Jesus Christ. Someone please give me a gun so that I may shoot myself. This may just be too much to handle. Speed Racer was shitty enough, now this? Whoever thought this up should be burnt at the stake.

Well, ye. This sounds weird at the moment
 Start with the name. Dragonball. Why did they make it to one word?And Piccolo will be the main bad guy. that makes me think there won't be any big fights. But i'm still optimistic with these kind of films after i saw what they did with Transformers

Spike is going to be Piccolo...maybe he will use his real non-English accent
.I do not know why, but I am excited by this movie if a little wary. Stephen Chow (of Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer fame...in America at least (his other Hong Kong films are all pretty good)) as producer will have a lot of control over the film, and the director James Wong has some great tv credits to his name (some of the best episodes of Milenium and X-Files were written by him (and he created the highly interesting if short lived series Space: Above and Beyond)). But, his directorial efforts have been a lackluster experience (I guess Final Destination can be considered good, but Black Christmas?) at best. So, I have some trepidition there. That being said, Jame Wong did re-write the story, so that could be a good thing. |

^Yeah, but the guy who wrote the screenplay is the same guy who wrote The Big Hit, starring Marky Mark Walburg, and that is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen in the history of films…
Well I still think the technology is there to make a visually impressive movie at the very least (see Speed Racer), but they’re screwing the pooch by not including Oolong, Pular, or any of the animal characters….They’re also giving Goku a friend that was never in the anime//manga and prolly are gonna let him go to school…These people will never learn that keeping it simple and following the story that made it the most popular anime in American History is the way to go…So prepare for Yamcha and his dog Skip I guess  …James Marsters is selling his soul for superhero-type movies…Dude was Cyclone in X-men, tried to snag Supes girl in Superman Returns, and now he’s signed up to be Piccollo in all 3 movies (He’ll be orginal Piccollo Daimon in movie 1 before the transformation)…I was LOLing in throat pain when I read him say this, "When I got the role I had doubts. But the more I live with it I realize that I am going to rock this harder than I have anything in my life." THE MORE I LIVE WITH IT??? That sounds like someone who is crying inside after this career move xD…Now that he F’d up he’s gonna "rock this harder than (he) has anything in his life” … Hilarious stuff, xD… All this said though, there's no way I'm not going to see this, then praise this, or rape this...Cya' then^^...

As far as I am concerned, Ben Ramsey as one of the writers is a big plus. I want the Dragonball movie to be packed full of over the top action and outrageous humor. Ben Ramsey has already proven he can deliver that. And of course he is only co-writing this, so perhaps you'll be happier with what James Wong brings to the screenplay. Quote:

)I have to say, though, that I love the quote from Marsters. Now that is the Spike I know and love .How could you not like The Big Hit, it had Avery Brooks and Lou Dimond Philips in it . Besides, Ben Ramsey seems to have only written the intial drafts, Stephen Chow and James Wong have, seemingly, changed these drafts. It should be intresting, the amalagmation of two comedic writers (Chow and Ramsey) and a very serious writer (Wong), if nothing else, I am hoping that Stephen Chow can pull everything together.

Oh $hit, my bad, can't believe I got those 2 names mixed up  ...So it's gonna be Brainiac from Smallville huh? Damn, now that's a good choice...Now I can take my laffter back from the previous post because Marsters is a B-lister who routinley does make-up work for sci-fi and comic-book themed characters...He's actually a pretty underrated actor despite his pension for appearences on cheezy spoof type shows...Well I'm glad I was wrong because that dude made Smallville watchable again in his potrayle of Brainiac... As for the Big Hit, my comments remain..It is one of the worst movies ever made and it definatley killed what was even left of Lou Diamond Phillips career at the time...Bookim Woodbine's career kinda flaked out after Big Hit aswell...But somehow the talentless Marky Mark survived, go figure >_>...Now I didn't say it isn't good BAD MOVIE watching...Me and my buddy would watch it just to talk about how terrible it was and laff at it, but there's no talking me out of this, I can plainly remember after I had watched that movie I honestly felt like it was the worst movie I had ever seen...You can forget $hit that happened in the movie, but you can never forget that feeling....

Judge for yourself...The same guy wrote the screenplay for the upcoming DB movie...It was 10 years ago, so maybe the dude got much better...

And for those that think Stephen Chow is not working on this film simply because he is the producer, you need to realize that the producer, at least 60-70% of the time, is the most influential part of the production of a film. He or she is the one who pulls everything together and makes sure the film is mostly presentable to an audience (often they fail ). Only big name directors can effectively "bring their vision to the silver screen" or small indie directors who have limited budgets and limited help. So, the majority of the films made, in Hollywood or even across the seas in India, Hong Kong, or Japan, or extensively controlled by the producers. To think that Stephen Chow would not directly work with the film is silly.
