Ok, I want to set the record straight, for there have been some nasty things said about it me in this forum and I came in here as a friendly guy giving you guys the scoop on the Dragonball, not DBZ, but Dragonball film for that is what it is going to be a Dragonball movie.
Starters, the reason I came out and said that I lied about everything is because somebody in here, I don't know who, went to IMDB and put that I was giving information about the Dragonball movie. I thought that this was a secure and private site for members only and the news only stayed in here, but someone went and spread about me giving information on IMDB and that is not cool, and I expressed my displeasure about this OT, because that isn't cool.
I think everyone in this forum should feel very privileged that I'm giving information regarding this film, although I should not have to, but you guys are HUNGRY for a Dragonball movie and I share your passion because so am I. So, this is the deal, 20th Century FOX doesn't know the property that they have, better yet most of the people here in Hollywood don't know what Dragonball is, especially the high executives and owners of the studios. I mean most people think that it's a children's cartoon, I mean most executives at FOX, they don't realize that it is a cult favorite that will end up being even bigger than STAR WARS. Really, the movies that people are talking about here in Hollywood is SUPERMAN and Star Wars. NOw, Star Wars I understand, but Superman? GIve me a break, we've already seen SUperman, and I talked with Ben a few weeks ago and he stated that the executives don't know what they're doing because this a new generation of filmgoers, we are into things like SPiderman and Dragonball, and Anime, and New Stuff. SUPERMAN is old, and done with, we've already seen that and I'm not saying that we won't go see the movie, but I can tell you that I won't go see it more than once, which like SPiderman we all probably went and saw three or four times.
BEn was telling me that when he goes home he gets so many questions asked about the DRagonball movie, that he feels like a celebrity, and he gets alot of emails concerning the film. He thinks the film will make alot of money at the box office if it is done right, because this is a NEW GENERATION. We don't want to see Superman, we want to see STAR WARS because we want to see how Anakin became DARTH VADER, but we don't want to see SUPERMAN
which brings me to my point. DRAGONBALL is the next big, huge, monstrous property here in Hollywood, it is jus that the executives do not know what they have, and I would tell you the details of the meeting that happened last month at FOX but I'm not because I may look on IMDB and see the information posted, so this is what I'm going to do.
I'll give you guys bits and pieces of information regarding the film, so to keep my butt out of HOT WATER with the FOX studios I'll give you guys minor details of what's happening.
Okay, Ben has to write another script for the studio, he has already written four versions of a script, the first script followed the DRagonball story to a tea, like when GOku first meets Bulma, and he goes to meet the turtle hermit and they go off to fire mountain and MAster roshi distinguishes the fire with the Kamehamehaa wave, and it was a good script. I actually liked it, but that was the very first script. The recent one is when GOKU is a teenager, and the main characters are Roshi, Piccolo, Bulma and GOku, with Yamcha, Mai, Pilaf, and SHou playing major roles in the movie. But he has to write another script because..., well i'll leave it at that because I don't want to give out too much information.
the main thing is this is that the Dragonball movie is going to be made, the SAD NEWS is that 20th Century is not treating this as one of their BIG RELEASE movies, because people in Hollywood don't know about the worldwide popularity of the Dragonball phenomenom, because they think that X-Men is thier next STAR WARS, there is already a beef between FOx and Superman because they stole their director Brian SInger, and they are going to try to stand up Warner Brothers with XMEN, but if they were REALLY SMART THEY WOULD MAKE DRAGONBALL AGAINST SUPERMAN.
SO THAT'S THE NEWS, I'LL TALK TO YA'LL LATA

I never really know wether he is telling the truth or not. I guess its just because i want to believe him, but he makes it hard for the people who do want to believe him with his crazy and conflicting stories... Aww well, gives us something to talk about.
...of course he knows that only staff members can lock it...
)
and telling us again that he "will" give us info and such.
