Well, perhaps that Q&A session with Mr. Marsters tomorrow will reveal something good.

It's not like you have a choice.

Umm... Holy crap. Lots, and I mean LOTS of new photos. Most notably what appears to be the Kame school gi...

So I'm assuming that this gi is going to be the school's official uniform?

Well, them's the Kame school colors, so I guess so. What else could it be?

The pictures are blocky but the gi looks....intact.

Tiny, TINY sigh of relief.
Go orange!

The good old dull brown and gray uniforms with the slicked black hair and the ugly plaid tie?

On the gi - wow. I hope that looks better in motion than it does in fuzzy images, cuz...ugh.

Also, why is there a Super Saiyan 3 Goku cutout? o.O;

And do I spot a sign that says Crane on it? Even if they don't play a large part, could this mean mention of Tien and Chiaotzu? ^_^

Holy shit the second video with Goku's actor is funny as fuck. I don't think he knows what the fuck is going on.

Wow. I love the picture of Chatwin next to the Goku cutout. Wow. He doesn't look the least bit like Goku. Fucking A.

And these pictures look like terrible cosplay.

I hate this so much.

-edit-
Watching the videos now. Holy fuck, the announcer didn't know Chatwin's name. This is fucking brilliant.

-edit-
The second video. Holy shit, Chatwin. "The character of Goku is a[n] important character to play... been on kid's cartoons for a while so I hope I can do the job right." Good job buddy. You give me no hope for this film.

I hate this so much.

I still am laughing at the in depth character knowledge Justin has of his character. I think that made my day. This movie is gonna be awesome.

I just hate raining on this, but...

Y'know those large iron structures they use to lift a movie camera into the air? Surely you've seen them, sometimes the movie guy goes up with the camera and sits on a platform?

Those are called cranes.

Wow. I seriously can't beleive how bad those orange gi look. The gi in the original live action movie looked better than that. It doesn't look practical for wearing everyday, like it does in the anime and manga.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:15 pm

Yaaaaaay, stubborn cynicism!

KaiserNeko · Post by **KaiserNeko** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:18 pm

For the love of God, guys, don't go off of production photos. There is a tremendous amount of effort that goes into lighting and camera work to make shots look the way they're supposed to.

Wait a few more months, when finished shots start coming out.

Gah! I feel stupid now. ^_^;

Thanks for killing my hopeful enthusiasm.

Dammit, Kaboom, what'd I tell you about posting in this tread? Hm?
