Loading ...James At ‘The Rift’ Convention: There Will Be Blasts
James Marsters was at this weekends ‘Rift’ convention and of course divulged some info about Dragonball. Thanks to Craigdbfan for spotting this!
“PS I Love You - thinks he was boring. He went along planning to be a good boy, and it ended up boring. Has decided now he’s actually hired to be an arsehole. To make his character interesting. So with this new attitude on, he got hired to do Dragonball Z.
They started off with this total age makeup for his character, really old and decrepit and stuff. Then they decided that wouldn’t be pretty enough to sell. But JM thought it was essential to his character. It was his character’s whole motivation. He got locked up for ages, he got old, when he got out and saw himself for the first time he decided to get even. So he went to the makeup artist with a picture of the original old guy test makeup and told him to make it like that. Makeup artist said the producers were pretty sure, but JM said if the producers cared they’d be there. They weren’t even in the same country. So.He has a lot of stunt work in the new film. When asked what the difference was between TV and film he said for TV he had a stuntman. So for the film he’s getting thrown off things and blown up and kicked in the face. One time his character is getting shot at by another character, power blasts, and he ducks and it blows up the rock behind him. So they got set up to blow it up and JM asked, said the quicker he stands up the cooler it will be. So he ducks, they blow it up, he stands up right away when there’s still chunks flying. The camera people, taken somewhat by surprise, leap to do their jobs. One person gets hit by something, and JM still feels guilty about that. (Be asks who was running stunts and how is it possible an actor can mess up the timing/safety issues?) (… what country were they filming in?) But JM’s logic is his character isn’t bothered by some rock blowing up. He only has to dodge his enemies’ blasts. Rock isn’t a problem for the supervillain.”

Awesome. The fight scenes sound great, and James Marsters, as we’ve all known, is going to be fantastic.
April 28th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Sweetness! I’ve decided, I cannot wait till Dragon*Con ‘08 now!
If Marsters thought he was popular because of Buffy, etc before….wait till the DB fanbase gets ‘hold of him.

hey JP make a new topic sayin: Who’s your favourite Dragon Ball Z character?
cus i just wanna talk about Trunks loool!
and you should also make a new topic called:
Dont you just feel sad when you remember the good old days when Dragon Ball Z was all everyone talked about and those days when you’d never miss an episode and even watch the repeats and how we took dbz so seriously, even when goku died etc?
i just wanna talk about dem dayz mayyyn looool, fa real. I feel sad wen i really remember dem timez.
lol and make dis topic:
dont u feel the characters in dbz like worshiped Goku?
dat would be such a good wun cus every single time in dbz der like ‘goku will save us!’
‘nothings d same without goku!’
‘gokus d best!’
‘wen gokus here, nothings impossible’
and den like wen goku comes every1’s like
‘goku!’ and den dey start cryin and like rushin 2 his side
and den u know at d end of dbz wen majin buu was destroyed and everything, and dey had a dinner party at capsule corp, he went to save eggs and every1 was like
‘its not the same without goku!’
and den wen he came
dey were all crowdin round him (apart from vegeta of course) askin him all sorts of questions about the eggs!
lol i love Goku, but i just feel everyone worships him in the program like hes der life support (well he kind of is, since hes always savin dem) but yh its so funny wen i just watch it! lol buh still i love goku so it dont matter! but dats a good topic!

May 5th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I hope noone get seriously hurt in the production and hopefully Marsters first piccolo dies in the same way, the old piccolo died in the Series, as that was actually pretty hard.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:57 am
I never got into buffy cuz I liked the traditional movie starring Donald Sutherland and I didnt like the way the vamps looked, But this James Masters guy… He sounds like he really knows his $H!T. And he actually did some research on his character Piccalo. If not for the story line, character or special effects, Im definetly going to see Dragon Ball for James Masters role as Piccalo.
But why could’nt they just stick to the story and give bulma her blue hair. If the producers and directors would just stick to the “Origonal” story, They’d make some fat cash from all the DBZ fans all ’round the world. Christ I cant wait for this movie!!!
