Loading ...DBMB Exclusive: Jose Fernandez on Dragonball
Ironhead Studios, one of the film industry’s leading effects shops, has added Dragonball to its already stellar resume of projects, which includes the likes of Batman Returns, X2: X-Men United, and Hellboy. DBMB had the opportunity to interview the founder of Ironhead Studios (Jose Fernandez) about the incredible work he has done in the past and, of course, on the upcoming 2009 FOX release Dragonball.
DBMB: What is it that draws you to comic book movies?
Jose Fernandez: Like anybody, my career has been a combination of planning and happy accidents. I think what draws me to comic book movies the most, is the freedom of creative expression that somebody like myself is allowed. It’s extremely satisfying to be able to bring your childhood heroes to life. That said, one movie leads to the other…DBMB: Reading your Endorsements you seem to get plenty praise from the people you work with. How would you describe your work ethic compared to other people in the business?
JF: I’m not sure that I can speak to the work ethic of others, but for me, it’s never just a job. Whatever is in front of me is extremely important. Every character carries my name and reputation with it.DBMB: In what ways do you try to make each new project different and exciting then the last?
JF: I don’t need to do anything. Each project brings it’s own unique challenges, which means that every new movie is exciting in it’s own way.DBMB: In what ways do you try to exceed your past work?
JF: I’m not sure that I do. Years of experience, means that, hopefully , every new project benefits from the lessons learned in the last one. This inertia guarantees that every character gets a little better. Also, my work is never done in a pristine vacuum. Every project has it’s own budget and time constraints which directly effect what gets done. I’m rarely allowed the luxury of competing with myself.DBMB: What other movies inspire you?
JF: Personally, I’m inspired by smaller character driven films and music documentaries. Professionally (and personally) I’m inspired by the genre films of the 80’s. Alien, Blade Runner and, of course the original Star Wars trilogy. Movies that are epic, but have a strong sense of reality, due in large part, to exemplary practical effects.DBMB: How did you get involved with Dragonball? Was there some sort of “auditioning” process or where you approached by Fox/James Wong?
JF: I was approached by Fox. I”ve done a handful of films for them, so we have a bit of a relationship.DBMB: What characters did you work on in this film?
In the early design phase I worked on almost, if not every character. After the initial drawings, the director and studio chose what they did and didn’t want to use. As far as final design and fabrication, I was responsible for Piccolo’s full costume and armor, everything except for his makeup, which ADI was responsible for. I also assisted Mayes Rubeo with realizing Goku’s costume and gi.DBMB: What was it like working with the cast and crew?
Other than James Marsters, I had little contact with the cast. I was only on set for a couple of days to make sure that the costumes were maintained, and looked the best they could on film.DBMB: What was James Wong like as a director?
JF: I didn’t have the pleasure of working with James in depth. We met in a few preliminary meetings and e-mailed a few times. He seemed very focused and open to creative ideas.DBMB: What was James Wong looking for in terms of character design?
JF: Well, James seemed to have a healthy respect for the source material. He wanted to create a memorable world that satisfied fans, but also was grounded in reality.DBMB: How do you expect post-production to effect the look of certain characters? In what ways do you hope it will?
JF: I can only hope that the post-production work enhances the film. My favorite effects are the ones that seamlessly blend the practical and digital worlds. One world should enhance the other. Believability is always key.DBMB: Were you familiar with the source material when you joined the project? If not, did you consult the original material for inspiration?
JF: I was not at the time, but there were those around me that were. That said, I immediately immersed myself in the world. Hopefully the fans are pleased.DBMB: In terms of the styling of the characters you worked on for this film, what were some of the details that James Wong had requested you include?
JF: I specifically remember our conversations concerning Goku. James wanted to make sure that he wasn’t too tailored. He wanted Goku to feel like a timeless warrior. A combination of the new and old. Rather than come out of a superhero factory, Goku pieced together his costume from various sources that were important to him.DBMB: What was the most challenging part of Dragonball?
The biggest challenge for me specifically were budget and time constraints. I’m always pleasantly surprised with what can be done in a limited amount of time. I look forward to those challenges. They force you to be a problem solver.DBMB: What directors would you like to work with that you haven’t worked with already?
JF: The new vanguard. Zack Snyder, Jon Favreau, Christopher Nolan…. I’m not sure in what capacity he could use me, but I’m a huge fan of Bryan Bird. For me, that guy can do no wrong.DBMB: And of course I must ask, who is your favorite Dragonball character and why?
JF: I’m a fan of Yamcha. He reminds me of Han Solo. I’ve always been partial to the “loveable rogue” character. They have the most interesting arcs.
We’d once again like to thank Jose Fernandez for being gracious enough to talk to us!

Hmm…Interesting. Sounds good to me. They’re trying hard to keep as much of the original world there as possible, it seems.
July 9th, 2008 at 12:25 am
FIRST AGAIN! I spot a typo! When he said Gi, they spelled it gei. just to point that out.
Also, he seems pretty cool. I can’t wait for this movie.

Nothing huge but still, pretty interesting stuff!!
July 9th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Awesome. Great interview.

July 9th, 2008 at 1:56 am
Hmm interesting I liked what I heard about Goku’s costume. Steven B no DB at comic con that sucks
July 9th, 2008 at 2:04 am
Kinda stupid questions…
July 9th, 2008 at 2:09 am
Just curious.. what would have asked him that he would have been contractually obligated to answer?
July 9th, 2008 at 2:11 am
I was just going to ask Jeff the same thing!
July 9th, 2008 at 2:20 am
lol. Jeff, I’m going to have to agree with that one. I’m trying to get an interview with Joon Park through myspace.

July 9th, 2008 at 4:29 am
He said he had problems with the budget? Wasn’t the Budget for this confirmed as over 100 million dollars? that seems pretty high to me. (higher than the first two x men movies IIRC)
July 9th, 2008 at 6:21 am
nice interview, please hurry now with a trailer or some piccolo pics
July 9th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Come on JP. More exclusives!
July 9th, 2008 at 6:47 am
hey
July 9th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Most of the budget will probably be post-production.
For some realistic Kamehamehas YEAH!
July 9th, 2008 at 7:41 am
i like
again, so much positive things to say people XD slowly but surely people are cutting down on the bashing because they are starting to realise this movie is going to be good. Hell yeah, bring on Piccolo and the trailer 
July 9th, 2008 at 8:25 am
why does he like yamcha? yamcha is a dong!
July 9th, 2008 at 9:30 am
” Goku pieced together his costume from various sources that were important to him.”
So lets see, he takes the blue shirt from Gohan and pants from gohan and the outer shirt from Roshi? Yeah that sounds right. I always wondered why he added a blue shirt later when he fought Ma Junior
July 9th, 2008 at 11:42 am
From what i’v seen so far, the costumes r great.Ma Junior’s is uniqe and Goku’s is sticking to Japanes culture :mrgreen:.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:48 am
But we gota see some more pics of Ma Junior
July 9th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
@ JP “what would have asked him that he would have been contractually obligated to answer?”
8O…..
July 9th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
i hope picollo’s armor looks ok, picollo doesn’t have that in the series, sound a bit pussy acctualy, picollo with armor
July 9th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
July 9th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

July 9th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Jeff, you are so wrong.
80 is not a good number, dammit!
23!!!!!! TWENTY-THREE!!! AAAAAAAAAAGH!
(An obvious joke on the movie The Number 23.)
April 10, 2009
July 9th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Yeah, budget constraints as in his portion… The movie might be 100 million, but that doesn’t meant that each segment of production has a large budget…
Unless you are the Wachowski brothers (or… siblings… i guess one is no longer a… brother) and want to build a one and a half mile highway loop so you can film a bunch of cars being destroyed…
July 9th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
glad that theres so many good news now but i wish we could see a pic of
i wanted to see what he looks like ever since may i really want to see i hope if this movie rocks they we show a new db series like af that would be so cool and one more thing even thought im a girl i have watched Dragon ball z/gf since i was 6 im 17 now and i will still love dbz tell this day^^
July 9th, 2008 at 2:27 pm
hey hinata and i really hope that this movie go’s will and i hope that there will be a new show for db too if this movie gos will i would love to now who would play vegeta in the next movie
vs 
i would love to see that fight in the movies. dbz is one of the greatist action cartoons of all time there no other show like it but i think the show should have ended with the frieza saga its a real epic bettle that should have ended there not saying the other sagas where not cool i love the cell saga the most really but i think it should have ended there. as for you hates out there that think this movie will suck fuck you you shouldnt doge things so eazy wait tell it comes out first then doge on how it is im so suck of you guys saying im a real dbz fan fuck you no your not if you where you see for your self how it is first.
July 9th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
darkchild, no offense, but there is a key on your keyboard with a dot and an arrow, it’s called the period key. Not trying to be rude, just puuting it out there.
April 10, 2009
July 9th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
i already know that there something wroung with it ok sorry man didnt have to call me out like that damn
July 9th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
And yeah NOT all of those questions were good!
July 9th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Yeah Piccolo with armor is a bit lame, but I feel they can pull it off I guess.
July 9th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I dream of JP every night
July 9th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Boomer SL: Goku added the blue shirt when he fought Ma Junior because Kami made him wear it. It was an extremely heavy shirt he used to train in (which quickened the rate of him getting stronger and faster-kind of like when Master Roshi made Goku and Krillin wear the super-heavy turtle shell during their training with him). Kami also made Yamcha, Tien, Krillen, and Choutzu wear it when they were training for the saiyans.
July 9th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Kame/Boomer SL: also it is like on King kai’s planet with the gravity so high, and that just became his look which is a good look

@ Tasunara
80 is 8 + 0 witch = 8 which is the age when my grandmother died!
July 9th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Also the 8 0 is this
I just added a couple of periods at the end and it screwed it up.
July 9th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
i have tremondous faith in this film!i doubt it’ll dissapoint anyone.but we need a tailor dammit!!!or a glimpse of piccolo!come on a back view would do at this moment
July 9th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Sorry, darkchild. I can be a bit of a stickler about grammar, so I apologize.
@Jeff
You spelled which witch. WITCH! GAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
23 = 2+3 which equals 5 which is how many times I posted on this page prior to this post.
80 = 8/2+0 = 4 which is how old I was when DBZ came to USA, almost 12 years ago!

I can’t wait for this movie!! Ironhead did an excellent job on all three of those franchises so I have high hopes for this movie’s costumes.
P.S. I added this site to my links page. It is the only site I go to for news on the movie.

i reckon this movie is gonna be one of those INFLUENCEL movies, like matrix or something. Like other movies are jus gonna do stuff being influenced off dragonball!!!!!!!
July 10th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
John, that would be hilarious if they did that. I know it’s goin to develop a cult following already like Super Mario Bros, which wasn’t all that bad for an almost impossible franchize to adapt. Granted, it wasn’t that good, but it wasn’t that bad.
Then for some reason I got thnking: What if Jack Black played Mario?
That would be so wierd.

Hey … so much bullshit going on here … please be serious people OK
I was wondering if in 2 Weeks we get new posters or even the Teaser Trailer from Dragonball !!! Why ? because of the San Diego Comic Con that is going to be than !!! It would be so cool if 20th Century Fox is going to have a Panel there to …. I know that Hasbro is haveing one, and they are going to show fotage from the new Transformers Movie, also they want to show Film Sequenzes from GI Joe !! …. I dont mind that movies .. but i would love to see something really cool from DRAGONBALL .. like SEEING PICCOLO FINALY !!! or the Trailer …. may be we will see something … its a shame … Transformers will come out in August 2009 and they are showing already Movie stuff there …. come one … I want a Teaser at least from a Movie that is going to come out in 9 Month !!! is that to much to ask ? if Fox doesnt start the Promotion soon .. the Movie is gonna fail … because it didnt get enough attention …. being DRAGONBALL is in the USA not enough … in Germany also … - Ok of course not in Japan and in Latin Countrys … because the DB HYPE was soooo much bigger there …. but still … i am worring …. what do you guys think ???
Greetings from Germany
July 10th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
No matter the hype, the movie is not going to blow anything away box office wise. It’s just because of the fan base. DB has a large fan base that will show up, but it’s not something that people who aren’t already fans will be drawn to as quickly.
I think the second and third movies have a good shot as long as this one does well, but the general public needs proof that it’s worth seeing first.
July 10th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
The actor and stuff are all very excited about it, and they are realing trying to make this thing as good as it possibly can. i think they are making this work
July 10th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Hello! Personally I fully agree with recent comments.

first of all who ever said tico is gay needs to shut up and get a life and nevt there should be at least one good up date where they show all the fans that really are hoping the file will be good to say lil bit of things about the movie this is good new but i wish we could at least here from the other actors and tell us what they think of it so far thats all im saying
vs 
July 11th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
HEY! darkchild stole my thing!
Just kidding.
I think that everyone needs to calm down, this site was meant to spread news about the Dragonball movie, but I don’t think it was made to bash on anyone at any time.
I understand that everyone has a right to their own opinion, but that doesn’t mean that everyone has a right to voice their opinion.
And I know this is off topic, but what the hell is the point of going on a site dedicated to a movie if all you’re going to do is bash it everytime a new post goes up?
Just putting that out there, give you something to think about.

“No matter the hype, the movie is not going to blow anything away box office wise. It’s just because of the fan base. DB has a large fan base that will show up, but it’s not something that people who aren’t already fans will be drawn to as quickly.”
5aucy, is that not what they said about Transformers? It did so well in the box office that EVERYONE saw it.
Sin City was the kind of movie where you’d think only fans would watch it, but tons of people saw that, too.
V for Vendetta was still that kind of movie where you would generally only go watch it based on wether or not you’ve read the graphic novel. I know all of my friends have seen it, all of my classmates have seen it, so why would Dragonball do terribly?
April 10, 2009
July 11th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Transformers was popular because of the music (Linkin Park, Smashing Pumpkins, Disturbed, etc) and product placement (Hummer, Chevy, Mountain Dew, Nokia…)
It was designed around popular culture. transformers also is easier to adapt towards a non fan base. If you look at dragonball, there are a lot of people who *hate* it. Sin City had Quentin Tarentino, plus a great cast and revolutionary imaging, and V for Vendetta was Wichowski Brothers.
Plenty of amazing movies have sucked in the box office. Cinderella Man was one of the best movies of all time, and made absolutely nothing.
It’s all about marketing and catering to a large consumer base (which it doesn’t look like DB is doing so great at yet)
I’ll be there for the midnight showing, but I don’t think I’ll be in the majority.
July 11th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
5aucy, Sin City had Robert Rodreguez. (If I spelled that right)
Dragonball is only hated because many people reguard it as a kid’s show, and whil V for Vendetta did have the Wachowski brothers, Speed Racer had the Wachoski Brothers as well, and it failed at the box office. It was still good, though. I do agree with you on Transformers.
I don’t think that Dragonball is going to fail at the box office because it has a bigger fanbase than it does when it comes to haters and critics. I know almost everyone has liked DBZ at one point, so they can’t say they won’t feel nostalgiac.
I’m sure if they are going so far as to make action figures for this movie it’s going to be pretty well marketed. That might just be me who thinks that, though. I know that the hype is enough to garner attention, and I bet anything that it will be at the top opening weekend, but we’ll just have to see.
April 10, 2009
July 11th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
I haven’t seen what it will be against when it opens, so I can’t vouch for that.
I’m sure it will do well comparatively (it won’t be beaten by some chick flick or something), but for example…
Mission impossible 3 (popular franchise, well made, well marketed movie, I thought it was good) was at the top of the box office opening weekend at around 30 mil. That was small.
yeah, it may take the top for that weekend… I’m just saying it doesn’t look like it will be a blow out like Spiderman or Iron Man or anything.
(And sin city was Rober Rodrequez, but Tarentino was a guest director, that’s what got it a lot of its hype)
July 11th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I haven’t seen what it was up against, and as far as I know, it isn’t up against anything, but I think it will blow out.
BTW Spiderman sucks.

July 11th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Yea i just got this from the news they said that dragonball is the most awaited movie in the world for 2009 it was from the hispanic news and tropic thunder is in # 2, But i think is not true but they did said it so awsome!!!!!!
July 11th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
the release was moved because it had to competed with J. Lucas’s Star Wars thing, so i dont think there will be much competion when they release dragonball, else why would they move it? to have more competition? dont think so
ps: the kamehameha was indeed gay, my cousin put it on with my account:lol: hehehe
July 11th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
You can be sure all things written or showed here, or in all ways, many informations,inclunding the creation of a Dragonball movie, are false
July 11th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Hey JP I think that http://blogs.hoycinema.com/movieland
has new photos of the fight…but I’m not really sure.
July 11th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
ggg, can I ask you something?
What the hell are you talking about?
April 10, 2009
July 11th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I’m just saying this but the dumbasses at super hero hype ar saying that this movie will end up like the mortal kombat movie.all suckish and just a joke. but the critics gave mortal kombat two thumbs up and positive reviews. Stupid people.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
You may want to reconsider the generalizations you make of the “dumbasses at super hero hype”.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I am the only person that actually liked the Mortal Kombat movie? People that protest movie keep using that as an example of what the movie will turn out like. I mean sure, if I watched it now it probably wouldn’t be that great effects-wise, but I loved that movie when it first came out. Now part two on the other hand, sucked.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Sorry, that should say “Am I” at the beginning.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
hey guys at this website there bashing the dragonball movie so if u want to give this the respect it needs to get go this website and give reasons why dragonball a chance. http://www.toplessrobot.com/2008/07/8_ways_theyre_going_to_fk_up_the_dragonball_movie.php

1. The Mortal Kombat movies where great unless you jump on the stupid bus pack full of people that live in their moms basement, eat Doritos and drink Mountain Dew, that only make further stupid comments like *in low manic retarded voice- but clearly trying to fake a proper vlice* “Thats movie was Bad, I do believe.” These ‘Critics’, if thats what you even consider them, think and make it their business to tell you what movies are dope and witch are not good, like they would know how to make a movie in the first place.
To make an argument short No one, Thats right I sad NO ONE has a idea of how a movie will turn out. You can make all the assumptions and opinions you want but it wont change the fact that this movie has not come out yet so some thoughts on the movie being bad are just…stupid. (except those that think this movie will be awesome which I whole heartedly agree with.)
2. I greatly disagree with you (Marvin). SuperHeroHype.com has given us plentiful news, speculation, tons of people who support the film, and to top it all off the entire board has some really good info on the movie and some time ago was where JP posted about the movie until he made an absolutely solid idea that he should start a site that would be the best to get the facts and news on the adaption. IMO only a few idiots seem to squeeze there way through the bullet proof forums over there as well as here at Dragon Ball Movie Blog.
3. ITS MY BIRTHDAY ON THE 15!! I WILL be 15! That means that I will have been watching DragonBall/Z for almost 10 whole years!
4. That was my rant for the day. I shall now go insane because my Budokai 3 disc snapped in two.

Okay, Jeff, #1, I was never a fan of Mortal Kombat in the first place, and in my opinion, the best Martial Arts movie I’ve seen yet is Forbidden Kingdom. It reminded me so much of Dragonball Z that in the theater whenever I watched them do something cool, I’d stand up and go “Kamehameha!” while the were doing it. lol. I’m kinda dumb when it comes to being in movie theaters, but the movie was great.
#2, Basically, you contradict your earlier point in saying that the movie will be great and that people should not judge how “crappy it it’s going to be.” I agree whole-heartedly with the fact that people should not make bad assumptions about it, but you are basically saying that you should make good assumptions of it.
@Everyone, It’s just a movie, we should all just go watch it and see how it goes. We haven’t even seen a trailor, and so far, it’s looking A LOT better than Mortal Kombat or The magic begins.

And in October, I will have been watching DBZ for 12 years!
Still, I realize that me and you are a lot alike, Jeff. I got EXTREMELY escited on my 14th birthday when I screamed, “I HAVE BEEN WATCHING DRAGONBALL FOR TEN YEARS NOW!!!!” Lol.
I’m bored.

“Transformers was popular because of the music…”
Ummm, since when has anyone ever said, “Man I have to see (insert movie here). The music in it is sooooo amazing!”
I don’t think Linkin Park is the reason ANYONE saw Transformers.

I know I contradicted myself but thats what it takes to get a point across. That was my logical side…and heres my normal side.

I love Link Park But I’m anything but Emo or dark. Hell my room compared to an Emo is gay.
The music was definitely not why I went to see Transformers. I went to go see the movie basically so I could see a glimpse of my brother (26 years old) on how he would like it, seeing as how he is a little fan of the series and he did grow up in the 80’s. I did want to see it for myself for just pure love of the 80’s pop culture.

To Tasunara:
I also realy enjoyed Forbidden Kingdom because it showed “Goku’s Staff” and the Monkey King. It helped to tide me over for the DB movie

@Anon:
I agree. When I saw the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, I was all, “Holy crap! It’s Goku!” So loud everyone in the theater could hear.

“I don’t think Linkin Park is the reason ANYONE saw Transformers.”
I would definitely agree. I definitely didn’t see it for that reason; however, if you would leave my comment in it’s full context as part of a whole, of which music was important.
Just like how nobody will see Dragon Ball because of Justin Chatwin (just google image him… done)
People will see it because of the whole case, together with the script, and music, and effects, etc.
