Well this still says their is a possibility of the movie which means the end to the rumors will not stop. Honestly I still think any live action DBZ movie would suck.

Yeah, but the way they said there was still a chance of a movie being made was in the same sense that there will be a DBZ movie 14 movie being made: none.

Well, I don't know about it "sucking" but I do think that its possible to make a good live action movie of it.
Just because one attempt didn't go so well, doesn't mean it will happen again.

I believe it's not a question of if it's dead, but if it ever existed. Fox denies even having the license.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Yah, that sounds funny to me. Why make the huge thing over it just a year ago. Even FUNmation was conferming it. And I would think that for the movie to show in the states it would have to go throu them first. :?

Yeah but the official DB/Z sites seem to almost not be run by official personnel. It's as if they got some fanboys to do it.

Funimation.com update: "Oh my God! According to this fansite there might be a live-action DBZ movie!!!!"
You're supposedly the owners of the liscence! Wouldn't YOU know?? :lol:

Well, I don't think they would. The liscence for the DBZ anime, is a lot different than to produce a live action movie. Basically they would have nothing to do with it.

No, no Funimation holds the North American rights to DBZ period. That's why all toys and other products have that little writing down below saying that all distribution rights and such are the property of Funi after all.

Basically what the funimation website tells us is rumors. Obviously we see them later than on other sites but it does not seem official. All the episodes times and DVD release dates are outdated too.
