Hier ein paar news zu Dragonball:
Interview mit Justin Chatwin (bin zu dieser Uhrzeit zu faul zum Übersetzen):
My source in Japan has translated the October issue of Roadshow magazine. Every scan was previously released so we wont post them, but the interviews with Justin Chatwin (Goku) and 87 Eleven (stunts) are new.
Justin Chatwin interview
First of all, its an honor to play Goku, because he is a very important and epic character. He is always seeing the positive side of things, does good things, and always trys to help and take care of the weak, not only pursuing his power. He is a dependable and loving man as well as a boy. So I like Goku.
In preparation for the role, of course I read the original manga (all of it), in addition, I read Monkey King a little, because Dragonball is based on Monkey King. And during the break time of shooting, I got into Gokus character, telling jokes with other cast in search of the real communication which can be used in acting.
This is the most interesting movie for me. Because I have never fought with anyone though, I trained martial arts and acrobat, and then we shot it. Thats fun as well as challenging. Fighting with Eriko (Tamura), she punched me in the face, actually she intended to hit lightly, but¦it was a clean hit (laugh) She said Im sorry! and apologized to me, but thanks to her, we could shoot very powerful action scene. Through this work, I think I could learn a lot of things.
I like Durango very much. Because a lot of my favorite movie like The Wild Bunch was shot here. And there are locations like sand dunes, cave, lava field and rocky hill like the Grand Canion, so I think the background of this movie are very epic.
Highlights of this movie are the action scenes, and amazing visual effects will be made at post production, so Im looking forward to see it. About Kamehameha I only can imagine it now. Im so excited. And this movie is the coming-of-age story about a boy, though this is set in a sci-fi world, in my opinion, my best scene is the moment when the characters who got together for the same purpose relate to each other.
Action coordinator 87eleven staff interview
Each characters has a different fighting style. For example, Gokus fighting style is a hybrid of capoeira, karate and so on. Chi-Chis fighting style is based on kick boxing (Muay Thai) style, Master Roshi and Gohan are based on traditional Chinese martial arts (southern style). Justin has good muscle strength of the lower body so to harness this strength, we let him do action. His capoeira motion is very good. He has no experience of martial arts at all, we had to teach him from scratch. But he is doing very well for two months training period.
Highlight of this movie is fighting with Goku and Piccolo, I think it has a tremendous impact. Goku and Gohans fight is comical, and Chi-Chi does Jackie Chan-like battle. Each character has a unique twist on martial arts.

News Nummer zwei:
Fox ist sehr froh mit Dragonball!!!
Hier auch noch auf Englisch für die, die gerne einen auf translator machen
:
The film was completed a while ago, and the reasons for moving the films release date from this summer to next spring was to insure that all of the needed special effects were completed. We have a source that is very close to the film. And he/she says that the first edit is done, and that it has been shown to those higher ups at Fox. And that they love the finished film. Our studio contact, who we arent allowed to name at the moment, worked on the production, and has seen the completed movie. Everyone involved seems to think they have a hit on their hands, and he even went on to say that it was pretty darn awesome. There is certainly talk about a sequel. I have no doubt that it will happen. Im sure that it will be a trilogy.Â
If you are anxiously awaiting Dragonball, dont be scared by these sudden rumors that the film is being scrapped or sent directly to home video. That is certainly not the case. Dragonball is still set for a April 3rd, 2009 release date.

Sind für mich recht gute Neuigkeiten, besonders wenn man bedenkt, dass eine Zeit lang das Gerücht herumging das Fox Dragonball garnicht mochte und ihn deshalb canceln wollte (zum Glück nur eine Falschmeldung gewesen).
Ich hoffe das geht so weiter mit den guten News (und hoffentlich bald ein Trailer)
