DBthemovie has a HQ scan of this weeks Young Jump Dragonball spread. Click the image to make it bigger!

Translation: It took me a while (I used my old High School Japanese notes as well as google) but I’ve got somewhat of a translation. The article basically says that they’ll have an exclusive set report from Dragonball in the next issue (Shonen Jump says the same thing). The article also says something about Goku holding a Dragonball, so I take it that’s what is in his hand.

Looks like we have another scan coming soon. This one from Weekly Young Jump which hits Japanese news stands this Thursday. The picture of Goku is the same, just in color this time. There’s a nice new image of Emmy though. Thanks to Dukemon and Sour_Mikan for pointing this out to me.

In stunt related news, Chelo248 found an interesting comment from Emmy Rossum Fan’s talkback:

Random tidbit, but I gained a new appreciation today for how hard Emmy would have worked on Dragonball. I was talking to James Marsters (he plays Piccolo) and he said that it was the hardest job he’d ever had in his life because the stunts were simply so demanding and the director wasn’t letting anybody (including Emmy) fall back on stunt doubles unless it was desperately necessary. I don’t know the extent of Emmy’s stuntwork, but if it’s even half as much as James’ she worked her butt off.

We’ve never really had word on who would be handling the visual effect for Dragonball. We know that Ariel Velasco-Shaw is the VFX supervisor, and we know that Image Engine and Ollin Studio were doing pre-visualization work. Well, now it seems we have confirmation that Zoic Studios (Van Helsing, The day After Tomorrow, Spider-Man 2) is working on the film.

Check out a reel of there work here.

According to IMDB, Bart Mixon is one of the special makeup effects artists working on Dragonball. Mixon has worked on such films as The Terminator, T2, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, and Hellboy.

Check out his work here.

It seems Mr. Mixon left us a little comment below:

Just wanted to clear a few things up about my involvement with DRAGONBALL. I was brought in near the end of the shoot to apply ADI’s prosthetic make-up for Lord Piccolo. Steve Koch sculpted the appliances for ADI, and Ed French was the on set make-up artist who worked out the final color details for the Piccolo make-up application. The show went over by about a week, and Ed had another obligation, so ADI asked me to fill in for Ed for that last week. If I recall, there were about 8 appliances, plus teeth, and it took about 4.5 hours to apply and color. I hope you guys like it when Fox finally released photos of it. 

Thanks for filling us in Bart!

Dragonball-Lapelicula posted (in spanish) a description of what went on during the training period before filming Dragonball. It doesn’t seem like much is revealed, but it’s an interesting read.

 * Also in the Palenque , Manuel Adrian ask for an autograph to Jamie and Justin, who signed the sack of his uniform Tae Kwon Do they very graciously agreed, but an officer monitoring what was returning to her place by saying that people should move, Manuel Adrian just moved to one side chatting with Jamie and the official insisted until forcejearon and the official withdrawal and Manuel Adrian received his great gift by the players.

Lots more here.

UPDATE:
2 more photo’s:

Considering filming is complete I guess they’d actually be old. But scooper Brandon has what appears to be two set photo’s from Dragonball. They don’t show anything in particular unfortunately.

Hey guys! So, I’ve kinda been in the hospital for the past several days (I’m totally fine now) so that’s why the site has been pretty dry on the news board. Though it doesn’t look like much has happened since I’ve been away. I think it’s about time we get this banner contest up an running. Thanks for all the submissions! Here are my top choices:

1. Satoshii

2. Justin

3. Gabe

4. Lebnash

I’ve been trying to set up a poll for voting, but that hasn’t been very successful. So just comment with either the persons name or the number they’ve been ordered in. On to other site related news, thanks so much for making the message boards as good as they have been. I didn’t think it would be that popular, but to my surprise we had over 100 users register in just 2 days! If you haven’t joined yet you can here. I’m also looking for a banner for the forums, so check out the fan art section for details on that.

And for a small update on the official website, dragonballthemovie.com now redirects to Fox’s main page.

UPDATE: I was going to keep this going for a bit more but it seems everyone is pretty much going with number 4. Congrats Lebnash!
