Oooo you are right, thanks for the correction. I am going nowhere near the damn DVD though, thats for sure.

Even if the next film has a $250,000,000 budget it will just be a longer version of a piece of sh*t if they keep the same talent. If they were to make DBZ they should change everyone cast and crew, and ignore that this film exists. Like the Hulk and Punisher did. I was disappointed by that news too, but it makes sense now. It was a relatively cheap production with a B movie cast and crew. Not surprising. But I think ur right Superraizen. They will probably forget about this film once they focus on DBZ. DBE doesn't exactly seem like a model for any film to be built on IMO. This film was obviously an experiment just to see how the world would react to a DB film. Obviously, pretty well. So, if we find out that the US reacted just as well in one weekend, they'll greenlight it and call the experiment a success. But I hope that they transition Goku in the possible sequel from Chatwin's age to like thirty by casting an older looking Goku for most of the film. Eh, you never no. I kind of still wish that Warner Brothers brought this franchise. I think that they would have really made it look awesome and not just like another Street Fighter.

I was thinking New Line or Dreamworks would be good to. Pretty much anyone but Fox.

New Line is doing really badly right now, I believe, so I think that this kind of investment would be too risky for the executives. And this isn't a project that Dreamworks would pick up, its not their thing. Warner Bros., on the other hand, can do super hero movies with a bang, but I don't know if they would do an anime like this... I think that they would stay away from the foreign cartoon comes to life through gritty and dark, niorish live action filmmaking. The gritty and dark formula has always been their trademark and has always worked for them, but I don't think that it could work for Dragonball. Maybe tho, as I don't know what that alternate future would look like.

The idea of the movie was laughable to most people which should be expected. However instead of trying to show people that it could be done in a semi-mature action blockbuster kind of way, the studio half-@$$ed it in terms of the budget, script, and marketing. Most people had no idea about it and those who knew about it thought it looked weak. Transformers (not that it was a great movie) had a really big budget and tried to make a movie that appeal to wide audiences. The idea of that was laughable at first to most people too, but when people saw the trailers (and a lot of people did) it got a lot of hype and anticipation. That was the world's reaction to a Transformers movie. This was the world's reaction to a Dragonball movie that the studio had no faith in.

But advertising for films doesn't work like that, in such a black and white way. There are many reasons for it, and I wouldn't ever suspect a studio of thinking that one of their films would utterly fail. Executives get fired because of that as they are the ones who give the ok, and they get paid a LOT of money. They didn't do little advertise because they thought that it would fail, they did that for another reason. Usually, when a studio thinks that one of their films is that bad, they advertise a lot for it so that people will still go see it. And that usually works for them. But its hard to tell when things like this happen. But I highly doubt that its because they had no confidence in their own film.

What did you think when you watched yourselves performing the superpowers with the CGI? Jamie Chung: It blew my mind! James would not even give us even a sneak peek as to what he was working on. He would go into his Bat Cave and do his editing. I didn't hear back from anyone for the longest time and finally we sat down and watched it. It blew my mind! It was two hours long and it went by in five minutes! I was like: �That's it?! No!! None of my scenes were cut, thanks James. I was so impressed with all the special effects. It was so magical. -->SOURCE<-- keep in mind that they're talking about the original director's cut, not the theatrical one that we saw. that or she's exaggerating. but why would she?

Actors have to be able to sell their movies as if they were the best thing on earth. But from what i remember the DVD will include 10 minutes or so. I think.

Autobot Posts: 820 Group: Global Moderator Member #573 Joined: June 12, 2007	meh exaggerating on the awesomeness of special fx, or fights or soundtrack yes, but saying it's 2 hours long doesn't make it look better, and also, this interview was published the day before the movie came out, so everyone knew (more or less) that the runtime is 85 minutes. now, we know for sure that some scenes were cut and will be in the dvd release. ok, so how long is it actually? assuming that Chung wasn't exaggerating, and said that spontaneously, she either didn't remember the runtime and made it up, or, since human mind works like that, the movie's 100/110 mins long and she rounded that off to 2 hours but i'll stop here or i'll transform into a psychologist, or an advocate

And actors aren't salesmen for a film, the studio's and producers, and agents are. The actors just have to look good for the cameras and such. They of course care if their film does well, but its not their job to sell it. When they're promoting the film during interviews and such, they're promoting the film, I wouldn't call it selling.

Super Saiyan Posts: 1,337 Group: Members Member #15 Joined: April 15, 2006	I dont know what i want now, or whats really better to get great dbz live action movie. Is it better for them to make squeal and get bigger budget and fix a lot of things so it dont look so corney or is it better for them to drop dbz? If they would drop dbe, i would hope that fox lets some other company make this how is should have been done. I dont know if anybody would make dbz live action, so i hope that fox gives them 100mil+ budget and fixes all the crap. It doesnt need all new cast, it just need to have a good plot, costumes, directing and filming can be better and make it more dbz. Show some real anime of Dragonball Z, show some real powers. And i do have to say piccolo was great in this movie.

That's not going to happen... you mean another studio? that means that they would have to sell their rights, which is also not going to happen as they have more to do with the rights and they have no incentive (them making it poorly isn't an incentive for them to sell it). If they increase the budget for a sequel they should recast it as one of their hired casting pros sees fit, as that's what they're paid to do. They should get rid of Wong (which probably means improving the screenplay and recasting the production), add some very talented actors to the cast and perhaps hire different producers. As the producers are involved with the editing process and approving of the location. They should also put in much more cash for advertising and start bidding for a time slot in order to run DBE on tv asap, on networks like the Disney Channel, TNT (for the older audience), Comedy Central, NBC, ABC, FOX...the major ones that younger viewers tend to watch. And they should have McDonalds sell DBE action figures with their Happy Meals, that would make some noise among the kid crowd. I don't know what else they should do off the top of my head...

I do not want to Wong in the next film. Unless you read the manga before. Anyway I liked the movie I was pretty, but I have seen it 2 times already. Like almost everyone I do not like the cuts will have to echo the film, but even so I give the movie an 8. Dragonball within this universe, pear to be the first time in doing so have achieved nearly the perfeccionhttp:http://209.85.48.18/7059/157/0/e13483//e13483.gif Edited by Pepekun, Apr 13 2009, 03:58 AM.
