Here’s a little update concerning one of the Dragon Ball Z movies approved by film production company 20th Century Fox. News about this has been going around the Internet for some years now but it was only back in September of this year when its production was finally given the green light.
According to the latest statement issued by 20th Century Fox in Hong Kong, the live action movie Dragon Ball will start production later this year and is scheduled for a worldwide simultaneous release on August 15, 2008. The cast is still not yet complete but confirmed personalities that are involved in the project include:
- Stephen Chow as Producer (known for Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle)
- James Wong as Director (writer for the TV series The X-Files and director of Final Destination)
- Justin Chatwin as Son Goku (played the son of Tom Cruise‘s character in War of the Worlds)
- James Marsters as Piccolo (played the vampire Spike on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
While there’s no official statement as to what particular saga in the wide Dragon Ball universe the live movie will take place, we have a strong reason to believe that it will be based on the Piccolo saga. This speculation comes from 20th Century Fox’s own description of Piccolo as the main enemy of Goku.
