Well, I think he looks pretty awesome -- less like Powder and more like the Remans from Star Trek: Nemesis. Not that the Remans were awesome in any way, really.

And I'm sure I'm pissing off DB fans everywhere, but I always thought the turban looked stupid.

Sean Patrick Flannery, not Robert Sean Leonard.

A crappy cartoon with a geek following made into terrible film.

Happens all the time.

I wish I cared about the source material enough for these things to bother me, because boy, are people pissed!

Still looks like a fun time to me so far. I anxiously await a trailer.

Train wrecks are so fun to watch. I don't see what the problem with a green tint would be, but it does seem everything in Dragonball is a problem for them.

Hmm...it could be this is just to show the sculpt, and he'll be turned green afterwards. But what have they done to the head o.O? James Marsters has those crazy cheekbones that only really needed a skullcap and some antennae (and pointy ears) not the giant prosthetic-wrinkly thing he's got on there.

On a barely-related note, the first pic looks to me like what would happen if Dr. Frank N. Furter and Freeza had a baby. :p

I asked Marsters how he prepared for the Piccolo role, and he said he'd actually already watched all of the episodes with his son, who is a huge fan. I reserve full judgment until the official trailer comes out--no telling what they'll do in post--but surely he would have noticed the "not green" thing.

Ugh... So not sexy, Mr. Piccolo.

Actually I think these are stills from the trailer.
Bad as they show the movie will be, at least now there is more ground that this flick will suck and that the whole world should boycott it like Japan

Well with the way they've been treating comic book movies recently, maybe they'll just reboot it if the first one sucks so bad. Dragonball looks as if it's going to be much like the Super Mario Bros. movie with no attention paid to the source material except for the names.

I'm not sure why they didn't just make him green. It's not like that's any more weird than him looking like Gerard Way. The movie might be good, but what good is Dragonball Z without all the weird stuff? That's what made it cool in the first place!

Oh man rage.

wonder if hes white due to all the green screen CG that''ll surely accompany the film?

either way. FAIL

Im glad Billy Corgan can still get work.

Is it too much to ask for a green Piccolo? :lol:

Is it too much to ask for a green Piccolo? :lol:

If he was green, he'd look like Jim Carrey as The Mask.

Is that what you want? Is it?!

fuck this movie.

Not quite Piccolo to me. Reminds me of Spike though.

Kain, gone bald.

This is absolutely nothing similar to Piccolo. Well, except for the bald head.

This movie still might be cool in its own right. I don't know why they made all these changes, but they seem to at least have a plan. I don't like seeing my childhood smashed to pieces, but this could be like X-Men and really surprise everyone by how the characters are still the same, they just look different.

A Better Cast:

Piccolo: Jimmy Jean-Louis
Gohan: Brandon Soo Hoo
Trunks: Ken Leung
Master Roshi: Nick Nolte
Vegeta: Zachary Quinto

What the- he looks like Freezer minus the clown makeup!

We feel cheated! We want our money back!

..Or at least we want our sanity back! Yeah, that's it!
