Dragonball Cancellation Rumors Not Likely

Source:  MovieWeb.com
Film Junk is reporting today that Twentieth Century Fox is looking to shut down production on their big screen version of Dragonball. In the report, higher-ups at Fox are said to be unpleased with the recent footage that they've seen. And that they are seriously considering shutting the whole thing down. Well, this is entirely not true.

The film was completed a while ago, and the reasons for moving the film's release date from this summer to next spring was to insure that all of the needed special effects were completed. We have a source that is very close to the film. And he/she says that the first edit is done, and that it has been shown to those "higher ups" at Fox. And that they love the finished film. Our studio contact, who we aren't allowed to name at the moment, worked on the production, and has seen the completed movie. Everyone involved seems to think they have a hit on their hands, and he even went on to say that it was "pretty darn awesome. There is certainly talk about a sequel. I have no doubt that it will happen. I'm sure that it will be a trilogy."

If you are anxiously awaiting Dragonball, don't be scared by these sudden rumors that the film is being scrapped or sent directly to home video. That is certainly not the case. Dragonball is still set for a April 3rd, 2009 release date.

This is what happens when hollywood spends no time developing young asian actors. Only casting the same tired actors (Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yung), or not appreciating the Tony Ja's of the world. Great example of passive, or deliberate, racism.... You decide!!!

This movie will never get the appropriate budget. Has more potential than most comic franchises (Vegeta, Freeza, Androids, Trunks, Cell Saga), But Hollywood is telling you here that they don't have the Asian talent to attract any worthwhile director, or harness a useful budget. This film is so Peter Jackson territory.
Too bad it will almost certainly blow balls. Seriously, what R-Tards are in charge out there? Too much blow/white/yay going around the noses of these baby boomer execs

i would love nothing better than for this movie to work, mainly because Marc and Phat's life depend on it.

BUT.... i totally see a street-fighter thing going on. they take a great idea (well, so you say... i don't watch it. i watch "man" cartoons like X-Men Transformers and the awesome Thundercats, 2 of which have been a great success when turned into movies) and ruing it with a cheap budget and crappy director/actors! i will prob go and see it, thats if i can't get on the net before it's release.

just curious but how could you attempt to cancel a movie that is already done filming? makes no sense. and I agree Travis, I hadn't heard a damn thing about a cancellation til this article came up. although its hardly news, more like hearsay and being completely incoherent. who the hell would believe this shit? Aside from all the haters I mean....and they don't buy it either. They just wana talk about how it SHOULD happen. Well too bad d-bags, its going down like all your mothers after I take them out to a seafood dinner and never call them again. Hoo rah!!

well then it looks to me as though your going to be one of the people in line opening night waiting with your 10 dollars in hand saying "awww shucks! I wish this would have been cancelled" now shut the fuck up, because its not, as you can clearly read above.

August 25th, 2008 8:04am
Scared? Fuck, most people dont want this to be made because its starting to look like crap!! I'm one of those people who would love to see this piece of shit cancelled...
