Fox Considering Scrapping Dragonball Movie?
When it was first announced that a Dragonball movie was actually happening, a lot of people couldn’t comprehend how such an over-the-top, stylized animated series would possibly work in a live action setting. Then Stephen Chow came on board as a producer and suddenly it seemed like there might be hope. Of course, the movie was originally supposed to be ready for this summer, but Fox ended up pushing it back to April 2009. No official explanation was given, but some wondered if it might be the first sign of trouble. The fact that the movie also had no presence at the San Diego Comic Con only deepened suspicions.
This week we received word from an anonymous source that there may be some truth to this speculation after all. According to our tipster, the higher-ups at Fox are not too impressed the footage that has been shot thus far, and are seriously debating shutting the whole thing down. Now I have no idea if this is a real possibility or if the studio is just putting pressure on director James Wong to deliver, but the movie supposedly has a budget of over $100 million and I can understand them wanting to cut some losses while they still can. The thing is, if this is all true, it only makes me that much more interested to see the movie. If it it’s strange enough to scare the suits, it’s gotta be good, right? Are you looking forward to Dragonball?

I don’t blame them, the movie looks awful, and no one will go see it.
Posted by Mitch on August 21st, 2008There been nothing unsubstantiated rumors, mostly guy looking for attention.
Posted by mike on August 21st, 2008You really got stop posting “anonymous source ” as evidence of anything
You van;t deny that the film, even in still photos, looks like it would suck. I wouldn’t be surprised if this were scrapped, especially after another stylized cartoon adaptations, “Speed Racer”, sucked balls.
This one was just a bad choice from day one.
Posted by Jon Rocks on August 21st, 2008That’s a good point, I bet Speed Racer is making them twice as apprehensive as they normally would be.
Posted by Sean on August 21st, 2008Wow, I really hope my prayers for this movie being cancelled are being answered! Please cancel this movie Fox, if this is true you’re obviously not the only ones dissatisfied with the movie. Just check out the petition against it.
Posted by Kame on August 21st, 2008Jesus. When I looked at that photo something inside of me died.
Posted by Joel on August 21st, 2008If they actually do cancel this, then it’ll be one big wish of the Japanese and Dragonball fans worldwide coming true
Posted by Msotaun on August 21st, 2008Hey look everyone! It’s a big tough internet guy that threatens violence on people he can’t see!
I’m guessing your whole life equals, what 14 years?
Posted by Paul on August 21st, 2008I really thought, seeing films like Spiderman, Hellboy and now Watchmen, Hollywood could make fantasy/adventure films of outstanding quality. But what i have read about the production of Dragonball screams one thing: Mediocre. It looks like someone could have spend a few more hours or days writing the story, exploring the characters or designing the sets and clothing. Seems more like this generation Batman & Robin.
I think that if the production of this movie stops, well have at least a remote chance to see, maybe 10 or 15 years from now, the Dragonball movie we really want to see getting made.
I would wait for it…

Posted by Dreckent on August 21st, 2008meh. I imagine that it’s just not that good.
Posted by Ian on August 21st, 2008I had no idea how the movie looked or any of the characters. This picture on the top of the story are actually Goku & Bulma? I<d rather have Fox cancel the whole thing.
As much as I<d like a live-action DBZ movie, I wouldn’t want it to be the tragedy its bound to be.
Posted by Julien on August 21st, 2008This is an obvious crock of shit, the movie is already finished and is in post production…what would be the point in it’s cancellation? Also, considering it’s from an anonymous source only lowers the authentication of this rumor; was probably made up by a DB movie hater.
Posted by ssx2 on August 22nd, 2008Its already in the can and going through pre-production. Its already being promoted in Japan an North American promotion will likely start in a month or 2. Theres no way FOX or any other movie company would scrap a movie that they paid over 100 mil for. It’s moronic to even think there is any truth to this.
Besides.. it from an “anonymous source â€.. HA!
You cant trust everything you read.
Posted by Really? your serious? on August 22nd, 2008Well I always predicted that this film would bomb like gangbusters, just like Speed Racer, but I didn’t think it would bomb so much that it wouldn’t even come out. Looks like I was extra right.
This film had “SHIT” written all over it from the beginning.
Posted by swarez on August 22nd, 2008Speed Racer was awesome.
Posted by Chris on August 22nd, 2008There were, and still are, people telling that Transformers movie shouldn’t have been released, that they should have stopped production, that the movie would have been awful and so on and on. Well, many of those people were and still are plants paid by competitors studios to post on forums against the movie, just like it’s happening now against Dragonball—and I bet many come from WB pockets since WB and Fox have many lawsuits in progress concerning movies…
Whatever, the Transformers movie was released last year, it was a blockbuster and it’s a sci-fi classic now, an almost perfect movie and only Spiderman3, POTC3 and HarryPotter5 actually grossed higher than that. Anyway Transformers was the best movie released in 2007 featuring the most advanced CGI ever created to date. For the first movie of a trilogy it was a really success, it grossed higher than POTC1 back in 2003.
So, telling that DragonBall movie would look as much awful as WB’s Speed Racer low quality garbage movie flop judging from just a bunch of pictures and a couple of posters on Japanese magazines it’s pretty silly, indeed.
James Wong directed two very good movies: The One, Final Destination 3. And he directed some X-Files tv series episoded back when X-Files was still an excellent production (and not the current lame second movie cheap budget garbage). So, why would have he ruined his own career all of a sudden producing anything worse than Final Destination 3 by having the biggest budget ever given to him ? It surely wouldn’t make any sense. Yeah, it could be.. he could still have made a mess and destroyed his own career and the product in the process.. BUT.. is that to be believed?
Unfortunately FOX might still pull the plug for no real reason despite having an excellent finished product and despite losing money. It’s that simple. James Wong probably made the movie too dark while FOX managers wanted the movie to be for little kids only. I doubt that the opposite scenario could ever be true.. James Wong movies have all been far from kiddie ones. He can deliver very good horror movies like Final Destination 3 was. Yes, that franchise didn’t gross that much and all but it still was a pretty good movie, well above average. That style would fit perfectly for Dragonball and Dragonball Z movies. So, why should James Wong have created anything worse than that or for little kiddies by having a huge enough budget for the first movie, to create a prologue ?
Of course the movie must be dark and push the PG-13 envelope limits to its maximum because fights must be violent enough to be believable and because no one would watch anything like Speed Racer although with the Dragonball name attached to it. BUT what if it’s FOX managers that would want a kiddie movie while James Wong probably produced a very dark and violent action movie instead ?
Also.. where were the FOX executive producers during filming and editing stages? They want to scrap it now that the product is in post production adding CGI effects because they didn’t do their job and so they didn’t check the quality level during production? If that’s the case then they should get fired immediately instead of blaming James Wong and the production crew. FOX executive producers are the only ones to blame if anything really went wrong during production stages and the final product is not up to expectations.
Posted by Joerg on August 22nd, 2008This has to be a rumor. Fox would never scrap something this expensive especially when it’ll drag millions of kids in no matter what.
“Fuck all of you haters who did this. I have waited all my life for a live-action Dragonball and it’s you bastards that cancelled it.”
Calm down dude. I’ve seen behind the scenes shots and this thing looks terrible. Justin Chatwin sucks balls at acting (and plus he’s not even Asian). Also, like Speed Racer, this movie has to be highly stylized to work and treads a thin line of being ridiculous and being awesome. Yet again it’s probably best that it would stay an anime forever.
Posted by Ryan M. on August 22nd, 2008@Ryan M.: What are you talking about? No, really. From some shots you know that the movie is awful? Either you are from the production or you work for the competitors and want to bash the movie. Otherwise there is no way you could know anything and what you write surely is not a fact.
Posted by Joerg on August 22nd, 2008Not every adaptation is as much awful as Speed Racer.
The movie just needs to be realistic, dark and with full non stop action and of course with some very good CGI.
This movie has to be highly stylized, what? Don’t be silly.
Excuse me Joerg but wasn’t Speed Racer dark, full of none stop action and very good CGI? That sure as shit didn’t help that movie. And things can’t be realistic and highly stylized at the same time.
EVERYTHING that I’ve seen from this film looks like ass and can you honestly look at these pictures and say “Damn, this looks kick ass.”
And why the hell are you taking this so personally? And why do you think that all the naysayers are in the competitors pocket? This thing looks like shit, utter shit. Nobody has to pay me to see that.
And trying to compare giant ass kicking transforming robots to a goofy looking spiky haired douche in orange pajamas shooting balls from his hands is just futile. Transfromers has a cool factor that translates well to the screen that Dragonball will never have, ever.
Trust me, this will be Double Dragon of the new millennium. The sooner you realize that the better.
Posted by swarez on August 22nd, 2008@swarez: Speed Racer was dark, full of non stop action and very good CGI ? Are you serious? No, really.. do you believe what you wrote there?
What movie did you watch? Speed Racer on a parallel world maybe? You went to a parallel dimension, another verse and you watched a Speed Racer movie that was dark, that had full non stop action and a very good CGI ?
Well, in this reality they produced a Speed Racer movie that looks both silly and pathetic, that targets very little kids mainly, that has a pathetic low kiddies serie of action sequences (it seems a Disney little kids show) and has a silly CGI that has nothing realistic and just looks like a little kiddies cartoon.
Posted by Joerg on August 22nd, 2008Whoa, there?! How about some moderation, Sean? Is it really all right to leave up messages like this?:
“Fuck all of you haters who did this. I have waited all my life for a live-action Dragonball and it’s you bastards that cancelled it.
If I ever meet you I will kill you, Kame.”
BTW, this does look pretty terrible, and I’m glad that I will (would) be spared two months of agressive marketing for a shitty product.
Posted by Matt on August 22nd, 2008Transformers sucked very hard, but I would still prefer it over this Dragonball Z movie, and I’m no production company plant.
@Jeorg: Of course I am only speculating that it will be bad (and as a fan I hope that I’m wrong). I admit it is a premature judgment but I have my reasons:
a. Justin Chatwin was terrible in The Invisible (that may have been David S. Goyer’s fault but even Samuel L can be decent in a movie with a shit director). Plus how the hell does he embody any of the physical aspects of Goku? (Ok maybe Goku doesn’t have to be Asian but I can still think of a lot of people that are better suited for it.)
Come to think of it almost every casting choice besides Chow Yun Fat seems wrong.
b. It doesn’t HAVE to be highly stylized. It does have to be stylized if they want to be true to the anime/manga. Making spikey hair, flying clouds, capsules, and saiyan tails something to be taken seriously would be close to impossible.
c. I saw the behind the scenes shots online (I’d link but I can’t find them again and trust me they were authentic) and have no association with Hollywood. I saw pics of Chatwin wearing the trademark gi and so forth which of course don’t benefit from being seen through someone’s unofficial camera…but they easily looked worse than the Japanese live action version (which at least had some enjoyable camp value).
d. James Wong has only done Final Destination 3 (which was only mildly entertaining) and The One (which was TERRIBLE). Those films did not show that he has a sense of style beyond generic or show that he is capable of doing anything truly awesome.
Also why should it be dark? Sure the original has genocide and killing but so does Star Wars. The Dragonball anime has an overall light-hearted feel just like that classic (and it would be best if they are true to the source material).
Posted by Ryan M. on August 22nd, 2008Did you hear those assholes? They called the site filmdrunk! And they said stupid filmdrunk!
Posted by Drew on August 22nd, 2008@Ryan M.: Your point (b) there is enough to make you look pretty silly, really.
“b. It doesn’t HAVE to be highly stylized. It does have to be stylized if they want to be true to the anime/manga. Making spikey hair, flying clouds, capsules, and saiyan tails something to be taken seriously would be close to impossible.”
No, really.. do you believe that statement of yours ? So then Spiderman movies, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Carribean didn’t work for you.. they weren’t stylized enough, uh ? They did look too much real for you or what ?
What are you talking about?
Your statements have no connection to reality. The One a terrible movie ? For its budget it was a quite good sci-fi movie indeed. It’s not a masterpiece like Alex Proyas’ Dark City BUT it’s still a good movie.
The Dragonball anime gets pretty violent and dark as the story progresses. The light-hearted feel you see maybe it’s in the censored version, watch the fully uncut japanese subtitled release and you will see that it’s nothing silly. Dragonball Z it’s really dark, the first two (and best) chapters of Freeza and Cell saga are really violent and dark. A correct adaptation must make it even darker in order to make it a success.
Posted by Joerg on August 22nd, 2008Fantastic Four movies by FOX got quite darker than the original comics and they worked pretty well. That’s the bare minimum a Dragonball movie has to achieve in order to be a success. Darker it gets more chances it has to become a blockbuster. They must not target little kids but grown ups and teenagers mainly.
Drew: There is actually a site called Film Drunk, they must have gotten us mixed up.
Matt: I’d moderate if the guy was being abusive towards someone specifically but it sounds like he’s just a DBZ fanboy venting his anger at no one in particular.
Posted by Sean on August 22nd, 2008Joerg. Do you know how fucking stupid you sound?
Posted by Swarez on August 22nd, 2008Anyone who calls Transformers a “Sci Fi classic and almost a perfect movie” clearly got his head up his ass.
Fail.
@Sean: Well.. it seems that user “Swarez” really needs some moderation. He keeps insulting whoever doesn’t agree with him. However is good not to censor his own words so that everyone can judge his behaviour and see it clearly.
Posted by Joerg on August 22nd, 2008@Sean,
It sounds like he is directing his anger at the user Kame from comment number six and is threatening his (or her) life.
If that’s not abuse, i don’t know what is.
Posted by Matt on August 22nd, 2008Oh right, I don’t know how I missed that part. Okay I’m removing the comment, even though it’s just typical internet BS.
Posted by Sean on August 22nd, 2008“He keeps insulting whoever doesn’t agree with him”
Ha ha ha ha. Oh the irony.
Posted by swarez on August 22nd, 2008Well if this is completed it will actually be the second live action Dragonball movie. Dragonball: Let The Magic Begin, was a Chinese live action remake of the original Japanese animated film. This will probably be on par with China’s, and thats not saying much. Although China’s version was at least funny, i remember laughing at how lame the production value was (just think Power Rangers).
Posted by cronenfly on August 22nd, 2008Sad really. Cartoon TV series have such a rich history of fine cinema. From Richy Rich, to the Flintstones, Rocky & Bullwinke, all the way to Underdog and Alvin & the Chipmunks, there’s nothing more I need from a film than watching breakdancing Transformers to make my life worth living.
Thanks Hollywood for being so consistent in your quality of the genre! Please oh please do The Snorks next!
Posted by Mike on August 22nd, 2008I never seen such massive effort to see a movie fail.
Posted by Mike C on August 22nd, 2008with the constant whining , petitons, false rumors, dissing actors & director. It just like batman but in reverse ,but I was actually letdown after after all hype so I guess DB is actually in good place
This totally would be up to how deep into shooting the production is in. If its very early it could be true. If its very late-not likely. About a year ago Fox pulled the plug on its Revenge of The Nerds sequel after looking at the dailies a few weeks into shooting. It can happen!
Posted by entertainmenttodayandbeyond on August 22nd, 2008MY error- That was a Revenge of the Nerds remake!
Posted by entertainmenttodayandbeyond on August 22nd, 2008@Jeorg: Grab a dictionary and please review your comments because it is obvious now that English is not your first language.
1. You have no idea what stylized means as every film you mentioned is stylized (and actually I did enjoy them all for the most part). Actually that paragraph is barely coherent so I may be wrong about what you are saying (if you are indeed saying anything at all).
2. I’ve seen all of the Dragonball Z uncut DVDs up to the beginning of the ridiculous Boo Saga so I’m well versed in the entire series. I agree that it is violent but it rarely gets very dark.
Plus, It certainly doesn’t make sense that an adaptation in which the tone changes from the source is “correct”.
3. Studios generally make more money from family friendly films than any other kind. I believe family friendly films can be violent at times. (Once again I’ll say that Star Wars is a prime example of a violent film for all ages.)
Feel free to reply to this post but I’m not going to address any more of your points. If you do reply please refrain from insulting anyone on this site as much as possible.
(I must admit I was amused by some of the insults above this post but I’d hate to see this site become Filmchan. Sean, I trust that you’ll make sure this never happens.)
Take it easy Jeorg. This has been a laugh and you actually brightened my day!
“Your statements have no connection to reality.”
Lol.
Posted by Ryan M. on August 22nd, 2008If they do cancel it, I’d be a little dissapointed, but relieved at the same time. dissapointed cause I waited two years to watch it, and relieved because it looks sooooo bad! It’s like the Prince of Tennis Live Action, except there would be sequels. I liked the animes and mangas, but if they made the movie for this, I’d watch to support the original writers of DBZ, and hopefully they do a remake in the future with appropriate accomodations.
Posted by Axel on August 23rd, 2008@Ryan M.: Your statements are pathetic. You are the one who insults others. And all the babbling concerning my English.. please… my English is pretty good and you did understand everything I wrote BUT you didn’t like that and you want to force people into thinking that your words are the only ones to be trusted and whatever you say must be law and truth.
Posted by Joerg on August 23rd, 2008So, please, stop whining and insulting.
I watched the show when I was in high school and was a big enough fan back then that I’ll be seeing this film if it does indeed come out. I’m not a big enough fan to really care whether or not it does in fact get released, though. None of the images or rumors I’ve seen/heard about Dragonball have given me much hope for a quality film as of yet.
Posted by Rian on August 24th, 2008I’m the fans of this comic and stephen chow…
Posted by Snoopy on August 24th, 2008so, really hope that this movie launching….
That’s not a big surprise considering a lot of people are pissed about this movie. Just look at the website. Some people are even talking about boycotting. What till the people on the website hear about this.

Posted by VEGETA_DTX on August 24th, 2008Wow, Sean. You’ve REALLY upset the Dragonball community with your cancellation news. Being a hardcore Dragon Ball fan myself, I have no ill intentions of showering you with bad comments. However, be more careful with your sources, especially if they involve Dragon Ball. DB fandom can be very “anal”.
Posted by ShenEvil44 on August 24th, 2008All I can say is that I trust the validity of this source a lot more than I trust some of the other silly rumours that have been floating around out there lately.
Posted by Sean on August 24th, 2008“DB fandom can be very “anal—
DB fandom can be very fake, I’d say…I’ve met so many NOT-AT-ALL-DB-FANS that are calling themselves “DB fans”…I never meet them more in my life then now…
Everyone who is supporting this movie is NOT-DB-FAN-AT ALL!!! IMO.
And I believe this site MORE than I believe DBMB who is the producer of 50% of fake rumors…
and watch out cuz I just might be right this time…but then again I might be wrong as well 
((((((
Posted by VEGETA_DTX on August 25th, 2008So I consider their last few news as just a tactic contra rumor
this film wouldn’t be have any haters if they make this film correctly and not telling their own storyline with their own characters which never told in the anime!!!
Goku never go to college, it’s awful!!! we want a plain Goku character!!! and where’s Krillin in this film?
Posted by origin DB on August 26th, 2008@Snoopy
Posted by kruge on August 28th, 2008Stephen Chow’s not at all involved, so you might as well give up on this flick
I was a fan of the entire series, from Dragonball to Dragonball Z, although I should mention that I didn’t care much for GT, but from what I’ve seen so far, I can say this with ease, 1. I will be seeing the movie, and 2. Nothing I’ve seen so far has me thinking the movie is going to Rock. There aren’t many good pics out, and the ones that are out seem too plain, they don’t seem to follow the style of the show, and without any scenes showing their CGI, there’s no way of knowing if the movie will be good or bad. Hopefully it will be great, but if it fails, oh well. It won’t be the first time a movie was made that didn’t suceed in pleasing it’s core audience.
Posted by JohnG on August 30th, 2008well, I do hope this movie comes out, if it busts, it will probably set a chain off saying stop messing with animes. if it comes out great, i might someday see a live action Gundam movie (gundam would destroy transformers) or maybe at least that Evangelion movie i was promised a century ago. People give this movie a try, just be that kid at the theater saying THIS MOVIE SUX and move on, theres no suit grabbing you off your computer chair and forcing you to spend 10 bucks to see this movie (20 bucks for gas too :p) and then hold your hand and say this movie rocked repeatedly over and over till your ears bleed and you died from the hemorrhage and then held your body in a frozen chamber till the movie came out on DVD and he shoved down your throat before finally shooting you with his own Kamehameha so he can post on youtube but dont worry it will get over 9000 views!
Posted by DonA on August 30th, 2008Well, the fox website still has it listed as an upcoming release…sooo, as of now, it’s still in production.
Posted by Mike on September 3rd, 2008I’LL BE DOWNLOADING THIS MOVIE FOR FREE ONLINE. I RECOMMEND EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME. DON’T GIVE FOX YOUR MONEY. HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS. ONLY WAY I’LL WATCH THIS FILM OUT OF CURIOSITY IS VIA BOOTLEG ONLINE! EVERYONE SPREAD THE WORD!!!!!

EPIC FAIL
FOX —> 3==D
I meant FOX –> 3==D suckers
Posted by J on October 15th, 2008you gotta remember that you cant make dbz into a live action film. but its like Spiderman and Lord of the Rings and Star Wars—if you watch it in the day time with some friends you realize they look so stupid. but at night alone in your room you love them and Dragonball can pull this off. and hopefully DBZ fans will looks beyond this movie and realize that it can lead to better ones like the Trunks-Cell saga. you have think of the big picture. this is the only and last and best chance at a DBZ live action movie. lets lie if we have to and get Fox to make as many as possible so we’ll have something else to hold on to. cause for me its the story–and i dont care that it’ll suck–its Goku and Bulma and Yamcha [and hopefully with the worlds help Vegeta Trunks and the Andriods and Cell and Frieza too] i cant wait for it to come out. i want to see what they make of it and no matter what it is it will ultimately just add to DBZ’s original greatest not take it away.
Posted by Carrie on October 19th, 2008I noticed no one actually posted the petition.
Posted by SaltineKraken on October 28th, 2008So here it is: http://www.petitiononline.com/dblam444/petition.html
Whether you choose to sign it or not I’d like to say this movie is not a Dragon Ball movie, just another scheme of Fox’s to get us to part with our money and feel shameful afterwords for doing so.
F*ck
Posted by JM on October 28th, 2008The sad part is that it’s so bad dbz fans will go see it anyway… JUST to see how bad it is. I know I am, I’m 20, a junior in college, and have been watching db dbz and gt since I was like 9. Seriously man, its almost as if they didn’t even try. The reason why the series attracted people in the first place was because of the rediculous story plot, should have kept it. Even younger kids will look at this and know it’s crap.
Posted by Stephy on January 9th, 2009This is a disgrace to dragonball z, the main actor doesn’t even look like fucking goku… what a load of shit
Posted by leroy jenkins on January 12th, 2009cut and dry no questions asked if a db movie comes out it may spark a resurgence of fans. I honestly would prefer a new anime in the series but i’ll take what i can get. i can even enjoy some vegeta bulma XXX fakes. i was grabbed by the dragonballs and i want more. i would also love to see more merchandise for my son (me) he is six and loves db. Lets all shout dreamworks DB movie. that would finish me off.

Posted by dragonman on January 16th, 2009wf! goku was asian!
crap..
another western attempt to Americanize anime/manga legends..even if stephen chow’s the producer there’s no way caucasians should portray asian roles, my 2 cents.
and who the hell are those original characters made for the film??
are those idiots you call filmmakers trying to kill the “essence” of DBZ??
oh c’mon dickheads…even before the movie is released, it is a RESOUNDING FLOP! A BOMB!
my 2 cents again…lol
Posted by owen on February 7th, 2009load of shit!
scrap this shit you call movie to the nearest junkyard!
oww..i hope they don’t make movies portraying gohan, goten, and vegeta…
resurgence of fans??
c’mon..maybe an emergence of tomato throwers dude…
Posted by owen on February 7th, 2009these Americans should stick to adapting-to-film their comics and not in poking their stinky noses in asian manga.
…trying hards….
try making new movies like your crappy romantic comedy flicks or those superhero films you could imagine..
makes me rant knowing that our beloved DBZ was PERVERTED, repeat PERVERTED, by AMERICANS – asshole c*cksuckers. my 2 cents…lol
Posted by owen on February 7th, 2009i have seen it and it is really bad a disgrace to the dragonball series
Posted by Singhyd on March 22nd, 2009Dragonball:Evolution RuleZz Baby!!!
Posted by 7BaLlZz on March 27th, 2009@joerg: Your shitty ass movie failed miserably at the box office. It only made 4.7 mille on opening day which landed them 8th place at box office.
As of now, the movie made $ 52,245,681 and it’s still a failure b/c their budget was 100mille. however, some sources says the budget was 45 mille. I bet the most of the 45 mille was spent on chow yun fat.
In conclusion, this movie couldn’t even beat hanah montana movie which is pretty sad. And it couldn’t even beat Fast and Furious and this movie came out a week a head of it.
As for director james wong, all his movies suck balls. He couldn’t even win an emmy for any of his movies. the only emmy he got was for X-files but this is for best series not MOVIES. I have yet to see james wong win an emmy for a movie and by looks of dragonball evolution, he won’t receive any emmies anytime soon.
