Entertainment: Dragonball Live Action(??)


Yup, it's pretty much confirmed. The highly popular Japanese anime is set to hit the international silver screens soon. Dragonball will introduce Goku and a handful of friends battle for the Earth against the deadly forces of the Saiyans, who are sweeping across the universe, leaving a path of destruction. Goku and his friends' best chance for survival rests with the Namekian DragonBalls, which provide them the power to summon a mighty dragon.

Honestly, even though big time Hollywood producers can really pull out the stocks on the best CGI sequences and AfterEffects, well, effects, I'm still pretty skeptic as to the result of this movie. I mean, the spikey hairs, the kame-hame waves(?), the saiyan-transformations on Hollywood actors (not that asian actors will look better at it, I doubt) don't really propose much promise. Unless, they try to make it much like another Spy-Kids movie, which is already revolting enough just by the thought of it. But, I guess we'll never know. Maybe, just maybe, it may even be better or greater than what most people anticipated--maybe.

The movie stars Justin Chatwin (The Invisible) as Goku, Chow Yun Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)as Master Roshi, Emmy Rossum (The Phantom Of The Opera) as Bulma and etc. The movie is set for an April 8, 2009 playdate.
