Dragon Ball Thread - RIP Akira Toriyama

That is interesting, I'll have to check that out. I had a Japanese import copy and had to use a mod chip for my ps1 to run it.

That game would have been awesome if the controls weren't so sluggish

Rumor: A Live-Action Disney Dragon Ball Movie Is Possibly In Development - Siliconera

A new rumor has suggested that it a live action Disney Dragon Ball movie could be in development.

www.siliconera.com

A rumor has surfaced about another live-action Dragon Ball movie. Allegedly, Disney is supposedly working on an adaptation of the show. This suggestion comes from We Got This Covered, the same source that suggested a live-action version of Return of Jafar could be in development ahead of Aladdin’s producer, Dan Lin, saying in a SyFy Wire interview that they were “certainly talking about another movie.”
When it comes to the possible Disney Dragon Ball movie, there are very few details available right now about this potential project. The only information provided from the sources noted it would have an Asian cast and big budget.
As for past Dragon Ball live action movies, one people might recall is Dragonball Evolution. This 2009 movie from 20th Century Fox did not have an Asian cast, was very loosely adapted from the source material, and had James Marsters, who played Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as Lord Piccolo. It is important to note that was a 20th Century Fox film, and Disney acquired that as part of the 21st Century Fox acquisition on March 20, 2019.
The next Dragon Ball video game will be Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, which will come to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Japan on January 16, 2020, then to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in North America and Europe in early 2020.

remember this shit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uiho8HLI3A DBZ tv commercials
it's crazy how popular DBZ was or still is, for a time it was the #1 search term on altavista or one of those other pre-google search engines iirc

For the love of god please no.

The Chinese government could monitor them filming it. The Red Ribbon Army will now represent Imperial Japan, and Goku has to stop them.

Wegotthiscovered is a trash rumor site

 

[Biffo]

Tons of fake rumours, however Disney got to make the most of the Fox assets which one of them is DB movie rights in the west, however I really don't know if there is much of a market for it

But if they did that they would help DB animated {which is a sony joint)

>TFW the future holds either a woke live action disnified DBZ or...... this

 

[WeWuzFinns]

We know that the movie will be shit, but I wonder if all these critics, influencers and other Disney sycophants will pretend that it is actually good just like with the new star wars trilogy.

 

[Atatata]

I believe it. Toriyama is a sell out hack.

You give them too much credit, there's no way they'd make Goku buff or light skinned.

The first rule of the Disney Star Wars trilogy is WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FUCKING DISNEY STAR WARS TRILOGY.

 

[Crichax]

This didn't need its own thread.

 

[Queen Of The Harpies]

While I don't want this to happen, it couldn't be any worse than the first 'attempt'.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

I believe it. Toriyama is a sell out hack.

to be fair, Evolution is the reason why we even have new DB animation to begin with.

'Course, Super was a flaming turd looking back on it.

If the rumour is true, it's a movie almost certainly being made primarily for a Chinese audience above even a North American audience so your joke might not be too far off from the truth.

 

[Tism the Return]

I can only approve of this if Sean Scammer gets the main role and they rename the character Soyku.

A decade or two ago I might've trusted Disney to recapture the outlandish whimsy of early Dragon Ball, but with how bland and anemic their recent live action adaptations were I'm not very interested. I'd rather wait for the next DBS movie Toei is allegedly working on.

to be fair, Evolution is the reason why we even have new DB animation to begin with.

'Course, Super was a flaming turd looking back on it.

Eh, DBS might've been mediocre on the whole, but it had some good moments here and there, not to mention the recent Broly movie was a pretty great spectacle of hand-drawn animated awesomeness.
