Ideas for the movie, the characters, the hair, and so on. Anything truely important and unique can go ahead and have its own thread, but this will act as kind of a basis where the film can just be discusses. That way the board doesn't seem to crowded with the same old threads, with the same old topics. If you do make a thread and it suddenly dissapears check here, it may have been merged. I'll be pretty lenient on the matter of new threads. But I will keep it organized. ENJOY!

I mean look at some of the movies that companies have made; Starsky and Hutch, Bewitched, Dukes of Hazzard, all from old tv shows that before the movie came out nobody really cared about them anymore. And maybe I'm wrong but I think Dragonball is way more popular than these shows ever were. Dragonball has a worldwide following. Can you really say the same for Dukes of Hazzard?

Kneel Before Your Prince! Posts: 4,309 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: April 16, 2006	I forget where I heard it, but a while back I heard someone talking about FOX. They said something along the lines of: Fox is the type of company that won't spend the money buying up the rights to something unless they have interest in making it. I can't remember what movie this was refering to, but I believe it may have been X-Men. Either way I'm sure it still stands true. Fox is one of the leading motion picture companies, and if they own the rights to a franchise as big as Dragonball Z (which is pretty much the top selling anime of all time, unless of course thats changed) I'm sure they have some plans for it. Like I said on the old forum my guess is 2008. It wouldn't be very smart in a business sense to release it this year (which is impossible) or in 2007. In 2008 the X-men Franchise will be over, the Spider-Man Franchise will be over. And I know before I said that it could go up against the possible Superman Returns sequel but now the SR sequel is slated for Summer 2009. Most likely the sequel to Batman Begins will be in 2008. But Batman is WB. Fox needs something big to go up against Batman and Superman. What better to face off against good Comic Book Live Action Films, than a Manga Live Action Film. It would be the perfect time for Fox to launch a whole new franchise. And I'm sure they know this. MY PREDICTED RELEASE DATE: JULY 4, 2008 or JULY 11, 2008 This way they can still workin the "7" angle with July being the 7th month.

How they should handle a certain character or a certain element of the film? Go ahead and post it here. For instance I think that the character of Korin isn't needed in a live action film. I think that the duties of Korin can be passed onto Mr. Popo's character. Mr. Popo, being a gardener also, can be the one who grows the sensu beans.

Yet Starsky and Hutch is the only great film out of that list. Fox may not want to risk it.

I pretty much agree that DBZ needs to be changed up, spliced and diced, and rearranged before it can logically fit in as a movie. For instance, yeah, Korin could easily go. It'd be sad to take out characters, but the DBZ cast is just so huge that there would be no way to keep all the minor characters in the plot without confusing the audience (such as making them ask "why did we only see that cat character for ten seconds?"). Some others who could go could be Puar and even Chiaotzu. (Chiaotzu?! Yes, he may have assisted in the battle against Nappa, but after that he was extremely limited. Tien can still fight to the death even if his little buddy isn't there to sacrifice himself.) I can remember about two or three forum revisions ago I posted a few good ideas about how Dragon Ball could work out. Vegeta, I know you've already written your script for DB and the first DBZ movie, but tell me if this sounds nice or is anything like your installment of the series: The Red Ribbon Army is established into the beginning of the story as a massive terrorist organization which has been attacking random locations for reasons which are not understood. Grandpa Gohan and Goku don't live alone in the mountains, but rather on the outskirts of a small mountain town, and the movie begins with Gohan attending a town meeting. Many are fearing recent reports of the RR attacking small villages for unknown reasons. They are also talking about rumors of a giant ape or beast roaming the woods . In the meantime, Dr. Briefs and his daughter Bulma arrive in the village for some sort of meeting with the town with the offer to construct a new branch of Capsule Corp., promising increased industry, job oppurtunities, economy, etc. Their car ends up breaking down and they find help from Grandpa Gohan and Master Roshi, who keeps in touch with his student and has dropped by for a visit. There, Bulma meets Goku, and then somehow together they discover the four star Dragon Ball. Then the RR army attacks (they're searching for the DB's and have detected the one Goku has just found.) Gohan and Roshi duke it out with the army (Kamehameha anyone?), but Gohan is killed. Goku as well fights, and following Gohan's death he becomes and Oozaru in the moonlight. He won't be fifty or a hundred feet tall as in the anime, but still quite tall and massive, like Bigfoot or the Yeti or something. After the fight, Roshi takes Goku and Bulma to his island to recover. They still have the DB in possession, and Roshi maybe answers that he has heard a tale of the DBs and their wish giving powers. He suggests they visit his old student Ox King, who is rumored to as well have a DB in his treasure collection. Thus the adventure beigns. In the meantime, the RR army realizes they have a problem. On this Earth, in this history, the existence of superpowered or extremely skilled martial artists isn't exactly common place but at least well known. The RR realize they must take every precaution necessary to halt anyone who wishes to stop them and has the ability to do so. The army is led by General Red still, but they are financed by Emperor Pilaf, who is in fact royalty but his family's land and wealth has all but disappeared. Now, Pilaf is obviously not human, but what exactly is he? A dwarf or an elf? Actually, I was thinking, since Nameks can reproduce asexually, maybe the original Piccolo, before he bacame Kami and King Piccolo, had a few spawn here and there over his long lifetime. Pilaf could be some sort of decendant of Piccolo, with evolution and mutation taking place over the generations. Pilaf agrees that the army needs to protect itself from those who are strong enough to do harm to their plan, and decides it's about time to awaken his ancestor, rumored to be extremely powerful, but he was trapped or encased or vanquished a long time ago. Tambourine, Drum, Cymbal and Piano would be Pilaf's still living ancestors as opposed to King Piccolo's servants and children. They take flight and pursue Goku throughout his adventure, while attempting to gain the Dragon Balls (the use of the DBs won't be mentioned just yet, for of course General Red wants to be taller, and Pilaf wants to control the world, and Piccolo will have his own intentions.) And with that, King Piccolo is introduced, and becomes the main antagonist. Once he is awakened, he can either destroy or take over the army. Well, that's my idea for how the DB movie should be portrayed. I'm trying to keep the most important elements of the film while also introducing modern ideas and concerns. For instance, the RR army being labeled as a terrorist organization would be a means for modern viewers to connect to the film in a world today where we have the War on Terror, and we have seen just what terrorism can do. The audience will practically be screaming for heroes to rise up and stop the mayhem.

I just never said anything because I didn't know how many people would complain. But he isn't in my script anyways. I like your story too. My involves the RR army too but they aren't as big of a drive in my story. Although they are the cause of Piccolo's release.
