OlderJustin Chatwin Joins ‘Dragonball’ Movie
Japanese manga phenomenon Dragonball Ball Z is coming to the bigscreen, per Variety.
Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds) and James Marsters (Buffy, Angel) have joined the cast and will begin shooting later this month.
Chatwin, 25, will star as Goku, a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name. He has already begun training with 87Eleven, the stunt performance company behind the action sequences in The Matrix, The Bourne Supremacy, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and 300.
Marsters, 45, is onboard as the film’s villain, demon king Piccolo.
Dragon Ball Z:The Movie is set for a worldwide Aug. 15 release.
DO YOU THINK Twentieth Century Fox made good casting choices — YAY or NAY?

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

A movie… can be interesting I guess.. Will it have Vegeta?
WHAT?!!! not dbz! why hollywood, why????
what?? I can’t imagine Dragon Ball is coming into big screen. Dragon Ball was my fave cartoon.
A movie?? Dragonball movie?? I really love Dragonball, I watch it every day, but I can’t imagin a movie!
SPIKE!!!!
I have no idea what Dragonball is, but now I’ll have to go see it.
WHAT?! haha.. This will be the next “Transformers”
Americans making Dragonball?? NO friggin’ way… I can already predict some horrible Japanese-to-English translations on the way.
This is seriously going to Ruin dbz forever… T_T what a shame… I used to LOVE that show..
YUMMYYYYYYYYY…..SPIKE ALERT 8 )
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
you can’t have a American dragon ball…. they fucked it up enough with the theme song let alone the dialog when they translated it! and as much as i love james but i must say LMFAO if they have him as Piccolo and the dude from WOTW can’t pull of being goku! and as Vivi says above i wounder if they will include vegeta i can’t imagine someone playing vegeta
haha wow i have a ball feeling about this.
i didn’t know piccolo was a demon king and villain, i thought he was mostly good, but I haven’t watched in years.
this would only work with an Asian cast
LOL @ 19
None of characters are Asian… LOL Sooooo why would it only work w/ 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.
i LOOOOOOOOVE dragon ball z, and i dont think you can cast it too wrong…if their doing the voices. having it be a live movie with people is just going to mess it up. if they do the movie it should be ANIMATION!!!!
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 love Justin Chatwin. He’s still underrated, but he can act, he’s quite handsome, and has the most soulful eyes. I have to admit though, he does have some feminine side, but I’m sure he’s gonna make it. He looked awfully cute in War of the Worlds and was incredible in Invinsible. One of my fav movies of the year. I recommend it to anyone!
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.
