Justin Chatwin Joins ‘Dragonball’ Movie

HELL NO! ******* UP ON OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER! WHO EVER MAKES THIS SHOULD DIE THE CAST SUCKS BALL!

JUST FOR THIS I HOPE NO ONE GOES TO SEE IT!

third!

WHAT?!!! not dbz! why hollywood, why????

A movie?? Dragonball movie?? I really love Dragonball, I watch it every day, but I can’t imagin a movie!

WHAT?! haha.. This will be the next “Transformers”

This is seriously going to Ruin dbz forever… T_T what a shame… I used to LOVE that show..

Well, if it’s anything like the anime, there will be a lot of constipated looking charging up moves. How are they gonna do the hair!!! It’s not gonna work.

i love it dragon ball the best manga

haha wow i have a ball feeling about this.

this would only work with an Asian cast

oh hell no. they should have gotten somone older and cooler to play Goku. who the hell is that kid and how stupid will he look with spiked hair.

hahahaha wow…I’m a former DBZ fan and I want to see how they are going to do this with the “kamehaha” or whatever hahahahahaha hopefully it won’t be cheesy!

I think its absolutely ridiculous how a JAPANESE manga with JAPANESE characters are being cast by WHITE BOYS. Are there going to be ANY Asian Americans in this film?!

Once again our Asian American men are getting screwed by the media.

I LOVE SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, is Justin Chatwin going to be Goku as a kid? Goku is supposed to be tall and muscular. James Marsters is Piccolo, shouldn’t Piccolo be tall like the cartoon character as well. I heard Tom Welling auditioned for the Goku role. I hope they make him grown up Goku because he has the height and the physique for that cartoon character.

How can you make Piccolo white. He should be played by Samuel L Jackson and no one else! That dude is not Goku, either.

man, some of these comments are crackin me up! XD

Noooooo… this is so disappointing to see my childhood fave get whored by hollywood. XD

Seriously, GOKU IS F-ING ASIAN. I won’t even be picky, give me a chinese, japanese, korean actor, anyone to play Goku.

How can they make a Dragonball Z movie that doesn’t even take place in the drangonball z timeline if Demon King Piccolo is the villian. Since the demon king Piccolo saga is the last of the original Dragonball series. This movie will just piss off pure DBZ fans and probly make tons of money just like Transformers did. That movie fit no where in any of the universe’s and had no plot but lots of great special effects. And this will be the same. I think all the human characters should be played by japanese actors since demon king Piccolo and Goku are aliens they can get away with it.

Well it’s about time they have set an official date. This movie has been in the making for sooooo long. Hopefully the movie is decent. And like others are saying…will Vegeta be there? Althought I doubt it, since Picoolo is the villain. I wonder if this is the beginning to start a sort of DBZ trilogy or something? Maybe the sequel will have Vegeta as the villain?

justin is cute but why would you have a non-asian cast playing in a japanese movie where all the main characters are asian?

it’s definitely going to be a flop.

Yes, Yes, Yes . . . sign me up . . definitely gonna watch this movie. Love Spike, and the other guy looks absolutely delicious as well!!!

WHY ARE THE ONLY CASTING F*CKIN WHITE PEOPLE FOR AN ASIAN CHARACTER!????? WTF WTF WTF????!!!!!!
Once again Asians are getting screwed up the as* and not properly being reprented by the WHITE MEDIA!!! boycot this film immediately! !!!!

I was starting to lose faith but thank god they have Spike oops i mean James. Really great actor - loved him in Buffy.

I love that they are making a dragon ball movie I originally thought it would be a DBZ movie but i think this will be better because we’ll get to see Goku young. I am in a love hate relationship with the casting though I love Justin Chatwin as Goku cause he is hot and has that Goku like grin. I also like James marsters as king piccolo (not piccolo but king piccolo). I found out that they have casted emmy rossum as bulma and Jamie chung as Chi-chi. I think those casting suck emmy is way too innocent and sophistocated looking to be bulma we need someone feisty. Jamie Chung is too ****** and old looking to be Chi-chi. I’m not sure why people are bitching about not having an all asian cast. Goku isn’t really even asian he is an alien so he has a different ethnicity all together besides many of the other character will be asian. If you wan’t an all japanese cast go to Japan and convince them to make a movie dragon ball movie. Whoa mine was longer than anyone elses :)

I agree with # 49….if you want all asian actors, than move to an asian country. It doesnt matter who they pick as goku and piccolo. You’re not going to find the exact person who pertrays the anime vision. Give it a chacne and quit hating. Sence 89 they have been doing DB,DBZ, and DBGT and talks about a movie sence 02. It about time they actrully got thier sh*t together and decided on it. I think its going to be an amazing movie and yeah you cant make the movie perfectly to the anime version. Atleast they trying and have some b*lls to do so. Just shut up with all the b*tching and complaining. It’s old.

Some of you might know Goku is a Saiyan, but lets face it, the people watching the movie will not be. They will just see a white guy, some karate kid type of ****. And Goku is Chinese creation with a Japanese influence, damn it! Wake up white people, see the obvious racism here, next time they should cast Will Smith as Clark Kent

que putas le pasa a todos estos maes de hollywood y mas a ese cabeza de pene ke hace el rol de goku en la pelicula, como ke no kiere tener el mismo pelo de goku en el anime y como ke guko estudia goku no enstudia ni trabaja el salva el mundo ademas keremos ver las tranformaciones de super saiyajines y las fuciones si van a hacer una pelicula ke sea con el mismo trama de la serie y del manga estupidos no una inventada pronostico ke esa pelicula va a hacer pija de critica por los medio y los fans esa pelicula VA A SER MIERDA!!!!

this movie while be good (even with all the changes). my only concern is the hair every thing depends on the hair every charator in db/z/gt had their own unique hair expeculy goku so if the hair is right then i think it will be a good movie

First, I don’t think an American version of Dragonball would be bad. As a matter of fact, it’ll probably be better because with rare exception, the Japanese are a bunch of smelly untalented retards. Obviously Akira Toriyama is one of those few exception. But if they’re going to “americanize” it, at least do it right. James Marsters is not a bad choice, nor is Chow-Yun Fat (assuming they keep the tradition of having Roshi be a geezer pervert). But Emmy Rossum as Bulma? Joon Park as Yamcha? And of the course, the worst casting decision of all time, Justin Chatwin as Goku? WTF, man? What kind of dumbass, no-talent, ****** casts a white guy with no record or personality, who honestly looks nothing like Goku, to play Goku. I’m not necessarily against a white guy as Goku, considering he’s not from this planet, ergo how is he necessarily asian? Most people think he should be asian, but what we must remember is Goku is an alien, not a human, so he could be a fish-man if not for the pre-determined physique. Honestly, with the way he is drawn, it kind of leaves it open for disussion as for the color of his skin (which for most of the characters appear more white than asian anyway, but hey, what do I know?) One final note to finish my rant, none of the characters should be necessarily Japanese, as most would like to believe. If you look at the map of earth in DBZ, the location of West City (Bulma’s hometown) is around the middle east, and Goku’s home is in India, so honestly, the whole “true to reality” thing kind of goes out the door (which I thought it would have happened around the time monkeys were flying around spitting flame at little green men on another planet, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to do the trick for some of the hardcore fans.) Anyway, while the characters don’t necessarily have to be a particular skin color, it would be nice if the choice was consistent. All asian or all white, not some messed up combination of both, merely for the sake of ease. And, just a thought, they should also probably look something like the character. Not trying to sound critical here, but Chatwin looks about as much like Goku as Samuel L. Jackson looks like a cucumber sandwich covered with ****., and the sound of his voice resembles Goku about as much as Carrie Underwood’s voice resembles the sound of nails in a blender. Okay, so I’m exaggerating slightly, but the point is if you’re going to cast someone as a famous burly anime character, at least pick someone who has some sort of semi-muscular physique, or whose voice has kind of the goofy yet bad-ass tone to it, or whose face has a more anime feature to it, and with hair that can be foofed up into the crazy cosmic hairdo worn by most DBZ characters, not an Orlando Bloom, skater-boy wannabe with about as much personality as burnt toast. Honestly, while Chatwin may be the worst, he’s not the only bad choice. The chick (I can’t remember her name) who plays Chi-Chi doesn’t even slightly resemble her, and the fact that I’ve never even heard of her or anything she’s played in make me all the more skeptical of her ability to accurately portray her character. Joon Park looks more like a gangster rap wigger duschuebag than . . . okay, Yamcha isn’t exactly the poster child for respectable young men. But come on! Yamcha really doesn’t come off all that hardcore. Cocky, yes. Lady’s man, hell yes. But he doesn’ have the feel of someone who eats woodscrews for breakfast and washes them down with a large dose of sulfuric acid. Finally, aside from the casting it also seems as though the honorable Stephen Chow has decided to throw in a scene where Goku goes to high school. Okay, since when did that happen? Goku never went to high school for a reason: he has the common sense of a two-year old, syphilitc, autistic kid on crack. He doesn’t have the booksmarts to make it past the first grade, let alone into high school. Besides, his passion is fighting. That’s the whole reason Chi-Chi is so adamanat about Gohan’s schooling. Case in point, Goku does not go to high school. Ever. In conclusion, I wish I could say I expected it to be true to the series but I doubt that very much. I wouldn’t even mind so much if they tried to american-ize it, but it doesn’t look like that will be the case, either. What we have is a middle of the road, half-assed attempt at bringing one of the world’s best cartoons ever to the big screen. Maybe if they had a better cast and a more consistent plotline, it would at least be worth seeing, but as it stands right now, it looks like just another failed effort for trying to have your cake and eat it too.

In the orginal Dragonball series, goku was eight years old when he Bulma. And Bulma was only 16. And Piccolo wasn’t Piccolo, he was Piccolo Daimao. In the Dragon Ball Z series he seperated himself into two diffrent parts. Piccolo,( the picture above) and Kamiccolo. I can’t stand it when Hollywood tries to make an Anime into a live screen adaptation, IT ALWYS SUCKS. PLUS THE CAST SUCKS AS WELL. I know everything there is to know to about the Dragonball Universe, and i’m not the only one. I BEG THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THIS MOVIE, TO STOP, AND LEAVE IT JUST THE WAY IT IS. There are going to ruin this Anime, like they do all of the other ones, that they try to bring to the movie screen. I don’t mean to be negative, but leave Dragonball the way it is. I’ve all ready seen every episode of Dragonball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. If they make a movie, it’s not like they are going to show anything that I have not all ready seen. JUST LEAVE THE DRAGONBALL UNIVRESE ALONE.

LOL I LOVEEE DRAGONBALL! IT’S GONNA BE WEIRD WITHOUT VEGETA AND BULMA WITHOUT HER BLUE HAIR. I DON’T THINK IT’S GONNA BE A BAD MOVIE BUT THE CARTOON USED TO BE REALLY GREAT! I’M WATCHIN IT NOW AND I’M SAD CUZ THERE’S NO VEGETA OR TRUNKS THEY ARE MY FAVORITYS! I’M NOT VERY MUCH A GOKU FAN, I’M A VEGETA’S, TRUNKS’S AND BULMA’S FAN!
I DON’T KNOW I’M GOIN’ TO SEE CUZ I LOOOVE JUSTIN CHATWIN HE’S AMAZING AND HOT!
