Live Action Dragon Ball Trailer Successfully Fails
Someone at the Brand Licensing Expo Europe 2008 managed to catch this cam footage of somewhat less-than-eagerly anticipated film adaptation of the popular manga/anime/video game series Dragon Ball. As was expected, it looks relatively hideous, from Chow Yun-Fat's hideous costume to James Marsters reprising his role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Spike, who in turn tries to portray Lord Piccolo. Don't worry about the sound, there is none in this early preview trailer. Somehow I think we're better for it. More »

Early Dragonball Movie Images
Worried about that Dragonball movie? You, and the rest of humanity. Even if Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-Fat has joined the cast, we're still skeptical. These onset Dragonball set images from Mexico City don't really help. That's Justin Chatwin (Tom Cruise's kid from War of the Worlds) as Goku. He's about to be hit by a car or something. Dunno, really. Does it ever matter at this point? More »

Your Weekly Update On Atari's Financial Woes
Man, Atari just can't catch a break. With the exception of the publisher not having its Dragon Ball Z licensing rights retracted by lawsuit, it's just been bad news compounding bad news for the company. It doesn't get any better, as today NASDAQ notified the company that its publicly traded stock may be delisted for having too little market value. We just hope they got the message, as I've heard rumors that they didn't pay their phone bill and the last remaining email server was burned so executives could stay warm. Here's to hoping they can still get one of those "pay as you go" cell phones to stay in touch. They've got until March 20th to sort it out, so keep them in your thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Atari Allowed To Keep Crapping Out Dragon Ball Z Games
FUNimation's recent disagreement with publisher Atari cast doubt on future Atari-branded Dragon Ball Z games. I know, it would've just been gutting if we couldn't see yet another Dragon Ball Z fighter packed to the brim with horribly designed characters from Mr. Akira Toriyama. Today, we have "good" news to pass on, as IGN is reporting that FUNimation and Atari have agreed to terms that will allow for the continued stream of DBZ licensed software to continue through 2010.

Some Lady Cast in Dragon Ball Movie
Shooting on the Dragon Ball Z hasn't started yet and the cast is still being assembled. To bring everyone up to speed: The picture will be helmed by Final Destination director James Wong, Goku will be War of the Worlds' Justin Chatwin (Tom Cruise's son in the movie), Piccolo will be Buffy the Vampire Slayer's James Marsters. New announcement: Jamie Chung (who?) will be playing Goku's wife, Chi Chi. Chung cut her acting chops as herself in reality show The Real World, three episodes of daytime soap Days of Our Lives and as a Hooters girl in Adam Sandler's I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Remember when we thought there was a chance this actually might be a decent flick? Neither do we. More »

And The Dragon Ball Z Movie News Continues!
So Hollywood is making a Dragon Ball Z movie, which will probably suck to varying degrees. Goku will be played by Justin Chatwin, Tom Cruise's son in War of the Worlds. Rumor has it that Mexican actress Camila Sodi auditioned for the role of Bulma, which makes sense as the movie is being shot in Mexico. If true, she might be a good choice. Aqua hair aside, she at least looks like her anime counterpart. Now whether she can act or not... More »

Heroes Star So Excited About Dragon Ball Movie
So against the wishes of humanity, the Dragon Ball Z movie pushes forward. While we're less than thrilled, Heroes' actor James Kyson Lee is totally jazzed. While at the Pacific Media Expo in Los Angeles, Lee said that he's auditioning for the role of Yamcha in Fox's live-action Dragon Ball Z movie. He gives the DBZ script one big Goku-style kamehameha and says the movie should get a 2010 release. That means the Dragon Ball is safe! For now. More »

Live-Action Dragon Ball Z
Off the top of our collective heads, we could rattle off 20 or so anime that would make great live-action films. Dragon Ball Z is not one of them. DBZ isn't even in the top fifty. Or the top hundred. Dragon Ball works great as a manga, a cartoon and a game — but no way in hell should it be turned into a live-action movie. Too late! It's happening!! 20th Century Fox has lost any and all sense and has greenlit a US $100 million big screen version. The movie will shoot in Montreal next year, wrapping in July. That means there is still time to convince Fox this is a truly doofus of them. More »

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Hands On
You might recall that I really enjoyed Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the Nintendo Wii back when it launched with the system last November. There were a few minor annoyances with the game, such as having to keep your Wiimote pointed at the screen at all times, but for the most part it was an excellent fighting experience for the fledgling system, whether or not you like DBZ (I don't.) Here at E3 I managed to get some hands-on time with the next iteration of the series for the Wii, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and it looks to improve on the last game in nearly every way, while adding a first for DBZ console games...online play.

Rumor: Dragon Ball Online Hitting Xbox 360?
Vague confirmation comes via a job listing; however, it appears that the Dragon Ball Z MMORPG (with its clever title Dragon Ball Online) is getting an Xbox 360 incarnation as well. The game's developer NTL is looking for programmer — With Xbox 360 experience, preferred. Nothing official has been announced for the Xbox 360, but hey, it makes sense! If this is true (and we don't see why not), guess DB Online is yet another game for Microsoft to pin its elusive Japan hopes and dreams on. That is, unless there's a PS3 version in the works as well!

Next MMO: Dragon Ball Z
Mark your calendars. In 2008, a MMO Dragon Ball Z will be hitting Japan. Being beta testing in Korea this summer, the game is set 200 years after the manga's end. The plot? An evil organization has divided up the world, which players set out to reunite. What's more, players start off as kids, grow into adults and can select any of the major races — Saiyan, Nameks and Humans. Just as you'd expect with any MMO, players can also make their own avatars. Artist Akira Toriyama will be lending a hand to design characters, backgrounds and generally make sure the game looks all Toriyama-ey. More »

Inevitable Dragon Ball Z Game On Revolution
Those energy-ball throwing saiyajins in Dragon Ball Z are coming to the Revolution says that blurry-assed scan and Jeux-France. The game's called Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, and the screens are from the PS2. It apparently will be out in the US this fall. Bound to happen, but the PS2/Revolution differences should be of interest. Everyone should brace themselves now for when Bandai shocks the world and announces a *gasp* Gundam Revo game. Unbelievable, we know. More »
