Jump SQ Set Report

Posted by The Original Bamfer | Cast, Chow Yun-Fat, Crew, Emmy Rossum, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Joon Park, Justin Chatwin | Sunday 13 July 2008 5:20 pm

DBTheMovie posted a translation of the set report featured (with the most recent set of scans) in Jump Square.

Justin Chatwin (Goku) appeared in front of them. Goku had blue eyes. The author of this manga (Akiba Zaijuu) felt Justin has a boyish nature, as well as Goku. He was wearing the blue gi, not orange. Justin said “My gi with Kame mark (orange gi) is still in the making. I’m looking forward to see how it will be made. I hope it will become what you all like.” The author remembered he saw and talk with Mayes Rubeo (costume designer) before. She said “I kept trying for the children of the little village I grew up won’t be disappointed with it. I made more than thirty prototypes for only Goku’s gi.” She seemed to be ambitious and having fun, so he felt she sure can make a good costume. And about Justin, his blue gi was cool, but not only the costume design, but his buffed up muscle enhanced his look. Because he has been training for seven months for Goku’s role. The author remembered Goku also have trained for eight months under Master Roshi when Goku was a child in the original. Coincidence?

When the Japanese magazine press interviewed Justin, suddenly the tank top man came into the room. He shouted “Omochi!(rice cake)” in Japanese. He tried to eat Kusa-dango of Asakusa Tokyo (it was souvenir from Japan) there but he accidentally dropped it on the ground and it got dirty with sand. But he didn’t care, he picked it up and ate it. He was a very wild man. The author wondered who he was.

Next Emmy Rossum’s interview. She said her active and cheerful character resembled Bulma. She’s a brilliant young actress and also a good singer. Bulma’s hair is not all blue, but have blue streaks. Make-up artist Mr. Gomez told us the reason that all blue hair is too strong as a live-action, so he was requested not to do that. So he proposed sixteen hairstyle and make-up designs which kept the image of the original, but they were all turned down. After that time he came up with the present hairstyle and make-up. Emmy said, “Did you look at the three-wheeled motorcycle? There are two same motorcycles and they promise I will get one of them after the filming. Other one may be gotten by someone here!” they asked her what her favorite Mexican food was and she said “Gorditas! I like Gorditas.”

Then they interviewed Joon Park, he was [the] wild tank top man before. He resembled an early Yamcha very well, especially eyebrows and eyes. His cheerful character imparted a upbeat atmosphere there. He said, “I wanted to get any small part, I got to audition, and I got the role of Yamcha. I have Japanese friends and I asked him to send the video of Dragonball and I watched them over and over again. But I realized Yamcha didn’t appear in them a lot. Where is Yamcha? looking for him in the video, I studied him.” The author also thought certainly that Yamcha’s appearance is few in the original, and he wondered whether Puar (Yamcha’s pet cat) appeared or not. He asked his company editor, but the editor said “Who cares?” and the author didn’t really care either. Joon also said he collected toy figures made of metal like Mazinger Z.

Next, they interviewed Jamie Chung. She is a crisp girl, her face was expressive, like as a small animal, her lower lip and twinkling almond eyes were adorable. Press men got hot immediately. She resembled kid Chi-Chi rather than adult Chi-Chi. She said her type is a pretty boy.

Next they interviewed Chow Yun-Fat. He is different from the image of Master Roshi than in the original, but he surprisingly matched the lovable mischief and dirty old man perfectly. He said his favorite food is Japanese Ramen. He was very kind enough to take a photo with the author. He said, “I have never played such character, but I could play it happily and passionately.” The author looks forward to seeing him play Muten Roshi.

And James Marsters appeared at last. His cheek line looks just like Piccolo. he said “Were you wearing the Gold Jacket before? I passed you at the hotel didn’t I?” The man he saw at the hotel was James Marsters after all. James shouted, “I am Piccolo! Yes! I’m Picoolo, so I won’t let anyone play Piccolo!” He was full of spirit. His enthusiasm to the role came through intensely, he looked as if he was the real Piccolo for a moment to the author’s eyes. He thought this movie was worth seeing to see James Marsters as Piccolo by itself.

  9. zanny Says:

    I guess wat u guyz talked about in ur last podcast was wrong. I mean bout chatwin that is. U talked about how they prob just photoshoped his arms or watever, but after readin this, it states that chatwin did indeed train before they even started filmin so i think u guyz owe hime an apology lol

  10. Psychophylus Says:

    The part about James Marsters’ cheek line looking just like Piccolo’s is exactly what I’ve thought for a while. The more I see pictures of Marsters, the more I realize he looks almost exactly like Piccolo Daimao. He’s most likely going to be the best character in the movie.

  11. Ren Says:

    After seeing Chatwin in “The Chumscrubber” I have no doubt that that’s all him in the Gi. No photoshop or prosthetics. This information confirms it, and sounds like he’s taken every possible step to stay true to this role. Go Justin!

  12. JP Says:

    Yup! I was wrong and am more than happy to admit that.

    Chatwin trained for 7 months. That means he was cast March/April of 2007!

  13. Karen Says:

    Really good news ;D

    “She said her active and cheerful character resembled Bulma.”
    xDDDDDDDDDDDDDD :-) :twisted:

  14. Jeff Says:

    Wtf? I ate Gorditas yesterday. 8O

  15. andthenIsaid Says:

    No one’s commented yet on the new info about Roshi? I’m seriously pumped as hell about this now. I knew they were doing something right :)

  16. Karen Says:

  19. gohanxz Says:

    yes this is great news i wish i was here befor this is to awsome :D :D :D Justin Chatwin is going to rock the role of goku

  20. ggg Says:

    Waouh! they are changing subject at each phrase!

  21. ggg Says:

    Ouuuh!

  22. dbzm28 Says:

    Wow, that was nice!
    I liked the Goku part the best, it was nice hearing all of that. Raised my hopes up a lot.
    Yeah I knew it was his body the whole time, cause most actors buff up before films. Anyone should know that.
    But yeah thanks a lot for this JP, made my day.

  23. dbzm28 Says:

    Action films*

  24. Caleb Holoman Says:

    That’s cool that they wanted Bulma’s hair blue!!! I mean, I still would like it blue, but whatever. I’m not making the movie. Haha

    Gordiatas do sound pretty darn nice right now.

    I’d stick my weeny in them. :D :D

  25. Kame Says:

    I keep reading about how Chatwin trained for the stunt scenes, but they never said how. I doubt he’s been ‘buffing up’ just by looking at all the photos of him. He looks exactly the same as before this movie. I mean if he’s buff…what does that make a normal-sized person aka someone twice Chatwin’s size?

  26. Jessssssse Says:

    If you look at Gokus arms when he fought Piccolo, they wernt that big.. I Think Justin And Goku look a lot alike. The thing I wanna see is Justin Do A KAMEHAMEHA Wave, hopefully he does it Good. :D :mrgreen:

  27. Jessssssse Says:

    Chatwins Good but What About This Guy, C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Pictures\tn2_mike_myers_3.jpg

  28. Kame Says:

    Jesssssssssssse:

    Yeah, Toriyama did that a lot in his earlier DB drawings. I mean when Goku was wearing a shirt he looked thinner, but if he took it off or if it got blown off, he would suddenly be really buff. I guess Toriyama didn’t feel like drawing him in detail whenever he was wearing the upper part of his gi.

    BTW, how do you guys like my new LOL Dog avatar?

  29. Demetri Says:

    it’s nice turtle.

    And wud every1 stop saying LOL!

  30. Jeff Says:

    Kame your wrong.

    Its like a Cobra, if you make it mad it’ll show its fangs. In this sense Goku would need to be worked up for a “Buff” look.

  31. seth Says:

    who ever writes these jump SQ set reports must be on drugs or something! there all over the place… like what ggg said “Waouh! they are changing subject at each phrase!”
    neway news sounds cool

  32. Kame Says:

    No, Jeff. I had to look up the scene to show you what I’m talking about. It has an annoying voice talking over everything but that’s not what’s important. Anyway, here it is:

  33. KAIOCRIS Says:

    jamie chung. she likes pretty boys i’m a pretty boy. so much in common. its a near perftect match. I think we should get together and make babies sometime.

  34. Jeff Says:

    I dont really see a difference. Polish :lol:

  35. barashin Says:

    Ah see! SEE!! Justin was training for the role! His muscles ain’t photo shopped :lol: That’s kinda idiotic to say such a thing anyways :lol: and I agree with Emmy’s hair stylist, Mr. Gomez. Her blue hair would guarantied be too strong for the live action…

  36. EeeZKey Says:

    hmm….ironic that I am currently eating a gordita. :)
    Japan is getting quite a bit of marketing for this movie through jump, when do we?

  37. blaumann Says:

    this is great news!!! does this mean the HQ pic of Jackson spidell wearing the kame gi may still possible be a prototype… it makes me think…. because in the previous jump addition with the manga drawing of the kame gi, they also said that the gi wasnt real even though it looked like identical to the one we saw in the HQ pic… makes me think

  38. Anonymous Says:

    “and he wondered whether Puar (Yamcha’s pet cat) appeared or not. He asked his company editor, but the editor said “Who cares?” and the author didn’t really care either. ”

    … I care.

  39. Anonymous Says:

    They should put Puar in the movie just as a normal cat. I understand no talking animals in a live action movie though.

  40. Tico Says:

    i’m glad that every single piece of news and other spoile stuff are thing that where not in the script. that makes the script fake, and i didn’t like the script at all. but i also think puar should be in it, as a normal cat

  41. DustyTheSpaceCoyote Says:

    Omochi!

  42. LSB Says:

    I like the fact that Justin trained for 7 months before filming is a great way to be dedicated to the film. On that note Justin is not buff!!…He is in shape but not buff. He maybe cut and some muscle mass but he is not buff……But hay I could be wrong cause everything looks different on screen then on pictures!…Other then that I loved the new’s and the movie is still going to rock….I’ll probably see two or three times in theathers…Can’t wait!!!

  43. Tasunara Says:

    Justin Chatwin trained with 87eleven, for those who wanted to know. He probably learned Martial Arts and built up strength.

    :D vs :mrgreen:

    Good point, Tasunara

  45. dbzm28 Says:

    I said “buff up” as in he got bigger.
    Not he is “buff”.
    Cause after I said that a lot of people started saying HE IS NOY BUFF and crap, please don’t put words in my mouth. Thanks! :wink:

    Then please choose your words wisely :|

  47. VANSWON Says:

    im so exited i dont care if this movie suks or not im stell going to see it.

  48. londongirl Says:

    arigato! for putting this set report up.

    and i cnt believe you guys were accusing them of using photoshop on justins arms *SHOCKED* i would expect that from jealous guys not you guys (unless you guys are jealous)

    and james marsters has such defined cheekbones its unbelievable. he deff has pics bone structure.

  49. Tasunara Says:

    Let’s all share Vanswon’s attitude.

    “wats so funny about gorditas jp? you fuckin creep”

    Stop bashing JP, Corey Wilson. I think that you are the onlyone who would do that after the little tantrum you threw.

    And even if it isn’t Corey Wilson (I’m going to safely assume it is) JP is the admin, so without him, no news about the movie.

    BTW, JP, you rock for all this time you’re taking out of your free time! Arigato gozaimasu.

    :D vs :mrgreen:

  51. ATXhorns Says:

    Off topic but i was just thinking about how it sucks we wont get to see a live action trunks. Trunks was my favorite character. I really hope the movie does well becuase i think the sequels would be amazing. Great story from the saiyan saga to the namek saga with freeza. Hope we get to see it and if its popular enough throw some andriods in the mix.

    out

  52. Shenron Says:

    This movie changed so much u probably cudnt recognize him. Fox wud probably make his har blond lik Yamcha.

  53. dragonsoul2 Says:

    ATXhorns:
    Who knows…we could see Trunks. We’re just kinda of assuming that they’ll go in chronological order with the events of the anime, but they could end up combining or skipping a lot of stuff in order to get to the really good stuff.

  54. piou Says:

    Gosh! Jp U are so amazing!

  55. JP Says:

    Thanks Tasunara!

  56. VANSWON Says:

    hay how do you change the pic next to your name?
