The only other movie Chatwin has been in was "The Invisible" which I saw which was a pretty good movie, but he pulled off a better performance in "Worlds" if you ask me. Anyway, I think Marster has the facial capacity and the bad ass attitude to play a wonderful Piccolo.

And actually most people have been using this thread in service of a Dragon Ball thread Nathander, but I think your onto something.

Bulma may have been cast. It is rumoured that Mexican star Camila Sodi has nabbed the role. It was reported by a Mexican press and games site Kotaku, although it hasn't yet been confrimed by Fox yet.

Jamie Chung has joined the cast of Dragonball Z. She'll play the role of Chi Chi, Goku's love interest when he's growing up.

Dragon Ball has REALLY been making progress lately. Many more casting calls have been made and there's a handful of new stars now on board. In addition to the roles of Chi Chi, Piccolo, and Goku. We now have Eriko Tamura playing "Mai" one of Emperor Pilaf's henchmen, Joon Park playing "Yamcha" and Emmy Rossum with an unknown role.

Joon Park is a new face, he's of Asian descent and he originally was a singer for a band I think. No clue who Rossum is playing, she doesn't look like Bulma so i don't know if thats her role and Eriko looks pretty fine and dandy to be Mai. Also, they released "set photos" from Dragon ball on a movie website I visit often.

Now granted this is just a set photo, I really can't honestly say if this is what Justin Chatwin will look like as Goku for the movie. I don't know what they are filming, where they are filming or how its being set up so don't assume this is how Goku will look. Most people don't do that and get upset before they see OFFICIAL movie released photos to give them a better idea.

Anyway, here's some set photos from the DB movie including more information behind the casting details:

I got two words to say to that: PERFECT casting!

I'm not too familiar with, Mr.Yun-Fat but he doesn't really look like the perverted hermit type to me. But I've been surprised before.

He's done the following movies, the most famous ones he's done anyway:

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Bullet Proof Monk, The Killer, and Hardboiled.

It's been revealed that Emmy Rossum's role will be Bulma.

Here's some facts that I found for the movie from Wikipedia:

In adapting the Dragon Ball manga, the futuristic cities were kept, but the anthropomorphic talking animals were dropped. Many of the locations are very Oriental, and there will be some Aztec influence too, particularly from their temples. Many of the female leads and extras will have unique hairstyles, including Rossum, who will wear a blue wig to resemble her manga counterpart. Chatwin, however, will not wear a wig as it was felt his hair already resembled Goku's.
