Dragonball Z: The Live-Action Movie - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Yes, it's finally happening! Here's proof (courtesy of WorstPreviews.com):

CHUD got their hands on a casting notice for the upcoming live action "Dragon Ball Z" movie, which describes most of the characters we are to expect. In addition, the site learned that James Wong (Final Destination, The One) will be writing and directing the new film for 20th Century Fox.

The goal is to begin filming in November in Montreal, with the studio already budgeting over $100 million for the pic.

So all you Dragon Ball Z fans can relax! It will happen!!!

Oh jeez, it's really happening? I don't really have high hopes for this movie but it should certainly be fun to keep an eye on its development. Who knows, I could be pleasantly surprised with a good kung-fu type movie.

I hope that they get Scott McNeil as Piccolo.

You know I was really hoping that this one would stay dead. Excremental shows can only yield hideous movies in my mind. No offense to anyone who does like the show.

I take offense at the use of the word "excremental" as I hold DBZ in the utmost HIGHEST of regards and don't appreciate it being associated with that word's meaning. I am beyond excited to hear this and I am finally happy that this show is getting the LIVE treatment.

It is an excellent anime series with enough visuals that could capture a whole new generation of fans with this release, it could also bomb but I don't knock anything until I try it. From what the cast list at CHUD indicates, this will take place actually before DBZ, towards the end of DB in the Piccolo saga.

I know there will probably be some changes and it won't absolutely be 100% accurate to the show (but then again, every movie based on something has the same things so I'm not worried). Praise the lord and THANK YOU!

This fan cannot wait to see DBZ in the way it should be, silver screen style.

I'm hoping for a "THE BALLS ARE INERT" reference myself.

Hey, X-Men 3 had a reference to "AH'M THE JUGGANAUT B***H" so it could happen.

WorstPreviews.com has provided scans of the cast from a Japanese magazine. They are quite big, so I'll just provide the links:

I am half happy, half excited about this. On the one hand, I think Yamcha looks much better then I thought and I was really impressed at what they were able to do with Bulma's hair, as well as Goku's hair. However, I am deeply concerned that Master Roshi does NOT look very much like how he should in the show.

For one thing he was BALD and had a LARGE white beard, I expected Chow Yun Fat to be a bit more faithful to a role he takes on. I get the feeling this movie is not going to be 100% faithful but at the same time, I don't feel I'm going to totally hate it. I have a feeling it'll get it like half right and half wrong or something.

Which sucks because I'd rather they get their act in gear the first time and do this right, needless to say I at least like how the costumes and set pics look. I'm more concerned with how DBZ (sequel) will actually look since I loved Z more then the original but still, I'm gonna give this movie a chance like most movies I see.

I'll wait to see a trailer to see how this goes, I'll definitely see it either way but I'm hoping for my own fan sake they get more things right then wrong.
