Thu, 15 May 2008 at 9:43 am

Here’s the first clear (possibly) official photo of Justin Chatwin as anime hero Goku from the upcoming Dragonball live-action film.

Also pictured: Emmy Rossum as Bulma, whose father’s Dragon Ball is stolen by Piccolo (James Marsters).

Jamie Chung of Real World: San Diego fame is also pictured below. She plays Chi Chi, the lifelong love interest of Goku.

Dragonball has the tentative release date of April 8, 2009.

why do i have a feeling that this is gonna be another “speed racer”?

for the love of japan, leave their animes alone… especially the iconic ones like this. they’re already great as they are. making the characters human is unrealistic and just plain weird (justin chatwin looks electrocuted– looks good in anime characters, eek in real-life).

Justin chatwin doesn’t even pull this CHARACTER OFF I CAN JUST TELL they should’ve gotten someone better to play that ROLE

Why did they decide to do Dragon Ball and not focus on Dragon Ball Z instead?

lol WOW. This is crazy. I thought they called the whole movie off a few years back. I do see some resemblance but not too much though.

Since DB is a JAPANESE anime, and the characters are clearly A Japanese/Chinese hybrid why are the majority of actors white?! Justin is a cute kid, but *he’s* Go ku?! Goh ku. A white guy named Goh ku? Gimme me a break. And why did they keep Chi Chi Asian then? Makes no goddamm sense. LEAVE OUR CARTOONS ALONE WHITE AMERICA.

They should have taken some one like Jet Li, or some well built asian actor for this. Why would you use that geeky looking runt? I mean, that guy is great at playing roles of victims and abused beat up kids, not super-powered sayans. I mean look at him, he looks like a toothpick. It seems like, if the wind blows, he will fly off like a piece of silk, let alone take a roundhouse kick to the face from a villan LOL!!!

LISTEN UP EVERYONE!
Enough is Enough with improper casting! Enough with the WHITE Male playing an Asian dude! What makes it worse, is that they decide to cast a f&ckn Asian ***** to play the romantic role! Once again…racism at its worse…. I cannot understand why the mainstream north american media insists on portraying Asian women as some sexual, muted object and REFUSE to cast Asian male actors. THIS IS NOT A CONSPIRACY. DO NOT ACCEPT THE “NORM” THAT THE MEDIA IS TRYING TO SELL. BOYCOT THIS FILM. ITS SUCKS A*SS!
