James Marsters (spike from buffy) is going to be Piccolo
 

in the new live action dragon ball z movie that is set to air next year

spike is going to play piccolo

i remember this cartoon from when i was a kid

i so hope they don't do a planet of the apes on this one
and actually stick to the original story

I have all the episodes downloaded in mpg format.... cause I enjoyed that show so much.

DragonBall Z is one of those times where Hollywood has a chance to make something that is completely out of this world and really amaze people.

However.... it's magical(energy power) martial arts.... and Hollywood has failed miserably at any attempt they've made thus far.

Who'll act as son Gokou??? any ideas?

according to imdb it justin chatwin

I might actually watch it just for him. In my book he was the best actor on Buffy..and certainly one of the best British accents I have heard. He is apparently on Torchwood this season too.

they will fuck this up big!

really
i know he is a producer for smallville
and that was supposed to keep him really busy

but his he is on torchwood i can't wait to see the banter between captain jack and spike.

Stick his name and Torchwood into google...going to be a guest star role apparently. Torchwood hasn't been as good as I wanted it to be but I will watch his episode/s for certain.

What's retarded is that it's the Dragonball story they're using, not the Dragonball Z story.
If they are messing that up already, then how bad can they get the rest?

I only watched Buffy for him....

Lets hope he is a new Captain Jack love interest... :)

BRB - I need 5 mins alone :winkwink:

Captain Jack is straight...in Dr. Who we got to visit his girlfriend that is now an OAP. Seriously, Barrowman should win an acting award just for playing straight.

I thought he was supposed to be Bi?

I didnt see much of Torchwood but I thought he slept with the blonde Welsh guy.....


He sure got a good snog in the last episode - anyway, dont ruin it for me :)

aSIA'S no#1 anime rules dragon ball z im a big fun if the series

captain jack is bi
he flirted with both the dr and rose in the dr who series

when the next doctor found him and took him to the end of the universe he was flirting with both the guy (human) and the female chitang.

He also made out with the real captain jack in the past during the torchwood season.

Since he is going to become the face of boe and the face of boe get pregant he may actually be both sexes.

Yes i know i am probably the biggest nerd you know.

looks like you are getting your wish

Ah, I missed that bit but I shouldn't be surprised with Barrowman (who I actually like..whatever stuff he does in the UK he comes off as a nice guy).

Trust me you would have to work hard to be the biggest nerd or geek that I know BUT I am a geek groupie so it is all good to me :)

I have to say, I wouldn't mind seeing James doing anything sexual..I am okay with hot man on even hotter man sex.

Oh boy!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup

So what's the scoop on this? is it going to be live action? Or are they doing it all cg like beowulf, or are they doing green screen ala Sin City?

Can't wait to see that. I hear that sparks really fly!

The cartoon took a whole season to tell. How are they going to do a good version of this in a movie even if it was 3 hours? This would be something you'd need a trilogy for.

Dragonball can be done in a movie.... basically finding Roshi, training and winning the martial arts tournament in the end.

DragonBall GT could be done in 2 movies, Baby and Android sagas.

DragonBall Z though.... that would need at least 3 movies (Frieza, Cell and Buu). More if you count all the other enemies that they've encounted through the show and movies.

That's the one they're making. Just the Frieza part would be more than one movie. Unless you leave a lot of shit out and just cater to the fanboys who know what the fuck is going on. Anyone not familar with DragonballZ will be totally lost. The only reason I know anything at all is my son watched the shit all the time. I was like WTF is this shit?

WTF?! Will this be produced in America?......shit I that'll be amazing since the budget available here is a lot bigger compared to any asian production.....that'll be fun to watch.......
