly has a budget of over $100 million and I can understand them wanting to cut some losses while they still can. The thing is, if this is all true, it only makes me that much more interested to see the movie. If it it’s strange enough to scare the suits, it’s gotta be good, right? Are you looking forward to Dragonball?"

On one hand, I think they should indeed cancel the film if they're not going to do an adaptation in earnest but frivolously... at the very least. On the other hand, the notion of a trilogy sucks by my view, and the resulting footage is worthy of enough castigation that even Fox themselves are mulling over scrapping the whole thing? Wow... just, wow.

wow that would be I dunno, They could save there time and remake it or drop it entirly or send it ot to make sme money.

i bet they are just trying to keep it super secret to trick people into seeing it, that is so people don't see hoe bad it's going to be.

It's going to be a transformers, spiderman, power rangers, dragonball the movie hing that they didnt mix well.

100 million dollar budget? who the fuck would spend 100 million dollars on this movie?

**LegendarySSJ7** · 08-24-2008

I still don't think that means this is going to be any good. It sounds like bad fan fiction at best, and Fox loving it doesn't guarantee much - this is the same company that butchered both Fantastic Four and Alien vs. Predator (IMO), but that's for another thread of discussion. I don't see a trilogy happening either. Again, none of this bodes well.

I don't see it happening either. Even though they would be planning trilogy right now, it wouldn't be a first time a sequel is cancelled because of the first movie flopped or gets bad criticism.

Dragonball Trailer Coming in October
Source: ComingSoon.net
August 26, 2008

ComingSoon.net has learned that 20th Century Fox will debut the first trailer for Dragonball in theaters on October 17 with the studio's video game adaptation Max Payne, starring Mark Wahlberg. We'll have to wait and see whether Fox will release the trailer online earlier that week.

Opening on April 10, Dragonball is written/directed by James Wong and stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson.

Dragonball is adapted from the manga created by Akira Toriyama. It was also turned into a Japanese anime series that played all over the world.

ZOMG, trailer.

That picture with the "Top Secret" thing looked REALLY crap.

LegendaryBroli · 08-27-2008

Personally I love to see it scraped. I'm just worried what it turn out after it's all said and done.

Senzu_Bean · 08-30-2008

Like I said in other thread in my opinion it is always interesting to see DragonBall be redone in a different way than the original work and this movie main objective is clearly that. Show us a DragonBall in a different, fresh and up-to-date version of the story we know so well. Like many of you already know the movie is a Live-Action adaptation and not a Live-Action copy of the Manga or Anime. Change the story with new ideas isn't bad in my opinion if the main point and the spirit of DragonBall is still there.

And I personal always wanted to see a Live-Action DragonBall movie. After seeing how the actors give all they have into their characters adding to 21th century's special effects and CGI I can only be anxious by the movie. I only hope the soundtrack of the movie can keep up with the Anime one and transmit the DragonBall spirit.

There are more than one way to tell the same story.

SSJBulma · 08-31-2008

I don't know if I want to see the trailer, but morbid curiousity will prevail.
