I believe the old films were just distributed by Toei (the main movie company).

As previously mentioned, it could be a holdover from the deal they made for Evolution. But I wonder if it's also for international distribution, along the same lines as Disney and the Ghibli films.

Also, in addition to being a major stakeholder in the franchise, Fuji TV probably has the option to air the movie on TV at some point.

It's funny how here in France, some comments state "see how it's Dragon Ball Z and not Kai. That shows how Kai was a huge unprecedented flop in the history of anime".
Hum... I don't think so. :) It would just be dumb to call it Kai when "Kai" stands for the notion of old material being remade or refreshed, while the movie will likely focus on new material. That's all.

Anyway, it's too bad that there's no additional information with the end of the countdown, but not too surprising: we're like 8 months away from the release, so they have to keep enough information to keep us entertained for all these upcoming months while still not spoiling us too much. So we shouldn't expect too many information too soon, especially about the plot...

It is even possible that they have made the announcement before even having ideas for the plot, and they might actually check the fans' reactions to see what kind of plot they might like for a potential "best movie ever" and start developping the plot. Well, at least it seems they've decided what era is involved (since we see Goten and Trunks). But even that might be unsure, since we see characters with outfits for several different eras, so maybe we just have a generic artwork for now to cover all eras until they decide the plot.
But likely, it will be like the 2008 movie: focusing on the era after Majin Boo was defeated.

They made a Kai battle stage with an original story (loosely based on Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan though), Dragon Ball Kai: Super Battle Stage: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon ... ttle_Stage

And several video games too.

I'm using this background right now as a background, it's clear, blue and fits with anything. :)

Well, the Frenchies got a much better dub of Dragon Ball Z in Kai so this is a huge bonus than goofy Space Warriors. :lol:

He looks like the fusion of Piccolo Daimao and Android 13.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

There's no way a major production like this would be halted for a lengthy period of time. Certainly not for fan reactions

I like to think that both Toei learned from Strong World and that Toriyama isn't that finicky with the plot.
If you're not here soon... GET ON!

Nah, it will most likely be based on Dragon Ball Hoshi the new anime by Toriyama Akira. :P

But seriously, where's new real info about this film?
