Actress Eriko Tamura (Mai) has been blogging about Dragonball on her official website. Though I am unable to get a better translation, she talks about various things like living in Mexico, training, and wearing special costumes for the film.

Read all about it (if you can read Japanese) at Eriko’s blog.

Happy 2008! There are a lot of new movies (and, therefore, a lot of new toys) that we’re looking forward to this year. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Dark Knight (the latest in the Batman franchise), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Star Trek, Dragonball, WALL-E and, of course, High School Musical 3 are all on the list. And, even though it doesn’t come out until 2009, you can get Halo 3 action figures this year (they get officially released in March.) Keep checking back for more info about toys inspired by the Big Screen. — ECM

Another interesting article with quotes from the production staff here.

With regard to the characteristics of the locations, Gutierrez Barraza emphasized that these are strange landscapes, “but not rare.” “They are landscapes that are not easy, but in Durango we have several of these, such as Laguna Seca in Santiaguillo, which is a space as if the world were starting or had already been finished,” explained the director of the state agency.

Also abounded that the locations are not common environments, since the nature of the film places unusual demands and Durango at its wealth Geographic enjoys an extended range.

“Producers arrive until next week in the area of post-production,” said the interviewer, while he said that although the dates for casting and “finished”, they will continue on a permanent basis.

There were approximately 700 thousand people who auditioned, but will be about a thousand that will participate in this production.

“There are scenes in which involved up to 500 extras at once,” said Sergio Gutierrez.

Hopefully one of our readers can better translate.
