Fuck Cameron Diaz.Godo wrote:Cameron Diaz could play Bulma, nuff said.
Which is exactly why I don't want Cameron Diaz in this movie. Bulma's an important character and I know they're going to cast some moron for the role.Godo wrote:It's better to have actors that can act than shitty acting.
XDDDDDDDD Once again I agree with Desire. She's also not *that* great an actress herself. Plus she's too old. So are Hugh Jackman and Brendan Fraser. And I also love the guy, just totally can't see him as in that role. Just because he played an obtuse Tarzan, doesn't mean he can pull off Goku. Well I'm suprised I didn't see Diaz put as #18 like Pojo did years ago with their "If we casted a DBZ movie" article. That was just insulting to the character and almost as mindboggling as them putting down Elizabeth Hurley for Chi-Chi.desirecampbell wrote:Fuck Cameron Diaz.Godo wrote:Cameron Diaz could play Bulma, nuff said.

Sure, Annihilation wasn't very good. They stretched themselves too much, tried to do too much in one movie and tried to please too many people with cameos and name drops. But the first movie? The first movie kicked major-fucking-ass.I don't see how anyone could be FOR this movie. You realize that an adaptation on a property as colorful, comedic, whimsical and FOREIGN as Dragonball will most likely not get a movie adaptation as high-quality as Batman Begins or X2-- you should expect something more in the area of . . . Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
Yeah, because obviously if you've never heard of them they can't act. Christopher Reeve was horrible as Superman. Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamil sucked in Star Wars. And Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson were just godawful in the in Harry Potter movies.The cast will most likely be a bunch of new actors that can't act very well. I wouldn't get my hopes up for anyone we've ever heard of.
Yes, Xyex's post is the post to end all 'Hollywood can't do this!' posts.BrollysKin wrote:Agreed Xyex, I'm just glad I didn't say it as I'm sure there will be a big angry post from Desire when he sees it. Here here!
Edit- I actually loved Spiderman 3, I thought it was the best one.
Well, I guess that's that (again). Regardless, I think I'll keep my new avvy as a little reminder of how ongoing this whole movie thing has been. (Okay, maybe I'll change it back after a week or two.) And to quote Mike...daizex.com wrote:You've probably already read it elsewhere, but it would behoove us to update with the information, as well. Via IGN (and note the update to their own report at the end):
September 4, 2007 - It looks like 20th Century Fox is rushing the long-awaited live-action movie adaptation of Dragon Ball Z into production before the looming industry strikes happen next year.
According to the Montreal Gazette, Dragon Ball Z will shoot in Montreal sometime in the coming year; while an exact start date isn't known yet, the paper reports that production is expected to be completed by next July.
Dragon Ball Z is based on the manga by Akira Toriyama, which also beget an anime series of the same name. There's no word yet on who will write or direct the picture.
UPDATED: 20th Century Fox has informed IGN that this report cannot be confirmed as neither start dates nor locations are locked in at this point.
Huh. Basically, IGN grabbed the same news that everyone else did from the Montreal Gazette, and then Fox got back with them and said something to the effect of, "Well, we have it, but let's not actually go ahead and confirm anything about the movie."
Regardless, I'm sure this topic is gonna go on for a couple more pages going off on one tangent or anotherdaizex.com wrote:So basically... we're in the same position we were in back in 2002. Great. OK. Wake me up when something's confirmed.
.Personally, I think the chances are pretty big of this movie being pulled off even with the new side note about nothing being confirmed. I mean, if they decided to mention it, I doubt it's just going to disappear into the depths of oblivion or something...it isn't like last time. They just randomly brought it up for no reason? I think they're serious this time...I have strongly mixed feelings on this.
One half of me wants to make sure this movie never sees the light of day. That part of me is screaming "THIS IS GONNA SUCK!!! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL THIS WILL WORK!!!!!!!!!!" I see a bad hair day, a impossible plot, etc. etc!
But another half gives me a few more shimmers of light to this bleak mess. For one, I've seen worse hair dos in real life. Second, i see a few ways it can be done.
First film - have a fifteen minute prologue, then Raditz enters at the present, he fights Goku and Piccolo to the death, and that's the first hour. the next half hour is spent on training. And then spent an hour to an hour and a half on Vegeta and Nappa. However, make it so that Vegeta's presence is mentioned the entire time, reinforcing his role as the villain. Also, it might be cool if they showed him ruining a planet just to enforce his power. And in the training, they could just show Goku entering King Kai's world, Gohan becoming an Ozaru, and Piccolo and Gohan bonding. The bonding being the main event in the training. However, hint at Goku's SSJ powers near the end. And, naturally, let Vegeta go to fight another day at the end. Maybe also allude to a stronger enemy in the distance as well at the last ten or fifteen seconds.
Second Film - Namek saga and Frieza saga. They go to the planet Namek, they encounter Frieza's men for the first, say, hour and a half to two hours. And then, for about fourty five to an hour at the end, the Frieza saga. Keep in mind the entire Frieza saga is one massive fight scene intermingled with a few flash backs. And at the end here, show Goku going SSJ. Naturally, this would give enough time for Frieza's dues and the entire Namek saga where everything is explained.
Third Film - Trunks enters. You may or may not need Frieza to be mechanized and return, but show a reason for Trunks to become a SSJ. Have the Android Saga for the first fourty five minutes, and Cell for the next hour and a half to two hours (maybe two and a half hours). It would give Cell his dues while not undermining the Androids. If I remember, the Android and Cell sagas were shorter than the Frieza saga. And maybe, just maybe, alude to a higher entity in fear for set up for what would end up being my favorite of the films...
Fourth Film - MAJIN BUU!!!! The first half hour to fourty minutes devorted to Babidi and the ressurection, and the next two hours to two and a half hours purely Majin Buu's rampage in all his majesty! And at the very end, naturally, having Uub as a finale to the film...
Perhaps have Turles one of the Saiyans that comes with Vegeta or Raditz, but no more than that. Perhaps have Cooler come to Earth rather than Frieza and have Trunks kill him. But I doubt movie villains would work beyond that.
