...and back to the irksome movie news. Here's the first pic of Justin Chatwin as Goku in the live-action Dragonball movie, courtesy of the Japanese Shonen Jump. Besides his overmoussed hair and American Eagle clothes and dull expression and the fact that none of the actors in this thing look at all like Akira Toriyama's original manga, I guess it's okay. Except for all that. Here's a translation of the Japanese text, courtesy of DB the Movie:
I’ll grant you a wish…!!
Rumor after rumor but [now] Dragonball live action movie finally comes true ! Director James Wong of Final Destination, and producer the revolutionary film maker Stephen Chow of Shaolin Soccer. Remarkable casts are Son Goku is Justin Chatwin who played Tom Cruise’s son at Steven Spielberg movie War of the Worlds, and Master Roshi is Chow Yun-Fat of Pirates of the Caribbean.
All Dragonball fan’s wish are granted now ! We will continue to offer new information to you on Jump Cinema Island !
And the Chinese character on the Goku’s T-shirts is “Un”(means luck, fate, fortune)
I don't think I'm wrong in thinking this movie will need all the luck/fate/fortune it can get.

This pleasantly surprised me.

Posted 05/12/2008 at 07:26:43 PMi REALLY think your RETARDED...so let me get this strait... this movie, that is a LIVE ACTION is to your standards supposed to be EXACTLY like the cartoon...I'm going to write this in caps just in case... THERE IS A REASON WHY THE ACTORS DON'T LOOK LIKE THE ANIMATED CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW...BECAUSE THEIR CARTOONS AND THEY CAN BE DRAWN TO LOOK HOWEVER THEY WANT AND THERE ARE ONLY A HAND FULL OF ACTORS OUT THERE SO FINDING ONE THAT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE GOKU FROM YOUR WET DREAMS IN PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, AND P.S. HIS HAIR IS FINE FOR THE FILM, I WONDER WHAT A REAL LIVING PERSON WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH GOKU'S HAIR... FUCKING STUPID BECAUSE HUMANS AREN'T CARTOONS.. AND AS FOR HIS THE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE... SORRY HE IS A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR AND KNOWS HOW TO ACT AND NOT BE A FAGOT FANBOY WITH A CONSTIPATED LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE IS PRETENDING TO DO A KAMEHAMEHA OR WHATEVER. THERE IS A REASON YOUR NOT PLAYING GOKU... A) YOUR GAY AND GOKU IS THE FARTHEST FROM GAY. B) YOUR SUCK AND LOOK RETARDED I BET. C) GOKU WOULD KILL YOU IF HE WAS REAL AND MET YOU FACE TO FACE... MATTER OF FACT YOU'RE NOT EVEN WORTHY OF GOKU EVEN KILLING YOU FACE TO FACE. HE WOULD TURN HIS BACK AT YOU AND YOU WOULD JUST COLLAPSE DEAD. FAGGOT THIS MOVIE IS GONNA BE STRAIT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND MAKE SOME MORE KAMEHAMEHA ANIMATION WITH YOUR ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS.
