Dragonball DS And Dragonball Wii Art Look, Um, Different
3:00PM Brian Ashcraft | A new year brings one thing: More Dragon Ball. You know what that means? More Bulma. More »Live Action Dragon Ball Trailer Successfully Fails
12:00PM Mike Fahey | Someone at the Brand Licensing Expo Europe 2008 managed to catch this cam footage of somewhat less-than-eagerly anticipated film adaptation of the popular manga/anime/video game series Dragon Ball. As was expected, it looks relatively hideous, from Chow Yun-Fat’s hideous costume to James Marsters reprising his role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Spike, who in turn tries to portray Lord Piccolo. Don’t worry about the sound, there is none in this early preview trailer. Somehow I think we’re better for it.

Ernie Hudson in Dragonball Movie (Hooray!)
1:00AM Brian Ashcraft | We could be posting other stuff right now, but fuck that. We wanna talk about Ernie Hudson. The Ghostbusters star has joined the cast of the live action Dragonball movie that’s filming in Mexico. If for some amazing reason, the live action Dragonball movie does not suck, we have one person and one person only to thank. That person is Ernie Hudson.

Why Aren’t These Guys Making the Dragon ball Movie?
9:00PM Brian Ashcraft | When you watch this fan made Dragon Ball Z showdown between super Saiyan Goku and bad dude Freeza, ask yourself this question: Why is Hollywood making a Dragonball film and not these guys?

Dragonball Movie’s Bulma On Gaming, Bunnies
5:20AM Mike Fahey | 22 year-old Emmy Rossum isn’t just the adorable actress picked to play Bulma in the Dragon ball movie. She’s also a bit of a gamer, and a blogger. Ooo, and she loves Wal-Mart! We have so much in common! While I get busy writing Mike+Emmy with little hearts all over my spiral notebook, take a look at an excerpt from her latest blog from the set in Durango, Mexico . I’ve never been much of a video gamer, but I like the adventure games and the shooting games might help my hand/eye coordination for the gun sequences in the film. I picked up a few games not really knowing what I was buying and when I started playing one I realized I had picked up “Stranglehold” starring Chow Yun Fat! Based on the John Woo movie “Hard Boiled,” the graphics are incredible, he jumps, flies and shoots in slow-mo, very John Woo, very cool. I feel a little shy to tell him I’m playing him on a video game, to tell him how cool it is! More »
1,500 Mexicans Needed for Dragonball Flick
11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Live in Mexico? Like Dragonball? You’re in luck! The DB movie is looking for extras. No experience necessary! It looks like the cattle call has already commenced. This is actually the coolest news to come out of the Dragonball movie shoot. In an age were all crowds scenes are CG, it’s pretty neat that the producers are using actual people for the shoot. Too bad they seem to be mucking up the rest of the flick. Then again, after the censoring the anime got when it came to the US, this movie should just be par for the course.
