ATTENTION DBZ FANS:
The DBZ Live Action movie has been
CANCELLED.
Here's the developing story, by XZ:
Straight from
KyleHebert.com:
I literally JUST got off the phone with FOX Studios in Los Angeles,
CA. I asked outright about the upcoming live action Dragonball/Z movie.
This is exactly
what I was told by my contact:
"The Dragonball Z movie? We don't have that. I 've
got a lot of calls about that so I called around [the studio]. We won't be making that
[movie]."
So there you have it, folks. That is the OFFICIAL story from FOX. I know
some of you may be disappointed, but I also think it's a blessing.
Here's another
article reguarding the movie, by Otherworld Steve:
I decided to follow up a bit more
regarding the rumored live action Dragonball/Z movie. One persistant rumor has been that
"George Lucas' CGI company ILM has signed a contract to do the special
effects."
Today I called Ellen Pasternack, Public Relations for ILM. I asked her if the
rumor was true; if ILM was brought on board to provide the special effects for the Dragonball/Z
live action movie. Ms. Pasternack's reply was that it had been mentioned, but ILM never
officially signed off on anything and it never came to be. She also commented that, as far as
she knows, the film is not being made.
The news are definitely shocking, but I agree
with Kyle: it's a blessing. DBZ would have been destroyed in the movie. Keep in mind that no
official statement has been released by 20th Century Fox, but these news come from a
trustworthy source. Also, remember that FUNimation had nothing to do with the movie, so
don't expect any comments on the situation from them. If anything further develops, we'll
keep you informed.

I don't think a movie
would destroy a whole show!!! It's like a movement!!!
One bad Mario Movie didn't
stop ppl from lovin' the game!!!!
I Would have liked to see this movie even if it wasn't
as good as the show. How could it be worst than 3 weeks of talking in the mountains and 2
Days of fightin'?!?!?!?! U feel me?

if u ask me thats a
good thing cuz dbz has fell off long ago cuz of cartoon network showin reruns of the same shit
like 5 times a year and the only way ppl will watch any dragonball series is if they buy the tape
cuz shit aint cut off on the tapes they cut too much shit off on the cartoon network version
they even cut off shit on the adult swim animes they have they should move db to action
channel cuz they show animes uncut

i didnt say mario still
aint played worldwide, i said he is not rated as the best character in video game history
anymore. get any jive turkey who play games off the street and ask him/her whos the best
character and i bet mario never comes to mind and they say someone like sephiroth or solid
snake
i know what this topic is about so i dont need a reminder lol im just referring
to a point u made
to the last point u made about db hurtin, take a prime example, mortal
kombat annialation or however u spell it, it came out when mk was falling off, dont get me
wrong, but u cant say when ppl were ask what was the best mk at that time they will say part 3
and wont think of part 2. most ppl would say 2 was WAY better than 3 and annihilation was
mostly based on 3 now mk annihlation debuted well but FLOPPED and after that, mortal
kombat didnt come on top until deadly alliance now how many years did that take lol even
though mk trilogy was the shit
and u say a db movie will be somethin new? HA! look at
what they did to fist of the north star (they killed it witht he movie) look at crying freeman (that
movie tight) look at all those anime to film movies ....so this aint somethin new and 90% of the
anime to film movies SUCKED the main ones that did was the one based on ppl runnin around
wit powers example: fist of the north star.....need i say more?

Uh no...they're gonna say mario!!!!!!....no one knows
who the hell solid snake and sephiroth are but die-hard videogame fans.Everybody knows
mario...even luigi is more popular than solid snake! Hell i don't even know who the hell
Sephiroth is! And i always play games! That mk thing is wack....mk didnt fall off because of the
movie! Shit it only had one or two games in between the time period of 3 and deadly alliance!
SHit and part 4 was very popular! And i think a little game called Tekken could have
contributed to the fall off of MK! And how can DBZ the show do bad if it is already
over...nothing but reruns are being shown!! DBGT is on now!!! And the movie wouldnt not
have flopped ..a lot of people have been waiting for that moment and wouldnt have passed
that up!

far as ive see mario dont come up as much anymore and
no one knows about solid snake and sephiroth that just die hard gamers? thats an
understatement you would be suprised how many non gamers know them, especially solid
snake some might not know snake by the name, but show a pic of him i betcha i changes. and
i didnt say the movie made mk fall off I SAID anihalation was released WHEN MK WAS
FALLING OFF! and i would assume ppl would know y so i aint say it it was cuz of 3d platform
games and the popularity of sports games growing. mk4 did well BUT to midway's
expectations, it didnt do well. and dbz can still do bad in the us when the company that owns it
still is milkin the muthafucka, comin out wit toys, games, all that shit, it still can fall off and it did
BECAUSE of constant reruns and ppl buying tapes so they know what happened and have no
need to watch dbz, its still popular, but nowhere near as popular in its prime in america, why?
CUZ IT FELL, and today, now the movie would flop because for one, all of the dragonball
series is considered tame by today's anime standards, and what movie in america that got ppl
shootin powers and shit besides the first mortal kombat did well here, ONLY ONE DID! and
the first mk barely had the use of powers compared to part 2!
point is, dbz would have
flopped now cuz they took so long to plann the damn movie out when they had plenty of
chances to drop it at the height of its popularity.

I'm still hoping we do
get a DBZ movie. There's still a chance it will be released. I don't see why cancel it now. I
think there's still a strong of a following out there. Kind of like the GI Joe live movie and the
Transformers live movies that will be released within the next few years.
