Movie News: Dragonball (Movie Adaptation) 2009

I was surfing the net for new movies when I encountered an information from wikipedia! Dragonball Fans, rejoice!! The anime Dragonball Z has a movie adaptation. But i wonder, a live action for Dragonball? I really can’t imagine the results, but I’m hoping it’s good. The adaptation is produced by Stephen Chow, Directed by James Wong and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox! Wooow! Bigtime!

Here is the list of cast for Dragonball Movie Adaptation:(Based on Wikipedia)

See complete wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonball_(film)

* Justin Chatwin as Goku: The hero of the film.

* James Marsters as Lord Piccolo

* Jamie Chung as Chi-Chi: Goku’s love interest.Stephen Chow had been interested in casting Zhang Yuqi, whom he worked with on CJ7, in the part.

* Emmy Rossum as Bulma: She aids Goku after her father’s Dragonball is stolen by Piccolo.

* Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi: Goku’s mentor.

* Joon Park as Yamcha.,James Kyson Lee auditioned for the role.

* Eriko Tamura as Mai: She is a chief enforcer of Piccolo’s and a shapeshifter.

* Texas Battle as Carey Fuller: A high school bully.

* Luis Arrieta as Teto: A classmate and friend of Goku. He is an original character created for the film.

* Randall Duk Kim as Grandpa Gohan: The adoptive father and grandfather of Goku who teaches Goku everything he knows about martial arts.

* Ernie Hudson will play an acolyte in a temple who will aid Goku and his friends.

I’m hoping that the movie will be good since Japanese Animations were good and Dragonball has been an all time favorite anime.

So, for dragonball fans, wait a little longer because the movie is still production! The release date is on April 3, 2009!
