Cafe FX
IMDB made a (small) update on the Dragonball crew and revealed yet another Visual Effects house working on the film. We already know that Zoic and Hybride have been working on Dragonball, and now CAFE FX can be added to that list.
According to IMDB, Alp Altiner is the Visual FX art director for Cafe FX. Altiner has previously worked on X-Men: The Last Stand, Superman Returns, 300 and Speed Racer.

Yay for updates! I got so excited… but at least it’s something
June 7th, 2008 at 12:37 am
looks like we shouldn’t be disappointed in the CGI! Just checked the site.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:00 am
Eh, it’s something!
June 7th, 2008 at 1:01 am
Wow a lot of big movie franchises in there….
June 7th, 2008 at 1:15 am
ahh wtf…thats not even worth putting up…
June 7th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Forgive me for not posting a brand new trailer once every day until the movie comes out.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Show some respect. It’s worth putting up because at this point anything is worth putting up.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:21 am
I agree with the Piccolo guy who made a comment at 1:00 am
“Eh, It’s something!”
Im happy to know the visual effects is going to be good, but
Come on Fox bring on the real news
We need pics
We need images
We need James Marsters!!
June 7th, 2008 at 1:27 am
lol I have to admit
I like the New JP alot!!!! The new JP is funny as heck….
The old JP was sad and lonely.
The new JP doesn’t give a care. The new JP is starting to remind me of someone very familiar. I’ll give you a hint!! His name is Emperor Adam
Hey JP did you find out if that pic was real?
June 7th, 2008 at 1:52 am
JP like Adam? Yeah, only JP has a life, personality and can get laid.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:59 am
Er… thanks?
June 7th, 2008 at 2:12 am
Ok?? What’s more important to me
Someone getting laid and not giving me any news or someone on the computer all day long and always on top of the latest Dragonball news…. hmmmm Im gonna go with the nerd on this one Anonymous!!
June 7th, 2008 at 2:20 am
Er….. thanks?
June 7th, 2008 at 2:22 am
How do you know Emperor Adam doesn’t get laid? I heard he gets laid all time by androids. Isn’t that right boss? Hey don’t knock it until your tried it. There’s plenty of satisfy customers! Just ask Krillin
Hey JP you should see Adam’s new girlfriend!! She’s freakin’ hot!!!! Check her out….
http://static.flickr.com/32/44913231_06be2b84af.jpg
Isn’t she hot!! Oh yessssssssssssss
June 7th, 2008 at 2:25 am
Corey Wilson, thanks for wearing a bandanna.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:26 am
its kind of hard to imagine fox not highly dependding on this film to be success hearing wat kind of people are working on it. I can’t wait for jus a taste of wat kind of movie this will be, it don’t even have to be a trailer jus a picture that shows the type tone there leading towards. Will it be some giant eye candy like speed racer or will it be the subtle unique atmosphere of 300.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:27 am
And thanks for staying Anonymous
June 7th, 2008 at 2:28 am
“Emperor” Adam?
June 7th, 2008 at 2:29 am
“Will it be some giant eye candy like speed racer or will it be the subtle unique atmosphere of 300.”
I hope for more of 300.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:34 am
Man it seems like they gettin’ everybody but Lucas in this film, FX wise.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:35 am
So, wait, would that make you an Android, Corey?
June 7th, 2008 at 2:36 am
Oh my god, DRAGONBALL i can’t believe it
jp has posted
the world is now filled with joy
on the world the joy is dragonball
i bet chatwin’s watching! CHATTY! YO CHATTY! YOU ROCK
June 7th, 2008 at 2:38 am
lol ha, ha I agree J-Syn
The special effects should be amazing!! I agree with JP…. I hope for more 300
June 7th, 2008 at 2:41 am
Dude you spelled my name totally wrong!! I don’t act like that either. 1st of all I don’t use the lords name in vain. 2nd if your gonna make fun of me do it with style
June 7th, 2008 at 2:48 am
I am Corey Wilsone. You are Corey Wilson.
I came first!! You are a poser!!
I love Jesus and Dragonball.
What came first the chicken or the egg?
It was scrambled!! Hey!!!!
And I have style look who’s talking??
June 7th, 2008 at 2:54 am
No im the real Wilsone!
June 7th, 2008 at 2:56 am
lol ha, ha, ha, ha I got to admit!! That is the funniest thing I heard all day…. YOu kind of remind me of Oolong!
June 7th, 2008 at 3:00 am
Woah. Wilson and Wilsone. Is Corey Wilsone Corey Wilson’s french cousin???
June 7th, 2008 at 3:09 am
Look at my gravatar I am not afraid to show my mouth!!
Only fools hide behind their bandannas
I embrace my jaw for what it is!!!! Holla!!
Emperor Adam likes it to maybe you should take an example from my page Corey Wilson.
June 7th, 2008 at 5:15 am
Hey JP or Bamfer could you remove this person’s name or avatar? Please!!
June 7th, 2008 at 5:58 am
haha this is so funny. you’ve got an imposter
and its good to know that visual effects is gonna be sikkk!!!!
June 7th, 2008 at 8:45 am
I agree corey the avatar needs to go, shes ugly as hell
June 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
I find it interesting that so many visual effect teams are working on this particualar project, dragonball. this mean that the 100 million buget (imdb) is mostly being used on effects not the big name actors. this will make the movie all the more pleasing to watch.
June 7th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I think this is very good news, The images turned out to be semi good, but we all know that the special affects will blow us away. Each of these movies have What Dragonball has for example X-men-Energy attacks, Superman-Flight, 300-Outstanding scenery, etc. I look even more forward to this movie now that I have an idea on how the Special effects will look. Also means it will most likly “NOT” be released to DVD first.
June 7th, 2008 at 11:33 am
I know it wouldn’t happen but for those of you who saw speed racer you might agree. I hope this movie is EXACTLY LIKE SPEEDRACER!! that movie was a manga translated perfectly on to the screen! They didn’t cut any characters they weren’t afraid to use the exact plot from the show and they kept all the comedy and cheese and it was BRILLIANT!! I know it’s to late now based on what we’ve seen and now we know this movies going for a more serious approach and I’m still super stoked to see it… but a teen can dream right?
June 7th, 2008 at 11:39 am
been slow lately ehh?
June 7th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Ahah. If the chi and the dragon are anything at all like Speed Racer, we’re gonna have some seizures on our hands. XD Cripes. I about got a cavity watching it on my computer, I can’t imagine what it was like on the big screen. Personally I am hoping for a good mix of 300/Speed effects. Not too many crazy colors, but enough of them to be effective.
PLUS I HAVE TO USE THIS PICCOLO EMOTICON. It’s so cute. I adore it.
June 7th, 2008 at 11:53 am
hilarious
June 7th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Great News!!!
June 7th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Leave Corey alone! Im glad theres people who are uber excited about this movie! I am too! And I think I know some others who would agree with me!
: Corey is awesome watch my movie when it comes out!
: I am the Prince of all Sai…ahh screw it Corey pwns me!
June 7th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
June 7th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
JP I would like those comments to be removed please!! I didn’t come here to talk about me I came here to talk about the upcoming “Dragonball” movie!!!! I think it’s funny how you remove your comments every time someone makes fun of you, but then when a fan is in need of help you don’t pay any attention. You know that person is breaking all the private policy rules of gravatar and wordpress and is stalking the heck out of me. Still you do nothing about it!!
June 7th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Uh, he or she isn’t flaming anyone or causing trouble so there isn’t much I can do. As for the gravatar.. well, if all your pictures are on myspace then they’re pretty much public domain.
I’m really getting tired of you coming in here and putting my site down when I have never done anything to you.
June 7th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
So that’s how you treat your fans JP?
If it’s this easy to get your identity stolen then I feel sorry for everyone in here.
1st of all I been a fan of yours since the begining. I love coming to this site, but if you don’t want me here then I will leave. I never in no way put your site down so don’t go there. Your just mad because I said I like Adams site alot. I like your site too, but if it satisfy you to keep that person up there so be it. I given your site recognition as well as many other frequent users on this site. So how could you say something like that??
June 7th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
How was your identity stolen? Everyone knows who you are. . .
June 7th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
“I never in no way put your site down so don’t go there. ”
Yes … you do. All the time. Heck, your second comment on this post you called me ’sad and lonely’.
June 7th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
cory seems… really creepy to me
June 7th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Your wrong!!!! Everyone doesn’t know who I am. There are new people that come to your site everyday you know.
And I apologize if I offended you, but how is me calling you sad and lonely have to do with anything on your site JP? You had people say worse stuff about you on this site. So why you getting on me about that??
So what is this Payback????
June 7th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
Why thank you Nimbus!! Alot of people say I remind them of Cell in his first form.
Anyways, Im going to be the bigger namekian and say im sorry JP.
Can we talk about Dragonball now?? We fighting like we married or something….
Anyways im sorry JP if you felt that I offended you in anyway. Your cool!
Now bring on the Dragonball news

June 7th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
I hope they dont do the thing where they do a slowmo everytime someone throws a fist :D…
June 7th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
dude JP has a point.myspace is PUBLIC and if u dont want ppl to know who u are then just go as anonymous.or better yet dont leave a comment AT ALL if u dont wanna be “stalked” or ur identity “stolen”.and seriously to that guy who keeps posing as ppl ur not funny.just cause u try to be like the cast and all these other stars doesnt mean ur “cool”.wow a lot of ppl on this site r a little weird.
June 7th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Keep up the excellent work JP. I think they’ll be new news soon…
June 7th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I never said I didn’t want people to know who I am so what are talking about. I came here to discuss Dragonball. I understand if people use my pics and stuff, that’s cool!! I just don’t want them abusing it. Some people take it to far as emailing you and coming to your house. I have the right to be upset!! I don’t want people abusing my signature and telling everyone there me. He broke the policy rules on gravatar and myspace. If you read the private policy rules you would know that. I copyright alot of my stuff and I don’t want it to get in the wrong hands just like Fox doesn’t want there pics to get in the wrong hands.
June 7th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
I see that Jp is not going to take those comments down so I will not come here anymore if it makes everyone happy!!
If he wants imposters to be on his site then so be it…. Anyways im out!! love and peace
June 7th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Corey, seriously, no one cares. We don’t come here to talk about you, nor do we come here to discuss JP’s personal life, nor do we feel the need to take sides in a petty Dragonball blog rivalry… We are here for Dragonball. That’s it. If you only intend on coming to this blog, where JP works his ass off to bring us news, to simply cause drama, then maybe you should consider leaving. You really don’t bring much to the discussion anyway.
June 7th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Cory… Just chill, man. No one’s flaming you. Stop being so defensive. No one really owes you anything, so it’s not anyone’s fault but the person who did it. It’s not even that big of a deal. You just made it into one. The LAST person to blame here is JP. He’s the site admin, not your virtual mommy. Defend yourself, and if you can’t do that, leave. I really don’t mean to offend anyone here but the immaturity level really got out of hand.http://http://www.dragonballmovieblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gifwww.dragonballmovieblog.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif
June 7th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
erm… okay… Thanks for working for me, Smilies. haha

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Thank you.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
haha. I don’t mean to flame, but seriously… Get a life. Do you have nothing better to do than blatantly steal people’s names and then act like you’re them when it’s obviously not that person’s style of writing? It doesn’t offend me, it just makes me ponder your intelligence.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
THE INTERNET IS PUBLIC DOMAIN!! ONCE YOU PUT SOMETHING ON IT (weather you write the words copyright or the little symbol for it or not) ITS NOT YOUR ANYMORE!
June 7th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
I bet you “andthenSHEsaid” was corey just being pissed off
June 7th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
lol. Good point, but I never really bitched about the person taking my name. I don’t care. I just find it really dumb that someone’s just copying other people to post stupid things. Can we get back on topic here, or are we just going to slam everything that anyone says? Let me see if I can do get us back to the original subject.
Great news. I really wonder if they’re going for Speed Racer-type visuals, seeing that Marsters said it would be very “visually exciting” in one interview. I’d be a bit scared if they did plan on doing it like that…
June 7th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
“Great news. I really wonder if they’re going for Speed Racer-type visuals, seeing that Marsters said it would be very “visually exciting” in one interview. I’d be a bit scared if they did plan on doing it like that…”
While I doubt they’d go for it, the Speed Racer visuals were rather stunning.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I’d have to appose, I think that’d be awesome, Speed Racer the Movie did so much justice to the show!
June 7th, 2008 at 8:17 pm
not that I didn’t enjoy them, but with the bad rep that Speed Racer got, I guarentee it’d be another “OMG THIS MOVIE’S GONNA BLOW JUST LYKE SPEED RACERZ” deal. The only reason I don’t think it’d work for Dragonball is because of the insanely foreign world that dragonball is in. I’d much rather have the realistic approach than a half-cartoon version that stuck directly to the original. That’s what I’ve been waiting 6 years for. That’s exactly what I want to see. Other people’s opinions may vary. I’m just saying what I want to see.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Point taken.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
since there’s not going to be any more replies to this for a while, I’m going to take the liberty of claiming the 69th post.
Immature? Maybe just a bit.
Worth it? Without a doubt.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
hahahahaha well then I call 70th!
June 7th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I Hope the the special effects that they do use does not make look like Speed racer because then it will be goofy and PG. I want this movie to be rated at least PG-13. R would be the best.
Of topic
JP what do we think the rating for this movie is?
June 7th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
PG-13
I’m almost certain.
June 7th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Seeing that I’m still logged in and I hardly ever post even though I’m always tempted, I feel the need to keep responding.
If it’s not PG-13, I’ll physically cut off my right hand and ship it to you. You may say I’m really certain, I say I’m just bored of having hands.
June 7th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
I hope they dont do the thing where they do a slowmo everytime someone throws a fist :D…

What do you guys think the critics will say? Or is that too early to ask?
June 8th, 2008 at 12:25 am
1) You guys are making me want to see Speed Racer…I wonder if it’s still in the theaters.
2) It looks the special effects are going to be awesome, in any case. Yay!!
3) I’m thinking PG-13 too.
4) This thread has a lot of…spam in it. About some guy I don’t care about. I’m interested in DB! No offense anybody.
June 8th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Haha…I wouldn’t mind the slow motion punch…one time only. And if they’re spinning around at the same time, as in The Matrix. But it’s definitely overdone at this point!
What will the critics say…? I’m hoping it gets amazing reviews like Iron Man, because that means it’s an incredible film- for fans and non fans alike!
One can hope!
June 8th, 2008 at 1:03 am
Speed Racer Rocked it was really good. I have to say go see it for your selves and to not listen to the Critics Because they are the only ones who say its bad pretty much. Because everyone i have talked to that has seen it has said “Oh the movie was really good.” and the other are like “meh its ok” but the only ones that dont like it are the Critics. So i say go and see it for your self and make youtr own choice
June 8th, 2008 at 4:40 am
Corey is kind of strange, but a very positive and seemingly nice guy. I want to hate him, but I cant. There may be some child locked in his basement, but from what I see he seems ok. Still too enthusiastic, and shouldnt post so much. Nobody should post that much. Thats some good life advice brother, I dont mean any harm. JP is too sensitive. I come here all the time and enjoy your site, but youre whiny like a girl. Tone it down a bit, man. Youre way too defensive which gives people more firepower. Learn how to take an attack. Let it go. Youre doing a good job, but you have this whiny attitude in your writing. Now corey is whiny, people are talking about it, and its not interesting. Relax everyone. Though all this is more interesting than the latest news. Not an attack on you JP, keep posting everything.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:02 am
^ Why post that?? Corey’s gone for the moment so just dont bother talking about it, stupid comment. No need to bring back an argument that happened 50 posts ago.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:25 am
i’m getin da feelin will smith’s new film(Hancock) has dragonball chills and influence written on it… who thinks the same
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 am
Check this out guys:
http://dragonsoul2.blogspot.com/
Agree?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Yeah Dragonball and superman.
June 8th, 2008 at 11:49 am
yeah corey never brings anything to the table..his comments are all…..WHOOO!! Evon Kirkskey WOOO!! Go Chatwin I love emporer adam WHOOO!! Ive come to this site for far too long to read crap like what was said at the beginning of this blog. Im just glad JP finally said something to him… i promise corey will still come to this site haha i visit Adam’s site too and i hope i dont get shit from corey there cuz i know hes going to read this. Never seen someone get that upset o a blog lol.
June 8th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
yo, ive made a new poster.. chek it out..

June 8th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I think it may be too early to really state any kind of comment about this movie…wether its gonna suck or rock…we’ve seen a few pics…thats it…not enough to make any kind of judgement on. Id like to say its gonna rock but look at Water World…like 220 million dollar movie that bombed like hell. Im just waiting for the teaser. This will give us more of a hint on the movies tone. But there is one thing most of us can agree on…THEY MADE THE MOVIE!
June 8th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

June 8th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
anybody remember the final battle in junior saga insanely violent, goku had a hole blasted ppl assume dragonballs a kid show but the original material really wasnt, tho show should be made based on akira toyrimas vision not funimatyion editing crap
June 8th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
Nah, go for it! blog wars. I like a little tension, keeps you on your toes during these boring times before the big news comes, trailers etc. And I think it’s interesting how chatwin compares Goku to Luke Skywalker; indirectly comparing himself to the great Mark Hamill and this movie to the original star wars. Goku’s more like Rocky Balboa meets superman to me, but his comparison’s still legit because Goku’s also mentored by a wise old hermit and teams up with characters similar to han and leia, and he’s also a simple good natured hero. I hope they don’t draw too much from star wars though since Dragon Ball’s very different, more focused on a mix of comedy and intense action than politics and family ties although that comes along in the saiyan and frieza sagas. Damn I know way too much about this stuff.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Corey…….u talk to much…just ignore them and go on with ur life, stop acting like a child and complain…and jp u shouldnt worry about ur site its doing great and thanks for the update ^_^
June 8th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
LOL sorry i mean complaining***** =p
