First Look: Dragonball Costumes and Characters
April 6, 2008
Source: JoBlo
by Alex Billington
After originally posting (and quickly removing) an awesome photo of a set piece for Dragonball a few weeks ago, JoBlo has posted a plethora of new photos - including characters in costume and more. As I mentioned in that post a few weeks back, this Dragonball movie is starting to look better and better with every new photo that gets out. Unfortunately these will probably be removed by Fox rather quickly, but I'm excited to at least share them with you for the time being. If you're a Dragonball fan at all, then make sure you check these out before they go down and let us know what you think!
The photos have been removed at the request of 20th Century Fox.
You can see a lot more photos over at JoBlo - so head over if you want to see them all!
Based on the popular Japanese manga created by Akira Toriyama, whose work spawned best selling graphic novels, video games and a phenomenally successful television series, Dragonball centers on the heroic 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.
Dragonball stars Justin Chatwin as Goku, James Marsters as Piccolo, Emmy Rossum as Bulma, Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi, Jamie Chung as Chi Chi, and Park Joon as Yamcha. The movie arrives in theaters on April 3rd, 2009.

I agree JNYCE, no one looks familiar. Cant' say whether or not it will be bad right now.

JNYCE, yeah - it's definitely not Goku. Maybe it's Yamcha or some new character, which didn't appeared in Dragon Ball anime/manga.

I'll be honest, these photos have sort of a Disney Channel feel. It's just in the costumes and the attitudes of the actors.
Oh well, the Wachowskis can't direct everything.

The guy wearing the Gi is either another student or Chatwins double.

*weep weep* they butchered it…DAMN you ALL! DAMN YOU ALL to HELL!

Seriously? I don't think there's a single good thing about any of these pictures.
I genuinely hope a band of friends got together and faked these, otherwise this movie's going to bomb harder than I already thought it would.
But I'll still be in line to see it.

The pic which is suppose to be Goku in the GI outfit is Jackson Spidell, Chatwin's stunt double. And to let some of you haters know these aren't official stills, thy were taken from a fan, that's why there not great. So don't worry, the post-production will make em' look awesome!

Damn you FOX, why are you doing this to us? I have a right to know if your going to fuck up my childhood! You better not screw this up your going to have one hell of a time with boycotting fans.

Sean #16… I am not sure who they are 'trying' to portrait in that pic… BUT … Post prodution BETTER pull this through…
I wish I saw the full budget layout for this film, cause we would all know from that if it was going to be worth a damn …. CGI - 75%, live action/actors - 25%.. honestly, I think it is the only way they can give me the gut-wrenching, ground-pounding action that I am DEMANDING from this film.
and YES, I know it is not going to be something where we see Cell and all this other 'bad guys', it is gonna be tournament time, but still, it needs to be one-hella fight film.
One the other hand, if they do not take the time to build Goku from the BEGINNING then this story will be lost in the DVD shelves with the Mortal Combat and Street Fighter films(though I enjoyed those, as cheesy as they were).

Dusty #19….. I'm positive Jackson Spidell is Goku's/Chatwin's stunt double for the film. Trust me dude, I've been keeping tabs on this movie since it was announced official back in November. And James Marsters has said the budget is to be $100 Million.
Sean on Apr 6, 2008

So far the 100 million isn't appearing on that pics.
Whatever I am hoping for an entertaining movie.

this movie could have awesome special effects, fight scenes and backdrops but story wise its not going to do well and characters might look a little ridiculous.

The best way to make this would be to have 30 seconds of action occur over a 2 and a Half hour span.

no vegeta why?

After what you said about this and Michael Bay having done a great job on Transformers, I must conclude you have an awful bad taste. Who on earth would believe that is Goku? There it goes another good one completely ruined… so what's next, Robotech? no wait, that was already spoiled… Macross?? Saint Seiya?? Kimba the White Lion?? as it goes, even Popples and Rainbow Brite will get a live action film, awful, of course.

This is just going to drive up the anger throughout the DB fandom. Soon it'll not only be the Japanese who's organizing boycotts against this movie

I swear alot of ya'll on here are just corny, what the hell do you expect? It's not like they can take the anime cartoons and bring them to life. Damn, goku, yamcha, vegeta, aren't real damn people. They casted who they felt could fit the roles the best they could. So if you wann keep complaining saying "Oh god i think this is going to be horrible" then save ya lil $8.00 and don't go see it. It's that simple!!!
