Dragonball Z: Saiyan Saga - Help make this happen!

[DonieZ]

Ah I see. I asked them over on youtube the other day and they said it should be fair use, although in their interview with the Dao of Dragonball I believe they said they'd 'cross that bridge' when they come to it, so I guess they know the risks. I think if Toei/Shueishia really wish to be asses they will try to flag their trailer for infringement of some sort, and I would hate for it to happen since a lot of money and effort is going into this.

This is going to end up badly.

If that does happen, they can still up the video somewhere else. It probably will happen though. Youtube is stepping their game up.

Yeah, they could however the amount of publicity they would be able to get by having it up on youtube would be so much more than on some random site. If it does get taken down though, I think that it would be in the best interest for fans to rip it and upload it everywhere on youtube, that way it'd be real difficult for youtube to take care of it. I wouldn't be bothered though.

How do you guys think this live trailer will turn out anyway? I think 10,000 dollars is definitely enough for an amazing 4 - 5 minute video. I'm looking forward to it.

Everything looks pretty good so far, I just hope they can make the effects look somewhat better or just realistic enough. That spirit ball was super cheesy.

That was probably just a quick rush job that wasn't showing the fan trailer's full SFX potential. I'm sure the clip was really just a test clip anyways.

Also, according to the makers Twitter account, the next video update should be online later tonight.

It's actually up right now! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odm0Oww0 ... re=g-all-u

I sincerely have no faith in this project, I've checked the videos but Dragon Ball Z, specially the Z-part is the one that shouldn't be brought to a live action film.

They could make a film about Dragon Ball and be fantastic but they're more into the big explosive battles which might end up flopping.

DBZ + Real Life.. Just no.

[SSJSteve]

I have faith in this. Sure, it's not going to be anything out of this world, but it'll probably be better than the whole 90 minutes of DB:E. Also, $10,000 vs $50 million...

They're fans of the show and are trying their best to be as faithful as possible, they're already one up on DB:E.

The thing is: should a live-action Dragon Ball movie be faithful to the original? People must learn history, so that they will not do the same mistakes again like those before us, and by that we can move on as better human beings.

[Son Geeko]

How old is the kid playing Gohan? He looks around 5-7. How is a kid around the actual age of Gohan during that time period going to look and act convincing enough (from Piccolo's training to reactions towards certain scenes) without looking like a bad actor?

$10,000 vs $50 million...

Actually, DBE's budget was $30 Million.

[SSJSteve]

A bit off topic, but Emmy Rossum and Justin Chatwin were interviewed by TV Line and the last question was:

TVLINE: Last question: A fan wants to know if there will be a Dragonball Evolution 2….

ROSSUM: Dragonball 2…. Gosh, I hope not! [Laughs] Only because I can’t see Justin getting back in that outfit. That was definitely a moment in time.

CHATWIN: Oh no! [Laughs] It’s like this ongoing joke that will never die, the fact that we did that movie.

Why cant they make the hair look like QuantumDestiny's?:

Honestly it would make the movie so much better.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Hmm...that quote's a shame, because I honestly think that Goku's evolution dogi was one of the better parts of the movie. Sure it wasn't accurate, but it looked good.

As for the hair, is that honestly the kind of style you want? So many products would go in to making the hair stick up in the gravity defying anime style that it would look like complete and utter shit in motion. I don't blame DBE for going the route it did with Goku's hair, it worked better on screen than the other options would IMO.

Meet Piccolo...

[Kendamu]

So they're making a $10,000 fan film. Sounds pretty neat! It's a lot of money for a fan film so I expect it to look good for what it is, but I'm not really gonna start comparing it to big Summer blockbusters or anything.

Hopefully we'll see something beyond that Yamcha test soon.

[Jackal puFF]

Uh, is that picture of Piccolo legit? Okay now I'm starting to worry.

Me too.

Never had any hope this fan-film would work so my expectations wouldn't be ruined. That Piccolo, ugh, lol...

[Saiga]

The ears a little off, but apart from that I don't see what's so bad about it.

[Gonstead]

That Piccolo... does not work for me.

James Marsters Piccolo looks a lot better to be brutally honest, possibly one of the only redeeming qualities of Evolution.

I can't wait to see this happen. I'm going to support it the best I can.
