It's one of those new screenshots from that "Live-Action" blog. I can't tell if that's Marsters in the shot or not.

Hmmm... Nah, I don't think so.

(Also, wouldn't it be easier to stick with another attempt at a general "Live Action Movie News Thread," rather than making new ones each time?)

Isn't that how the Namekian 'ninjas' will look like? One of Piccolo's minions perhaps. I remember seeing the concept artwork for that exact costume, except that the head was different.

By the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6wc3Yo2 ... eblog.com/

Thus far, the only thing that has gotten me really REALLY excited. James Marsters is awesome. It's really great when the actor/actress is extremely pumped for a certain role.

I would totally prefer to stick this in a general "Live Action Movie News" thread, but we don't have one. The "finished shooting" thread's the closest I can think of.

Well hey, if you think it's worth starting up another one, all it takes is for you to edit your first post and change the subject line.

Just saying.

You're right; it's likely one of Piccolo's demon-spawn minions. Doesn't look like Marsters, anyway.

So he's going to have all of his demons eh? I really hope it is JUST his demons and there isn’t going to be any REAL Namek ninja's. Things are looking up for this movie either way.

Neither did King Piccolo's servants, actually.

It looks like something out of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

...nah, Power Ranger monsters looked way cooler than that.

James Marsters is awesome, for being so excited to have the role... kinda reminds me of Sabat.

My biggest concern is staying as true as they can to the character cosutmes and designs. From the leaked screens that I've seen so far, they look like they're doing a better job at that then I thought they would. I'm starting to think that this movie won't be so bad after all.

But there's still that rumor about Goku supposedly being an outcast in highschool that's bothering me the most, I hope it's not true.

Makes me think about X-Men for some reason...

But James Marsters seems like he actually KNOWS the role that he's playing. This is added on to his eagerness to play the role. If this attitude is reflected onto the rest of the cast then a lot fans are going to be entertained.

This must be them in full costume. :shock:
I finally bought a gamecube. To bad they don't make any games for it now.

Not a lot of stuff about that strikes me as Dragonball at all :o except the one photo of Goku. I kinda like his outfit, it isn't bad at all imho.

Looks like the Power Rangers movie. And I don't recall a point in time where Goku used gel in his hair.

I think they're dead in that shot. (Sorry if this was obvious)

The actual costume on Chatwin is pretty good. The suits, if properly coloured, could pose as great demon-spawn.

Good job, Dragon Ball movie, you've succeeded at costumes. Next up, acting!

-edit-
Just saw Mai's costume. I'm sad again.

-edit2-
And the hallway gun scene, and what can only be the budokai. Fuck.
