DBZ Not On Fox’s slate?

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Coming Soon got there hands on a memo that shows all of the studios top priorities in the coming months. These are the films that are being fast tracked into production before the strike. One interesting thing to take notice of is that Dragonball Z is NOT on Fox’s schedule.

So it would appear that DBZ is either still in development hell, or is being held off until the strike passes. Only time will tell. For more on the current movies being made, visit ComingSoon.net at the link above.


On The Horizon

There seems to be a lot of anime based movies in development and being released in the future. Speed Racer, Voltron, and now Robotech just to name a few. It seems studios are noticing how popular the genre has become lately. With that, and the newly found interest in Dragonball Z, things are looking good for the property. I truly believe that it is really going to happen this time. Still awaiting that official announcement from Fox, but I don’t think it will be too long away. Although, one can argue tha we did get an official announcement. It just happened to be 5 years ago.

Keep checking back for more updates!
