My opionion on the DBZ movie status

[CellReborn]

Has anyone ever bothered to post what they said about Fox making the DBZ movie on the Official DBZ website.

NO LIFE IN THE "DRAGONBALL" LIVE ACTION MOVIE? by Otherworld Steve

I literally JUST got off the phone with FOX Studios in Los Angeles, CA. I asked outright about the upcoming live action Dragon Ball/Z movie.

This is exactly what I was told by my contact:

"The Dragon Ball Z movie? We don't have that. I 've got a lot of calls about that so I called around [the studio]. We won't be making that [movie]."

So there you have it, folks. That is the OFFICIAL story from FOX. I know some of you may be disappointed, but I also think it's a blessing.

I know they have had that for a long time on the dbz website.

Im sure if there was any change in the status of the movie it would have been brought to our attention through that site.

But here is something I was thinking. With the re-release of the first three sagas on dvd completely uncut, I think that if the dvd sales are outragous then new life will spring into the movie.

Remember fox looks at these things. Example: Family Guy the series was cancled off of fox. They released it on DVD and it made record high sales. And now they have brought the show back and there soon will be new episodes.

So I am thinking that if the sales of DBZ suck there will be no movie, if they are good, but among the average sales a new DBZ release gets, there will possibly be a movie but leaning toward doubtful. if the sales are the biggest in DBZ history, then they will probably rethink the idea for a movie. But if you look at fox's history they watch things like this.

(and yes I do know that fox doesn't get anything from the dvd sales.)

Well accordingly to many sites, DBZ is highly searched in their databases. Fox investigative teams should have picked up on this if they paid attention to what people want. However, Fox has made no such word on news concerning the movie. In my opinion they are ignorant of what they have and are also being stupid about the current situation.

Agree

[CellReborn]

Yeah, but then again how many of those searches are by the same people. Just because there is 4000 or 5000 searches for something doesn't mean that 4000 different people searched for it. It can be some of the same people searching more than once.

Now I'm not trying to say I don't wont the movie made, I am just stating my opionions.

I agree with you partially on that, cellreborn, but without violating personal privacy rights, there is no way that Fox can tell whether or not that is one person searching 4000 times or 4000 people searching once. Fox knows what they have, and they are waiting til the oppurtune moment to release information. Look how much hype there is after virtually nothing being released, and there has been no information since 2002. They will probably wait until they start to lose us, release a teaser poster, get us going again, wait for that to get old, release something else, etc.

What makes you say that? FUNimation has absolutely nothing to do with FOX or the live action movie rights. Why would FOX give FUNimation any information on the status of the movie? They wouldn't, and just because some (insert derogatory comment here) from a lame dragonballz website (yes the official FUNimation dbz site is the worst) calls and talks to a PR who does their job and claims to know nothing doesn't mean FUNimation or dragonballz.com have anything to do with FOX.

I think that this people are just trying to make us believe that there is no movie, i mean those f****rs maybe are not DBZ fans! just think about it!

My opinion is pretty simple: I think Fox has just been having problems to make the movie...I don't think that they haven't paid enough attention to it, I just think that there has been some things in the way of making this movie.

[SaiyanSpirit]

like I said before Fox should sell the rights to another company if you can do that. because i'm sure some other company wants to do this movie and not wait around for forever. and as for the no life in DB thing I've seen it before and I think he's not telling us what really happened on the phone he saying this cause he doesn't want this movie to happen.

If you had them sell it, to whom they sell it to?
