Why not turn "Plan to Eradicate The Saiyans" into a movie?

Post by DBZfan2015 » Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:18 am

Is it possible for them to turn "Plan to Eradicate The Saiyans" into a movie/special and put it out on DVD? I would totally buy it. All they have to do is take out the game footage, and put all the cutscenes together.

By the way, I'm talking about the 90s version, not the remake.

It's long enough so I don't see why they haven't.

He doesn't mean to remake it, just give the 90's version that's exclusive to the Japanese dragon box a standard worldwide release.

People in Japan had to wait till 2011 to get the 2 TV specials that were available everywhere else released in Japan.

Toie's business decisions don't make any sense, they have something people want and they decide to keep it to themselves instead of making $$$ ?
July 9th 2018 will be remembered as the day Broly became canon.

Does it have the material worthy to be turned into movie?

Dont get me wrong. I consider 90's version to be superior, but it lacks the coherence to be grouped along with movies like Broly trilogies, Cooler films etc.

I definetly would enjoy if it becomes a "good" movie, but the "game" staple is printed firmly all over PTES

Because "Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans" is already a 2 part special and part of Japanese DBoxes?

In this day of age, I think most causal fans have watch the original PTETS on sites like Youtube. I don't see the point given that they did a remake of the original a while back on Raging Blast 2. Giving people a legit away to watch it.

There's just not enough material in the original OVA to warrant expanding it into a 80-100 minute animated movie.

By his wording he meant for it to be released on DVD (in US) whether as a film/special not so much of its duration. Dragon Ball (1-4) and Z films (1-13) none really lasted more than 40m-50m and they're films.

I never really considered any of the Dragon Ball movies, with the exception of Path To Power, until Battle Of Gods as "movies" per se. I always saw them as more like glorified OVA's.

Well, officially speaking it's not what you consider but what it is. DB 1-4 and DBZ 1-13 are films and that's a fact.

There's True Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans, which is the longest visual version of this story. Since it's a video game with multiple paths though, you might want to fan edit it...
