More Chow In Dragonball, And Marsters Blurbs

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

A fan site for Chow Yun-Fat has a few more comments from the actor about Dragonball, though they didn’t list a source for their information.

Yesterday [Chow Yun-Fat] has confirmed that 20th Century Fox executives have contacted him. He expressed that DRAGONBALL was a great opportunity and honestly said that he has never played a Japanese manga character. He has only heard about DRAGONBALL many times but has not made any in depth study. After the film company contacted him, he started to read the manga and felt that the role had a lot of possibilities. Although he was not the lead in the manga, he did not mind as long as the role had potential. [Chow] honestly said that after several decades of acting, now he would only accept roles with room to demonstrate his abilities. After confirmation next January he would head to Mexico for location shoots and stay until mid March.

UPDATE:
Didn’t think it was worth a new post, but since it falls into the same category as this post, I’ll just put it here.

Anyways, on James Marsters official fan site he mentioned Dragonball quickly in one of his Q&A’s.

Emmy Rossum Talks Bulma

Monday, December 24th, 2007

I guess I jumped the gun when I said we wouldn’t be getting any news due to the holiday. While this isn’t anything huge, it is still worth a mention. Emmy Rossum (Bulma) spoke briefly about her character on her Myspace blog.

Sorry I’ve been rather quiet for a bit, I’ve been working on a very exciting new film that I’m shooting outside the US. I’m working with the great Chow Yun Fat and I’m very excited about the role, which is so different than any role I’ve ever played. I love the character and I’m excited to get to share something so fun with you. In prep for the film I’ve been training very hard, learning how to fight, fire a gun, weapons training and even some martial arts. It’s fun to play such a different character when I am such a pacifist in real life. Speaking of pacifisim and peace, I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy holiday and New Year.

How awesome does that sound?
