Official On-Going DBZ 2013 Movie Thread: "Battle of Gods"

I really hope they are using the extended footage version for the dub.

[Li'l Lemmy]

Well, I looked in the toilet and yup... that's a brick.

Excited for this, although not spazzing like I could be given that I don't think any theaters near me will carry it. However, now that we have evidence that a dub of some kind may be in the works, I can't imagine that a home release would be too far behind.

I'm really hoping this will be dubbed. I've already seen it subbed so I'd rather it be dubbed this time.

Also I know it's only from August 5th-8th, but by the comments here it looks like only a certain theaters as well. Is this true?

As was mentioned above it's select theaters in select cities. I highly doubt any theaters near me will show it, but I might be willing to drive a bit.

I was just about to say the same thing.

And Like Lil Lemmy said I can't really blow my shit because I highly doubt it's coming to a theatre near me. (Philadelphia)

[sintzu]

Wow that didn't take long,i thought they would release it at the end of 2015 at the earlest

Finally i can watch it with the dub that i'm used to

[Ringworm128]

Wow was not expecting this. Now this is big news. There have been a lot of big announcements lately and this is the cherry on the sundae.

[Prylum]

Oh my, I am seriously excited for this.. That teaser trailer doesn't help either, really was not expecting this. First Kai on toonami and now this! Schemmel's kamehameha, wow.. Sounds amazing

More like... an Orange Brick! Am I right?

*bah dum tish*

Anyway, perhaps it took so long to announce because they were waiting on Toei to provide them the extended cut (If they did. We don't know for now) + saving announcement for their 20th anniversary?

[Haseowolf]

With this announcement that can only mean that a home release will come afterward in (hopefully) short order. Now I'll be curious if the include the JSAT special as an extra like the Japanese BD release since I'm sure they've been sitting on that for forever.

[Super Sayian Prime]

The third Eva rebuild movie got a screening at Otakon. I hope they screen the movie there too. I take it that Fox has nothing to do with the movie's release which does not surprise me.

The 20th Century Fox logo can be seen at the end of that trailer.

[Hellspawn28]

Reading through the comments on Youtube is worth laughing at . You have comments like "Fuck this movie. This movie should not be canon and burn alive", "limited release is so stupid. You can't take my money now!" and "that saiyan god form looks gay".

This is a good point. None of the R2 releases enticed me enough to pick up the film that way; the extras amounted to stickers and posters and cards, and with no subtitles and Japanese DVD prices, I opted for the simple Hong-Kong Blu ray. But if FUNimation can either:

A) Get the JSAT Special on there subbed/dubbed,
B) The extended cut of the film,
C) Both,

Then I am completely on board.

EDIT: Maybe it's time to get a jump on those 13 DRAGONBOX footage Z films, FUNi.

[Hellspawn28]

They can release a normal edition of the movie later this year and the extended cut of the film later next year similar what they did with Eva 1.0 and 1.11.

[BlackCatScott]

Amazing news! I feel super jealous of anybody who gets to go see DBZ in the cinema. That's a must have experience for any DBZ fan... and one unfortunately that will pass me by seeing as I'm from the UK! Darn it...well hopefully Manga UK have something up their sleeve. That said I am still hugely excited by the trailer and I'm glad we now know a DVD/Blu-Ray release won't be too far off. Bring it on!

Oh, and that was an epic Kamehameha from Sean.

[Baggie_Saiyan]

Glad they're using Beerus. Although I think Sabat confirmed they would anyway.
Maybe Manga UK could pick this up and screen it in the U.K?

[Chuquita]

I'm not in a spot where I can check the video atm, but good to hear Funi finally got the go ahead for this.Also happy to learn they're using Beerus.

[Ajay]

I do love Sean Schemmel's tweet today.



After all his outbursts about not knowing anything and how people should stop bugging him. Amazing.

[Makaioshin]

The teaser trailer makes the movie look more serious and action packed than it really is.
No interest in the dub but it is good to hear that it will finally reach North America.

[Hellspawn28]

I hope they play one close to me or have a screening at Otakon. The Fusion Reborn screening from several years ago didn't had one in Maryland or close to DC. DBZ should be fun on the big screen even if it's just a DVD on a projector. I believe Fusion Reborn was on a projector back in 2006 during it's super small limited release.

[Fizzer]

That dramatic trailer is going to create a lot of disappointed dub fans...
