....They're making movies?!?! Why didn't anyone freaking tell me?!!
Although, I must admit.. never have I come across such ridiculous casting.. I nearly laughed myself sick. My poor mother had no idea why I was so hysterical.
So this is my response - created just because I couldnt even begin to picture any of the actors in their roles... and, yes, I know Vegeta isn't in the first movie (I don't understand that... how will there be a plot? Also: where the hell is Krillin?!) but the Director has said he wants Joaquin Phoenix for Vegeta in the second one (him or Jonathan Rhys Meyers - nuuuu! I'm baised tho... the prospect of my favourite actor playing one of my favourite characters was too squeal-inducing)..
Yup.. so, left to right it goes:
James Marsters as Piccolo (lol wtf?)
Jamie Chung as Chichi (ok, I'll give them that one)
Justin Chatwin as Goku (... I don't get it, he looks too meek.. not to mention caucasian)
Joaquin Phoenix as Vegeta (... lol
Emmy Rossum as Bulma (she's a little too doe-eyed for me.. Bulma should be someone who screams spunk.. Emmy sort of just.. sings)
K. I'm done now. I'll just go back to laughing at them all. Oooh lord.. they must have been on some good shit when they casted that puppy!
All characters copyright ~ their respective owners.. I'm assuming there's a few now what with movie rights and all... I'm not trying to rob any of you

You have no idea how much I'm laughing at how Vegeta's facial expression looks to me, this is awesome.

This picture is great.
And the DBZ movie was dreadful (not that I watched much of it.... it's existence pissed me off too much. LOL)

James marsters was a good piccolo, he just had very little screentime and little to no character development. Chatwin was just.... white, brown-haired and in need of a few extra acting lessons.
I think Jaoquin Pheonix could definitely pull off a decent Vegeta, at least he has the look (from the pics i've seen of him)

I agree with you about everything Except Emmy, I actually think she kind of fits. And there's no Vegeta because he's in DBZ this is a Dragonball movie. And don't know why but I always saw Piccolo as a black guy. I think Christopher Judge (the guy who plays Tilk in Stargate) would be the perfect Piccolo [link] not scrawny friggin Spike from Buffy

Yeah, I've since figured out why there was no Vegeta xDD
And after seeing the proper trailer I kinda agree about Emmy, too.. at least they gave her a blue streak
I thought of Piccolo as black too!! I think it was the voice.. it always seemed so deep and.. black XD

OMG!! I totally agree with you! I love Piccolo and I was so pissed off when I saw that James Marsters was playing him!!! (There were tears...) but I supposed that he would be alright for Piccolo's father, because of the gaunt face. I agree with you and I also don't like who Yamcha is being played by either! Grrr!! And where are Tenshinhan and Chaozu?! Argh!

I saw the trailer not so long ago.. and it doesn't look remotely like Dragonball... so I'm still clinging to the vain hope that maybe it will be an alright movie within its own right.... I'm doubtful, though :C

"I know Vegeta isn't in the first movie (I don't understand that... how will there be a plot?"
Because the first movie is based on Dragonball, not Dragonball Z.

I would have told you about the movie if I had known that you DIDN'T know. But news of there being more than 1 movie planned is umm...NEWS to me. I'm actually really excited. I don't care about the casting. I think they'll be able to do more with this movie now than they would have been able to do in the 90s (though my brother tells me there WAS a movie made in the 90s about a young Goku). 90s superhero movies sucked for the most part for looking like rejected episodes of the Power-rangers.

lol yeah I reckon I must be the last dragonball fan to find out.
I'm excited for the prospect of more movies simply becuz of Vegeta - whether he be played by Phoenix or not. I've always loved him more than I should.
Yeah, regardless of the casting I'm excited too. Hopefully it's good. And 90s superhero movies were so terrible lol.. but it was nice that they didn't seem so at the time. How so much obviously synthetic material could have ever looked good I do not know though..

We have so much in common. Vegeta's definitely my favourite character. I'm always going around quoting him (in his voice).

el o el spike as piccolo XD man id been waiting for this movie since WAYWAY back when they first anounced it and was a total DBZ junkie.
you did such a good job getting the features of the actors, especialy Vegeta/Phoenix. He's workin those spikes

If I'd known they were making one I'd have been obsessing too.. and normally I do know about films from when their pre-production is a mere rumour, so I was so surprised by this lol.
I still can't take the casting seriously.. Unless Joaquin does do Vegeta... that would pretty much make my year ..and yeah, the spikes do sporta suit him. It'll be like Emperor Commodus (Gladiator) cept without the incest and more unfortunate jokes played upon him xD

genesis-spiral [2008-04-06 02:49:56 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, they should've had a cast for characters like these.
Goku - Jackie Chan
Chichi - ...Jamie Chung works just fine, you're right
Gohan - I don't know. Mabey Cole Sprouse?
Krillin - ???
Piccolo - David Draiman (from Disturbed)
Vegeta - some random male Eurasian actor
Bulma - Jessica Simpson
Master Roshii - I guess Quentin Tarantino since Pat Morita is dead. Quentin would be funny as a perverted old man like he was a blind street preacher from Little Nicky
Freeza - either Rosalinda Celentano or Marilyn Manson (Rosalinda is a woman who played a transsexual Satan in Passion of the Christ. She'd be great playing as Freeza for the movie)
Nappa - Stone Cold Steve Austin
Raditz - Ozzy Osbourne
But with it's current cast like this, I don't know how that movie will be sucessful.

Jackie Chan is too old.
Cole Sprouse is too old to be Gohan in the Saiyan Saga.
David Draiman couldn't play an old King Piccolo.
Jessica Simpson... Just no.
Quentin Tarantino, not exactly the most 'old Asian man' looking actor around.
Ozzy Osbourne is in his hundreds, at least.
Unless of course, you're joking. In which case it should actually be funny.

I'm hoping the cast is so crazy it all just sort of works.
I couldn't agree more with the people you've put for Piccolo, Master Roshii (lol, Quentin would do that so well), Freeza and Nappa (lol! Ozzy Osbourne as Raditz.. that's so funny in my head)..
I think Jackie Chan would be too old for Goku.. but I do think Goku should have been Asian.
Oh well.. like I said hopefully it will somehow just work.

lol it really REALLY does! I could hardly believe it! I'm hoping that maybe it's so farfetched that somehow it will all just come together.
Shyamalan directing Avatar? .. What the hell?! I mean.. I'm sure he could do it.. but everyone will go into it thinking that it's supposed to be scary and get disappointed lol.
And live-action Sailor Moon? I think you're right about the Apocolypse... or the Westen film industry is finally running out of books to adapt and crappy sequels to make and they're starting on anime.
Live-action Pokemon here we come!

It better be. DBZ is a part of my childhood!
Sixth Sense wasn't that horrible... but then again The Villiage was sooooooooooooooooooooo disapointing.
Hollywood will never stop! They will justkep remaking film. (At least Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wasn't a live action movie.. but it still bombed. And Transformres was a good movie)
I'd actually go to see that... as long as Ash didn't look like a 20 year old instead of pre-pudesent boy.

They're turning Sailor Moon into a live action movie too... God save us, because I think this is a sign of the apocalypse... especially now that M. Night Shyamalan is supposed to be directing the Avartar: Last Air Bender movie...
