These photos are definitely looking good. It looks to actually NOT suck. I don't know if it will be great, but I'm still crossing my fingers!

I'm hoping for them to provide us a slightly above average...or even average..adventure film. That's all. Oh, and Chatwin pulling off a decent performance is a MUST!

Do I see something like a Tenkaichi Budokai? Things are looking good for this movie, I just sort of wish they would tone down how many original characters they put in this film. But Those screenshots do look good.

How can you people say "things are looking good" after watching a few pictures of random worn-out places? And one picture of an actor?

Who are those guys in orange from the cell phone pictures?. If those guys are Muten Roshi's students, don't they look........a little old?.

I can figure out most of the pictures, and I'm happy to see an honest to god orange Kame gi, but..... what the heck are those white things in the first leaked shot suppose to be? o_O

I'm guessing those are unrevived henchmen? Or slain henchmen. I can't really tell.

Ehh, all the production shots make me think of this as being a really high budget episode of Power Rangers.

This is how Piccolo will look, we unfortunately can't see his face becuase fox keep it all in secret(probably to hold the fake hope)but hey, isn't this body more than enough?

Many of you said you just wait the picture of the Piccolo and then will decide...
Now does this finally locks it up...?
This DOES NOT look anything like Piccolo...just like the fact that nothing in in this movie reminds of DB except the title, the character names and the dragon balls....

I have to fully agree with you on that one. I honestly can accept other people's opinion's, but c'mon guys! How can you honestly have any hope that this will be faithful to the source material?

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if those "Power Rangers villain rejects" were the "Namekian ninjas"...

It will be a hit anyway... And it will spawn at least one sequel...

That's exactly the first thing I thought when I saw that!

I was thinking "Hey, why is this picture of the Dark Knight here...*reads down*... oh... my....

I am glad some people are starting to realize that this is even far away from how Fox usually screw up...this is a disgrace and disaster in every possible way.

Can we get a source on this article? The more I examine it the more fake it looks. Either this magazine has a lame layout team or this is a fake.

Chuquita · Post by **Chuquita** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 6:53 pm

Sorry but this looks like a fake magazine article. As if someone just badly photoshopped the whole thing. I mean, look at the font they used for Dragon Ball. That's comic sans. Nobody uses comic sans in professional publications, especially not for movie titles.

EDIT: I eat my words, it's the makeup guy who did that layout: http://www.edwardfrench.com/recent_photos.htm .

Um, sorry 'bout that, makeup guy. ^_^;;

The leaked photos on joblo.com definately got my attention. The one of Goku's stunt double sitting down is now centered as my wallpaper (yeah, laugh it up).
Anyway, the costume on him, as well as the rest of what I've seen and read, is different, but inspired by Dragon Ball. The photos kind of give me a Kung Fu/Sci-Fi mix, which is just what I want. It's going to be cheesy, but I think I'm gonna like it.

DTX, please shut up and stop being a retard. It's not a "disgrace and disaster," you're just an angry little boy who's impossible to please.

Piccolo's face is obscured, you can't even tell what he's really going to look like. On purpose. It's being kept a secret until FOX decides otherwise. Which will hopefully be soon.

They've just apparently given him a slightly different, more alien-like costume, rather than having him in gi like Goku (even though his belt does seem like that of a martial arts uniform) That's not his real arms, that's his uniform. And it looks positively badass.

Velasa · Post by **Velasa** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:39 am

..... It looks nothing like the normal one but that black rippled gi is kinda hot. The pants and shoes and more of the belt if it's got tassles hopefully will make him look distinctly less Batman-y, because looking like Batman is bad. Even though I love Batman. It's just...... no.

Anybody think they'll actually refer to him in a way that infers a demonic influence, or will they just use some safe route that skirts around it like Funi's 'king' idea.

BlueSky · Post by **Kaboom** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:53 am

They're calling him "Lord" Piccolo, and he's got rather demonic-looking monstery soldiers. So take that as you will, I guess.
