Memang dah lama aku nantikan DBZ live action movie sejak 2002 lagi..sampai la kompem dgn tak kompem..dan hujung tahun 2007 memang kompem jadi..
Dragonball is a 2008 live action film adaptation of the Dragon Ball franchise. The film follows Goku, played by Justin Chatwin, and his quest to obtain the mystical Dragonballs before the evil Piccolo, played by James Marsters, does. The film began development in 2002, and is directed by James Wong and produced by Stephen Chow. It is scheduled for worldwide release on August 15, 2008.[1]
Dalam filem ni Stephen Chow(CJ7)/Chow Sin Chee menjadi producer..
Cast
Justin Chatwin as Goku: The hero of the film.[1]
James Marsters as Piccolo: The antagonist of the film.[1] He was a fan of the television series, which he described as being "the coolest television cartoon in the last fifty thousand years [because] it’s got a Shakespearean sense of good and evil."[2] He admitted, "When I got the role I had doubts. The more I live with it I realize that I am going to rock this harder than I have anything in my life."[3]
Jamie Chung as Chi-Chi: Goku's love interest.[4] Stephen Chow had been interested in casting Zhang Yuqi, whom he worked with on CJ7, in the part.[5]
Emmy Rossum as Bulma: She aids Goku after her father's Dragonball is stolen by Piccolo.[6]
Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi: Goku's mentor.[7]
Joon Park as Yamcha.[8] James Kyson Lee auditioned for the role.[9]
Eriko Tamura as Mai.[8]
Texas Battle has an unrevealed role.[10]
Luis Arrieta as Teto: A classmate and friend of Goku. He is an original character created for the film.[11][12]
The pop singer Mario was turned down for a part in the film.[13]
[edit] Production
In March 2002, 20th Century Fox acquired feature film rights to the Dragon Ball franchise.[14] In June 2004, Ben Ramsey, who wrote The Big Hit (1998), was paid $500,000 to adapt Dragon Ball Z.[15] In 2007, James Wong and Stephen Chow were announced as director and producer respectively, and the project was retitled Dragonball. Wong rewrote the script.[1] Chow was a Dragon Ball fan, citing its "airy and unstrained story [which] leaves much room for creation", but explained he would only serve as producer because he believes that he should only direct stories he had created.[5] 87Eleven, the stunt performance company that worked on The Matrix and 300, is working on the film.[1] Ariel Shaw, who worked on Wong's entries in the Final Destination series and 300, is visual effects supervisor.[16] Robert MacLachlan, who also worked on Wong's Final Destination films, serves as cinematographer.[17]
Shooting began on December 3, 2007,[10] at Mexico City. Locations included the Universidad Tecnológica de México.[18] From January 2, 2008,[18] the crew will shoot at Durango. The crew will move to Estado de México in March for some shots at Nevado de Toluca.[16] Shooting is also scheduled at Los Angeles, California.[7] In adapting the Dragon Ball manga, the futuristic cities were kept, but the anthropomorphic talking animals (such as Oolong and Pu'ar) were dropped.[19] Many of the locations are very Oriental,[20] and there will be some Aztec influence too, particularly from their temples.[21] Many of the female leads and extras will have unique hairstyles, including Rossum, who will wear a blue wig to resemble her anime counterpart. Chatwin, however, will not wear a wig as the director felt his hair already resembled Goku's.[20]
