Yeah, I brightened the poster, and there's this weird sandy - orange colored thing behind or beside his right leg. Wonder what it is.

The trail of the Dragon Ball flying around, like on the openings.

Oh yeah, I see it. It's the trail from that DragonBall in front of all those words.

I know what you mean, we see something like Goku and Gohan admiring some high swanky art and then we stumble upon something that in my opinion totally looks like live action Dragonball and makes Chatwin resemble Goku exactly.

Well fuck me sideways, that actually looks damn promising.

And yeah I totally agree, the hair looks WAY less stupid from behind.

Considering the large abundance of such locales throughout the manga/anime, I find that to be very appropriate. I'd actually be a bit disappointed if the film didn't have at least a few scenes take place in that kind of setting.

So yeah... all this is well and good, but when do we finally get a good clear shot of our resident Demon King?

I suspect much closer to release. Probably nearer the end of the year or what have you.

Yeah, not for a while I'd bet. The movie doesn't come out until April (I think) of next year. They don't want to reveal everything before Febuary and leave us with nothing new to get hyped up over for two whole months. So we may not see Piccolo until the final posters start going up in March. Well, not see him in poster form, at least. We'll likely get at least a half second glimpse of him in a teaser sometime before October.

No idea on how many desert scenes we've got but there's apparently quite a few open/wilderness settings, based on the earlier on-location shots we got way-back-when. I wouldn't be surprised if the most crowded locations we see are the school during the first 10 minutes of the movie and the Budokai stadium later on.

Pretty cool. It's as if Tetsuya Nomura created Goku's design. It's got that Final Fantasy look, to me at least.

I think the movie will have a different approach to the story like the Super Mario Bros. movie, but be enjoyable at the same time. I only wish it was more faithful to the series, but what you gonna do.

It be easier to swallow with they were going for the live action cartoon look, which they might be...I don't know.

The background is reminds one of the the production shots we got with all the rocky terrain.

I don't like his pants but the rest is ok.

EDIT: call me stupid but... doesn't it look like he is wearing...shoulderfillings?

That's what I see too. Which is weird because the production shot we had of the stunt double didn't have any shoulder-padding (just nice little sleeves).

Good to see you guys are slowly beginning to realize why some of us had faith in this from the start.

It could be that his arms are bigger. Didn't some source say he had physical training for the movie?.

But I totally see that it may be shoulder fillings.

We have the same logo, theirs is just in Japanese.

It's a nice poster. Goku's gi reminds me of something more out of Mortal Kombat though.

If his arms were bigger, they'd fill out the sleeves more, not leave them as flaps.

Huh? You had faith in the movie because Chatwin looks like a kid in bad cosplay?

Well, with this, I hope we get our Teaser sometime this Fall/Early Winter.

Chung Wraps Dragonball artical from Sci-fi Wire.

Misinformed much?
