20th Century Fox has just greenlit a 100 million dollar live action Dragon Ball Z movie. (http://kotaku.com/gaming/make-it-stop/live+action-dragon-ball-z-295873.php)

why didn't they do it when it was more popular way back when it first came out in America?


I like how even Kotaku dislikes the idea

I heard about a live-action DBZ movie years ago, but that was a joke. A JOKE.

If they got the same guy who did Shaolin Soccer and Kung-fu Hustle, that movie could be pretty badass.

 A mixture of  :? and  :-o are the only things that can begin to describe my reaction to hearing this news.

Oh so you're gonna tell me you didn't see Christian Bale and Minnie Driver in the clip? Or are you going to say that they aren't well-known actors??


Nahh, I know what you mean. Hopefully this will be relegated to development hell until after I give up on caring about whether movies are good or not.

i know it is a given, but that movie was terrible

I think it had Takashi Mike as the bad guy, and I think he was a cyborg.

So the movie is going to be about 10 hours long right? 9.5 hours of grunting in the air and 30 minutes of actual story?

Knowing how Dragon Ball Z works, it's gonna take like, three full-length movies just to explain the plot, and then about three more before the conflict is resolved.

At least two of the movies will be nothing but close-up shots of the main characters' faces while they think things like "He is too strong for me to defeat! We don't stand a chance!" out loud, and long, drawn-out fighting-in-mid-air sequences.

Fixed.
