We Haven’t Seen The Theatrical Trailer Yet, And We Won’t See It With ‘Max Payne’

Posted by The Original Bamfer | Uncategorized, Video | Monday 6 October 2008 8:34 pm

DB Legends had the opportunity to talk with Twentieth Century Fox about the leaked promotional footage, believed by some to be the theatrical trailer, as well as the trailer we’d see with Max Payne. This is what they had to say:

“First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content. It is not meant to irritate or discourage you and your readers from following this film campaign. It’s just that the pieces of content that are being leaked were not created to be used this way. They were only meant to be shown to potential Licensing & Merchandising partners who need to make partnering decisions far in advance of release date, and the content has not been approved for online use. Elements like music clearances and even talent approvals have not been pursued because we had no intention of having this go online. Alot goes into a trailer or video being authorized for online use….

We had hoped to have a really kick-ass trailer done by MAX PAYNE’s in-theater date, but because alot of effects shots are still being worked on - we’ve decided to wait until there is more material to work with, so we can really “wow” you and the fans. This is not uncommon for a film that still has 6 months until it goes in theaters. It looks like the real trailer will be released a little later in the year.

Again, thanks for all your interest. I am happy to update you when we get new artwork and approved video to distribute. We appreciate you removing the content, and don’t mean to cause you any headaches with your readers”

In short, the promotional footage that was recently leaked is not the theatrical trailer and that the official, theatrical trailer will not be released with Max Payne on October 17th, but rather later in the year.

Thanks to Dragonball reporter and DBMB Boards member Craig for the heads up.

    OH great news that that AWFUL TRAILER isn’t going to be shown

    in your faces people who thought that trailer was awesome.

    EVEN THEY KNEW IT WAS BAD!

  2. Dragonballs Says:

    Well, maybe now they will make a better looking trailer.

  3. yo Says:

    Hopefully we get a kick ass one now though

  4. Fatoush Says:

    Hopefully the real trailer wont make it look so cheap and crappy

  5. sk Says:

    yay i knew the special effects wouldn’t be that bad.

  6. Gokenshadow Says:

    It’s good to hear that wasn’t the real trailer. I can’t wait to see it.

  7. Jesse J Says:

    that was a kick ass trailer, and to make it better, woohee!

  8. Jesse J Says:

    lol, the trailer will be released in a week! lol

  9. Chibi_Vegeta Says:

    hmm hope to see the nice new trailer shortly! I liked this one though, but im just a bit more optimistic i guess.

  10. www.myspace.com/coreywilson10 Says:

    Even though I shed some tears, because I told all of my friends to watch the teaser during Max Payne im still happy to know there going to work even harder on the special effects to please all the fans. I hope the real trailer is out of this world and makes me pee my pants.

  11. Daniel Powell Says:

    Hmm… somehow I think this is more like, “Oh crap they hated that leaked trailer?” — “Cancel the Max Payne debut, we need to make it a lot better and win them back.”

  12. Inu Says:

    Fuck, sick of waiting. Better not have to wait till freaking January.

  13. chicagoboy888 Says:

    @daniel powell

    funny, i was imagining the same thing. either that or they just like fucking with us.

    “Even though we’re no where near done with the editing and effects, lets see what happens when whe let this unfinished version leak onto the internet.”

    *leaks trailer*

    “LOL! Hey Tim come check this out man, look at all these crybabies whining about this leaked trailer, they actually think its the finished version. LOL! PUSSIES! ok ok that’s enough, take it down. oh man i love this job”

  14. yo Says:

    @ chicagoboyy

    I don’t think that’s what Daniel Powell meant with his comment…

  15. yo Says:

    @ chicagoboy

    (well the second part anyways)

  16. banto Says:

    it’s good to know that wasn’t the real trailer…it was a bit sloppy. i hope we find out when the real one is coming out soon.

  17. Anonymous Says:

    Well no reason to go see Max Payne now… thank gawd..

  20. Rakkudo Says:

    :mrgreen: WHOO!
    dang im glad dat aint tuh real trailer! it felt too rushed..like Transformers first trailer wuz kik az!!..im hoping Dragonball can top there trailer. (i honestly doubt it)

  21. Eldy Says:

    My friends made a funny joke about the movie, and I kind of didn’t pay attention to it much until I got home.

    They said lets pay for another movie, walk in for Dragonball, in the first couple of minutes the second something is exposed as to why this movie sucks: get up, say “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT” or “What the fuck man?”, then leave. LOL.

    I kind of was thinking of work but now that I got home and thought about those jokes a little I’m actually thinking of doing that with a group of friends

  22. Critz Says:

    i hope it comes out with twilight haha

  23. barashin Says:

    Makes sense, but from the way I see it. The damage has already been done. Majority of the fans already think this is trash. If they really have the ability to wow us, I’d be certainly amazed, that I will be!!!

  24. sour_hed Says:

    I think all of this trailer leakage, picture leakage is part of the DB movie producer and directors strategy. They know that DB has so many followers, and it has its own world. So by having this leakages and have fans comment on them, and make the minor changes that they can do so the fans would be atleast happy in a way. They got another 6 months to this little things, maybe by the time the movie comes out, it will close to what DB is all about. This is just a thought, nothing about what I said is fact, but think about.

  25. Camman Says:

    Oh thank god, yes we have to wait more, but anything that means those effects before weren’t done, and there’s a BETTER trailer in the works is good, I can wait for something that’s good then want a rushed half-assed product 8)

  26. holmination Says:

    Good news eh.
    We get to wet our apetites again later in the year.

    On another note, I actually didn’t mind the leaked trailer. Ive seen it hundreds of times now and the more I watch it the more I love it.

    Especially the score, Credit to Brian Tyler.
    The only downnote was a few special effects.

    Loved when Chatwin looked up at the eclips,
    Something big is about to happen. 8O

  27. Deadlock04 Says:

    holmination vraun didn’t compose this trailer music. it’s too generic but good. immediate music finished a score for the trailer in may. so the real teaser trailer may have the real music

  28. fiferdodo Says:

    Podcast…? Soon I Hope….

  29. blah2012 Says:

    Great news!

    thx 4 the info

  30. Jesse J Says:

    lol, yea they probably saw the poll over at dbthemovie.com, lol

  31. chicagoboy888 Says:

    @yo

    I know what he meant by his comment.

    I said they’re probably doing either what he was saying OR they’re just messing with us (which is the example I gave in the second part of my comment).

  32. Jesse J Says:

    Have you guys heard the word?

  33. MasterOfDisguise Says:

    wat word??

  34. JoseMP Says:

    I liked the footage shown, image how great the teaser and theatrical ones will be. :D

  35. KAIOCRIS Says:

    you know what would make me happy. if they put a short clip of krillin doing a cameo in the trailer. That would CHANGE EVERYTHING! Everyones opinion would be flipped from fail to epic. It would be such and unexpected shock that everyone would stfu and all would be right in the world of dragonball as it continued to hold the titled of the reason life and the universe was created. :wink:

  36. Alex-G Says:

    the bird is the word, the bird, the bird bird bird, the bird is the word

  37. ANONYMOUS Says:

    *SIGH*….WHAT A RELIEF!!! This leak footage is not the teaser after all. It’s just for the Licensing and Merchandising partners. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  38. Anonymous Says:

    More proof tha those tha said tha they had seen the finished movie were lying :D

  39. Myself Says:

    That is half bad news ands half good, the bad is that we cannot see the trailer sooner :evil: the good that the special effects were not finished so those cheese ki blast might look better in the end :D

  40. Dragonball2009 Says:

    How about Goku looking up in the sky at the eclipse, what does that mean? Could it be a Summon of Shenron?

  41. Phat Joseph Says:

    SO I BELIEVE THEY WERE NOT FINISHED, BUT HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN ROSHIS KI BLAST

  42. ANONYMOUS Says:

    @Phat Joseph

    They were just rushed. They just slapped those effects so they can show it to the Licensing and Merchandising Partners.

  43. Shawna Says:

    I liked the trailer for what it was, an unfinished demonstration. I didnt think it was the actual trailer, if it had been though I would have finally denounced any faith in this movie. A trailer, even a teaser is meant to wow. This just indulged my curiosity. :-)

  44. Phat Joseph Says:

    Yea good point.

    As meant for Licensing and Merchandising purposes i give it an 8.5.

    As a regular trailer i give it a 6.

  45. Dragonball2009 Says:

    Yup I also gave it a 6

    :lol:

  46. Myself Says:

    Why is this site in the comments section so damn dry lately. Man come on DBMB fans! Lets post more often!

    I just hope that the real traler is way better. I only liked this trailer because it was the first footage and i was dying to see it.

  47. skeptic Says:

    no clue how authentic this is. i’d expect a fox rep to not misspell “alot,” use slang, and add a happy face at the end of the e-mail. kinda insulting, actually. guess we’ll find out in 11 days XD

  48. Myself Says:

    that is darn good observation “skeptic”.

  49. PrimoPiccolo Says:

    Yay for a better trailer, boo for not packaging with Max Payne. Well, at least in the sense that we have to wait longer, Max Payne’s crap anyway.

    Myself said: “Why is this site in the comments section so damn dry lately. Man come on DBMB fans! Lets post more often!”

    I think everyone got tired fingers after sounding off on Piccolo’s look. Which I still think isn’t that bad. And Pic’s obviously my favorite.

  50. Phat Joseph Says:

    I wonder what Jp and Bamfer thought of the old trailer. AND TRUNKS!

    Where have they been, why has there been no podcast?

  51. DBiscool Says:

    According to someone at boxofficemojo.com a movie’s success or failure can be predicted by HSX.com. This is a stock market for movies. He says that dragonball stock is extremely low compared to other big movies coming next year and the recent trailer affected the stock. It went down from 42 to 37. He says watchmen, wolverine and gi joe are all above $150 which means they have potential to do $150 million or above while dragonball won’t do more than 40 million. I looked up HSX.com and found this

    http://movies.hsx.com/servlet/SecurityDetail?symbol=DRGNB

    Can someone please explain if this is true. Dragonball will bomb? :( :cry:

  52. 5aucy Says:

    First,

    What’s with the Max Payne haters? That was an amazing game, great story, the trailers look great… I honestly expect more from it than from DB.

    Second.

    It was a teaser. It was not supposed to be amazing. Having said that… Popular opinion said it was amazing, so I don’t know what’s up with everyone suddenly being excited that that wasn’t the *actual* trailer.

    Third.

    Even when the final trailer comes out, it will not be the *final* product. It’s a trailer. I’m not sure what everyone is expecting. The trailer is to give you an *idea*. To entice you. The trailer isn’t to entertain. They will not show the whole story. They will not show the best quotations in their entirety, and they will not show the scenes with the best effects, because they save it all for the movie.

    I don’t know why everyone expects every tiny detail of this film to be orgasmic.

  53. Jonsul Says:

    Hell I loved the leaked trailer. That alone had me going to the movie. I can’t imagine how the real one will look.
    Damn it’ll be 100x better. My hope for this movie have gone up 100% :D

  54. SSJ4 Says:

    Well…..
    I’m happy there’s going to be a better trailer coming…..
    But look at it this way….trailers are better than one…for fans I mean… :mrgreen:
    We’ll get to see more of the movie scenes before the release..
    I have total faith on those skeptic ASS**$#&@..
    They WILL reject the new trailer and call it crap neway…
    Its just there nature….
    This trailer wasnt even supposed to be watched by fans….
    And frankly….it wasnt even THAT bad for a Pre-production Teaser…
    I Have faith in DRAGONBALL :D :D :D

    SCREW YOU *#%@ing SCEPTICS

    DRAGONBALL!!!! :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  55. Bradbalboa Says:

    hmm well the trailer we saw was ok i guess, hope they can get a better one where an actualy punch is thrown !!

  56. SSJ4 Says:

    Two Trailers I mean….
    sorry my bad :|

  57. muz Says:

    i think the real trailer should come out with the day the earth stood still.

  58. Dragonball2009 Says:

    Muz…..let’s hope so

  59. crymzen Says:

    so that wasnt the trailer then…kool i cant wait to see what the real trailer is like becuase personaly i realy like the leaked footage yeah it wasnt what yud expect to see from a dragonball trailer but it was still very good..it gave us some answers to a few questions we originaly had on the film..most to do with picolo ofcourse

  60. www.myspace.com/coreywilson10 Says:

    @ JP, TOB, Trunks, and Star:

    I think this is a good time to ask Fox what we think they should do in the real trailer. Hey JP what would you like to see without spoiling anything? Can you please awnser my question?? PLEASE Boss!! :mrgreen:

    Personally I would love to see Goku charging up his ki. I would also like to see his aura around his body while fighting Piccolo. That would be so cool!! What do you think JP?

  61. wishingdragon Says:

    How can some of you say that the leaked promo video was great and ”AWESOME!!111ONEOMFG!11”?

    It looked like f*cking Power Rangers, hell even Power Rangers topped it with those crappy scenes. I know, I know… It was scenes from the beginning when they started to film the movie and the special effects aren’t done yet, yeah, well.. so what. Those scenes WILL and ARE going to be in the movie anyway, just add some minor special effects and it’s good to go. Crap.

    Also, i’m a bit surprised how many people in this conversation says that the leaked promo trailer sucked ass etc. While in leaked video discussion, there were hundreds of hundreds people writing that it rocked and ”omfg best moment in my life”. Did I miss something?
    A minute ago you liked the promo, now it sucks? Great, people do not have any opinions these days.

    @www.myspace.com/coreywilson10:

    This isn’t DBZ. If you’re a dragonball fan, you would know what I mean. So go to hell and die in a fire.

  62. Piccolo Says:

    Im still seeing max payne lol. loved that game

  63. Jake Says:

    They did tell IGN in August it may not be with Max Payne

    Buddy, it was an innformal letter. You dont have to be all formal and perfectionist in a letter of this type.

    This is the actual email: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5985/foxemailvy8.png

  65. Jack Says:

    But people… You don’t want to understand it’s gonna be a movie which uses the name of “DragonBall” but is not about DragonBall!!!!

    It’s gonna be like “The Fast and The Furious meet Tomb Raider”

  66. ANONYMOUS Says:

    @Jack

    What? you expect every single detail from the original to be the same in the movie? You know not everything is a carbon copy of the original look at Transformers, Batman, Superman, etc. Everything is changed so it will fit in the big screen.

    “The Fast and The Furious meet Tomb Raider”
    what your judging a movie that was 45 seconds of unfinished footage that wasn’t meant to be leaked online? Just because you saw cars and rocky areas and flips doesn’t mean it is “The Fast and The Furious meet Tomb Raider” :|

  67. Tico Says:

    Lovely_raindrops, your a wanker, you havent seen the movie, cause the man from top of this page saids te movie isn’t even done yet, plus the second fackt that makes you an even bigger ass is that you said it doesnt look photorealistic but like an anime, everyone who has seen the trailer can see for himself that is looks photorealistic and not freakin anime like speedracer

  68. skeptic Says:

    JoseMP: Buddy, it was an innformal letter. You dont have to be all formal and perfectionist in a letter of this type.

    i still don’t know. call it instinct. it’s kinda like those black market dvds where there’re a bunch of spelling mistakes and sloppy blurbs on the case that makes you think there’s no way a big professional company would sell that.

    like i said tho, we’ll find out in 10 days. even if no trailer’s released, ppl will still watch the movie ;)

  69. Anonymous Says:

    I am actually happy that wasn’t the official trailer because it didn’t have enough SFX and it didn’t draw my attention that much. Hopefully the REAL one will kick ass.

  70. Phat Joseph Says:

    lol

    “Quick make another trailer, they didn’t like the old one!”

  71. dbz fan Says:

    dam so no dbz trailer on max pyne??? FUCK! lol now we gotta wait another month or 2 dammit alll!!!!!!!!

  72. soplox Says:

    DBLAM SUCKS, it ruins the DB franchise.. Justin chatwin has ruined everything about goku, piccolo looks so epically terrible.. he looks like palepatine from startwars.. Goku going to highschool?? are you kidding me?? you all have NO right to call yourself DB fans EVER by supporting this abomination. If u are to stupid to see that this movie has ruined fox then your opinions dont matter to a true DB fan. This movie is the biggest insult that anyone could do to DB. Fox doesnt care at all about DB, we all know they saw DB JUST as a business opportunity and didnt care if they ruined it in the process, they just want a cheap buck and thats how they saw DB. it seems more like a disney movie, goku goes to highschool. he looks nothing like the actual goku (same for EVERY actor). Not to mention the trailer was the most pathetic low budget piece of sh*t that true DB fans have ever seen and will admit it. there is no f-ing prophecy in DB , what a dumbass to say that.. how far can they go from the original series??? I would never relate this movie to the actual DB , that i grew up to love. In fact , I have began looking for the similarites between this movie and the actual manga instead of differences. Cause there is FOR SURE more differences then similarities, the ONLY similiarity is the name. If you can name 5 GOOD similarities, ill admit this movie will only suck major balls. And if you think im the only one who feels this way, you are wrong. there is millions of loyal fans to DB who hate it just as much as i do, and have made a protest which I signed and suggest you all sign so no more piece of shit DBZ/GT-lam come out and ruin the entire series even more. Everything i said is true and you all know it, well if you are true DB fans. Anyway Fox you dont understand anything about anime and never will and you have ruined what so many have loved, if i find you i would love to be the one to stab you and cut your cheap head off anyday. thank you, and DBLAM SUCKS!!!!!!!!! :x

  73. Christian Says:

    Well I understand your point….I’m still going to see it in the theaters. Its too bad they never produced a kick ass full fledged animated DB movie with sick animation….as fluent as Akira….

    Seems like the only Franchise giving justice to their branched movies is Marvel (IRON MAN and beyond)

    Anyone else think George Lucas needs to stop…….everything and anything in making new garbage?!?!?!?!?

  74. 5aucy Says:

    Wow, soplox, run on sentence.

    Passing 4th grade grammar makes it a lot easier for people to understand what you’re talking about.

    Tne problem, is you and everyone like you are asking for something that isn’t practical.

    I would hate a DB movie that followed the exact script. Look at any movie made from any literature. They change stuff. They have to.

    DB storyline is bland and drawn out. It contradicts itself repeats.

    I love it, but it’s true.

    instead of complaining about things not being the same, give me 5 reasons why the changes they made are bad.

    not reasons like “It’s stupid.” Reasons like “it makes the story less exciting” or something like that.

    There have been changes made, yeah. It’s not just like the anime/manga. So what?

    Spiderman1-3, Batman1-2, X-men1-3, Hulk, Iron Man, LOTR, and 300 were all good movies for the most part, but they changed a *lot* from the original literature.

    So what?

  75. Piccolo Says:

    @soplox

    Your statement is well put, however what YOU don’t realize is that this isn’t DB as live action, its an ADAPTATION! Imagine talking pig people or turtles or floating cats or dinosaurs, it would look ridiculous and BOMB like Speed Racer.

    Changes have to be made when moving from one medium to another, and in Anime especially. Anime has a very strange way of bringing on comic relief, its like Looney Toons or any other “kiddish” cartoon, not that the stories aren’t serious or whatever, but the way they have comic relief is childish. Could you imagine Chi-Chi’s head growing huge and red and her nose dissapears and her teeth become razor sharp, that would look fucking retarded live action.

    When making this an epic adult movie they only take the most realistic aspects of the series; the emotions, story, danger, battles and so on. They can still have plenty of comic relief with Goku’s stupidity without retardly having characters topple over or what not.

  76. uub Says:

    Ahh man, I never saw the trailer, somebody tell me, was it good ?

  77. WhitneyC Says:

    Why do I get this sneaking suspicion that there’s more to it than let on? I dunno I just wouldn’t be shocked if they had an ‘accidental’ leak (really, it’s not like it was recorded with a crappy camcorder at some convention, the version we got- it’s not too hard to keep your footage unseen if you dont WANT it seen)..saw the reactions online, pulled the plug and now want to try a different one.

    Or not. I just know that things dont leak that often without SOME approval- no matter if they claimed not to.

    Either way though, I hope we still get SOMETHING in front of Max Payne.

  78. Eldy Says:

    uub: No, it was crap just as expected.

  79. CJB Says:

    later in the year? Probably means no trailer until 12/31/08…

  80. Foolinfection Says:

    @ soplox

    DB did too have a prophecy. The Dragonballs themselves are in fact a prophecy. All part of the legend. Hell there was another prophecy that came along later on in DBZ. The prophecy of the legendary Super Saiyan.

    So,why argue if there’s a different prophecy in this movie? It still involves the Dragonballs.

    And I hate when people say that you aren’t a true Dragonball fan if you support this movie or if you like the way Goku looks in this movie.
    That’s like saying you’re not a true Boston Redsox fan if you live in Kentucky.
    A lot of people seem to talk about it like their loyalty to DB is like that of loyalty to a sports team.

    It should be nothing like that.
    There are many of us that can say that our lives wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have DB. I know I would be totally different if I didn’t watch DB.
    You seem to miss the point that quite a few people have talked about here since a while back. Our pal Jeff being one of them. The point that as long as they can keep the theme and essence of DB that we’ve loved for so many years,then we shall like it.

  81. Tico Says:

  82. DBZM28 Says:

    @DBiscool
    No the movie will not “bomb”.
    No one out side of the internet really knows about this movie. I haven’t meet one person who knew before I told them. You know why? Cause the Trailer hasn’t even came out yet that’s why. also it hasn’t even started any real promotion.

  83. Diggler6996k Says:

    well this is justy too bad im not gona see max payne now.. i might but im doughtfull thanks to this :(

  84. gnotlawl Says:

    haha, I knew they was gonna say that. I bet someone from Fox purposely leaked the db teaser for the lulz and see what the die hard fans would say. of course, everyone is being a negative nancy about it.

  85. 5aucy Says:

    Foolinfection,

    That is the best explanation of why this “true fan” crap is totally bs. Thanks :-)

    And they did not leak it to get public opinion on it. All movies have multiple versions of all their trailers. Maybe nobody has ever followed a movie this closely, but it’s not all that different from what The Dark Knight or other movies did during production.

  86. spiderman Says:

    i knew that it wasnt the real trailer.

  87. WhitneyC Says:

    You may not know how these things work but it’s HIGHLY unlikely that any ‘teaser’ of that video quality would escape a studio without ANY OK from ANYONE. SOMEONE knew, believe you me.

  88. soplox Says:

    OMG STFU!!!! YOU GUYS ARNT TRUE FANS!!!1 BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! IM GOING TO CRY NOW IN MY CORNER AND CUT MYSELF!!!!IM A HUGE DB EMO FAN!!!!! FUCK YOUUUUUU!!!!!

  89. Jesse J Says:

    Remember that DBGT Movie about Goku jr. were he starts off in highschool, and then grandma Pan was dying, so he sets off to find the 4 star dragonball

    In the movie it starts off with Goku going to highschool, then Grandpa Gohan dies and sets off to find the dragonballs

    kinda cool

  90. Ryoga Hibiki Says:

    barashin Says:
    “Majority of the fans already think this is trash.”

    The majority of “fans” thought it was trash before the project was even greenlit. Even an awesome trailer isn’t going to change that.

  91. Ryoga Hibiki Says:

    Incidentally, I don’t buy all this “they leaked it on purpose and then ran in fear” conspiracy stuff. It doesn’t gel with what we know.

    We know that in August they were still working on big special effect scenes that they were worried wouldn’t be finished in time for a theatrical trailer in October. If all they wanted to show in the trailer was Roshi using a bit of energy, why the hubbub about needing to finish the effects shots in time? There’s no way they spent two months doing a couple of seconds of energy blast for the trailer.

    Also, isn’t Immediate Music writing original music for the trailer? The music in that leak sounded rather cut-and-paste to me, not specifically composed for the footage.

    Furthermore, the sound quality of the dialog clips is lacking. It doesn’t have the final spit-polish of post production. Same with the sound effects.

    There’s no greenband to indicate that the trailer has been approved for ALL AUDIENCES, which the trailer will have to have before going theatrical.

    For my money, all the evidence points in the direction of this being exactly what they say it is — a trailer cut together for licensing purposes, never meant to be seen by the outside world. It’s similar to the leaked trailer for ‘Dollhouse’ (Joss Whedon’s new show) that hit the internet a couple of months back, in that it’s obviously unpolished.

    Even if they released a really awesome trailer, haters and bashers will not change their minds. They just do it for the heck of it. They’ve got nothing better to do. They won’t ignore it, they just do it to simply make people angry. So it’s just best to ignore.

    Ryoga Hibiki was talking about something good. You should read it.

    He is just saying that it was obvious that the promotional footage wasnt the teaser trailer. Read it.

    To the person who posted the HSX link:

    There is NO WAY to predict how a movie will do. Dragonball could go either way (but I’m hoping it is a success).

  97. WhitneyC Says:

    Yeah no matter what the outcome, there has NEVER been a movie that’s been 100% well received by fans, especially one as highly scrutinized as this- from day one, any film based on the Dragonball property was bound to be intensely scrutinized, period.
    We can only hope they didn’t COMPLETELY screw everything up- it’s already CERTAIN that some aspects most of us HATE… so we know we wont be 100% satisfied, but we can hope there’s something worthwhile to all this wait. What, if anything, that is, I don’t know. Yet. I think Wong is a fan, so has some respect, though.

    What’s with this petition against the movie?

    It doesn’t even make sense…

    It’s a movie… who cares?

    Just don’t watch it.

    Fox is gonna do what it’s gonna do.

    Grow a pair and get over it. It’s not like it’s the presidential elections or anything.

  103. 5aucy Says:

    wow, 900 signatures…

    So the movie will make… what maybe $9,000 less because of this petition…?

    I’m honestly worried I associate myself with fans of this show oftentimes…

  106. thesummoned Says:

    ofcourse you’re not gonna have a movie to satisfy all the fans. but i think this movie might work out. just think of it as a movie, and not complain why it’s different from the anime, cuz no one would wanna watch a replica of the manga.

  107. thesummoned Says:

    and btw, if ur a true fan of dragonball, you wouldn’t let a movie change your perspective about db. a fan will always remain a fan.

    They’re basically crappy versions of the demons Piccolo created in Dragon Ball (Tamborine, Cymbal, Piano, etc) In this movie, Piccolo uses a tank and makes them from his DNA. In the manga, they hatched from an egg he spit out, the same way Piccolo Jr. was created.

  123. avenged Says:

    No lie. I talked with them myself. It was their intentions to make the full blown trailer ready for Max Payne, but it just aint gonna happen. A small teaser is possible (maybe something similar to what we have seen) but the full trailer is not.

    Rudeboy, your an idiot.

  125. VicodinPopper Says:

    I actually dont know what to beleive. I hope this isnt the trailer….it wasnt bad but it wasnt great, the only reason you all like it is cos its dragonball.

    Goku looks pathetic, so they need to do something about that.

    Oh and btw @all: Were all sat here posting on a cartoon-movie blog. WE ARE ALL EQUALLY SAD!

  126. 5aucy Says:

    Wow, it must be true because rudeboy said it so many times…

    I think everybody needs to go back and watch all of DB again, because people keep commenting on how stupid Goku looks, or critiquing the direction the movie is taking…

    It seems like it’s a blog full of DBZ fans that are mad that the Goku/Piccolo battle will not be the Frieza/Goku battle.

    The Piccolo/Goku battle was almost pathetic. Piccolo gets big, Goku flies inside him to get Kami in the bottle thing. The announcer is still announcing the whole time…

    People need to keep this stuff in mind.

    Goku is pretty much a total dork until he gets killed by Raditz. If anyone remembers, most of the battle with Piccolo was a joke to him. His battles after that he treats a little more seriously. Thus we have the DBZ Goku who is not quite as much of a dork as the DB Goku…

    That took way longer to say than I anticipated. Haha.

  128. Jack Says:

    Pff you people are COMPLETELY BLIND!!!

    It’s like if Peter Jackson said “Oh, I’m going to make a movie for no-fans, so I’ll make FRODO GO TO HIGH SCHOOL!!!!”

  129. 5aucy Says:

    Actually, Peter Jackson did a lot similar to that.

    Peter Jackson actually made Frodo an entirely different character in the movies than he was in the book.

    true, he sort of stuck to the plotline (he took a lot of liberty though…)

    Frodo was made into a wuss that always has to rely on other to get anything done for him. He was exactly the opposite in the books.

    Goku on the other hand, from what we’ve been told, is the same character. He’s just in a different environment.

    Are you defined as a person by the location you are at? Or by your personality?

    Frodo was in the same *places* in the book as in the movie, but his character was a complete reversal.

    Goku on the other hand, may be in school instead of in the woods, but does that mean his personality is violated? Absolutely not.

    If you want to argue that he wasn’t educated in the manga/anime just look at most of the people that post here as an example… school doesn’t seem to have helped them much.

    Goku going to high school means nothing. He is the same character, in a different e

  130. 5aucy Says:

    Ah, scrap that last line.

  131. banto Says:

    well, goku would never say something like “i don’t think i’m ready for this.” i thought that was just a TAD uncharacteristic of him…just a TAD.
    hopefully, this line won’t be used in the real trailer. it kinda put me off.

  132. J-Syn Says:

    @ 5aucy

    You are correct man. I think its time for people to stop bitching about this movie. Nothing can be done now. Its made…its being edited…and no amounts of pathetic petitions are going to change that. I for one am GLAD they are mainstreaming this. I mean seriously. If I wanted to see talking animals and witches and Frankenstein looking androids Id watch Harry Potter or something. Lets face it. There are some childish notions in DB and DBZ that most Americans just wouldnt find entertaining at all. They would find it stupid and not bother with this movie. And another thing. Even if they started out with Goku as a kid in the woods…who would play him? Who’d want to see that? Where else would a young Goku be in a Hollywood adaptation? High School duh! This isnt 100 years ago where kids stayed home from school to work on a farm! And who would want to see Goku picking potatoes? (and yes im aware that Goku does kind of have a farmer mentality but im talking about barns and livestock and that whole nine yards).
    I am generally a purist when it comes to movies. But I think they made some VERY good moves with this adaptation. Justin Chatwin looks fine for Goku. Goku isnt muscle-bound in the beginning anyways. I dont have any problems with any of the cast. They stuck with low budget actors so they could have more money to do special effects. We all want story and emotion but lets face it…99% of us want to see awesome special effects FIRST!

  133. 5aucy Says:

    The cast isn’t necessarily “low budget” though. Look at the cast of LOTR. Mostly smaller names. Who wants to see a cast like oceans 12 for DB? Big name actors would mean Orlando Bloom as Goku. Leonardo DeCaprio as yamcha. Johnny Depp as piccolo. Etc.

    Yeah, I was purposefully over the top with that.

    But look at the names. If they are not moderately big names, they are definately up and coming.

  134. Jack Says:

    @5aucy

    Let me tell you, ok we are not totally 100% sure they made a different Goku. Fine, let’s keep hope on that at less…

    But what about Roshi? Bulma? Mai? Please,

    they changed the environment, the personalities… They just kept the NAMES
