DBZ movie WTF?

[timepiececlock]

"The movie is sounding pretty bizarre. Live-action flick with WAR OF THE WORLD's Justin Chatwin starring as Goku and James Marsters playing the villain, Lord Piccolo. "

That's a sentence you don't read everyday. Oh JM... I'm glad you grabbed a big movie job, but I'm frightened that it's this one.

On the other hand, IMDB has a rumor that James Kyson Lee (Ando on Heroes) could be cast as Yamcha---a piece of hilarious casting brilliance, if you ask me. I might go just for that. If this is a baseless rumor after all... I'll be sad.

While I understand the purpose of starting a potential movie franchise at the beginning, it makes me sad because, well, when I was into DBZ in high school, the episodes I liked were the Freiza space quest and the whole thing with Cell (when Future Trunks is running around and Bulma keeps looking at Vegita and going "STOP BEING AN ASS AND HOLD YOUR CHILD, ASS"). However, the fact that I've never seen /read the original Dragon Ball series means that a movie would be full of new plotlines I haven't yet enjoyed.

I remain skeptical though.

I was sad to see they were starting at the beginning. I wanted Marsters to play Vegita. That's all I've ever wanted, lol.

That would be so cool! Damn. I wish they'd done one of the Vegeta storylines, preferably one with lots of Bulma. Argh.
