The Japanese trailers for the live action Dragon Ball Evolution have made it online.
See them now. Presumably they'll be pulled sooner or later.
In other DragonBall notes...
Jamie Chung spoke about the reshoots to MTV Splash Page.
Singer Ayumi Hamasaki has signed on to perform the theme song, entitled "Rule", for the movie.
Anime News Network reports that otaku (extreme fan) comedian Teruyuki Tsuchida was to have a cameo in the film, but decline the role due to scheduling.
Update
The trailer is now online officially here

-
Bulletproof Monk shite. Jesus this has bomb written all over it.
-
The people in the reaction videos seemed disturbed and sad.
-
Almost first. I am deff going to see this, even though it will blow dick.
-
I really don't...I may rent it...
-
in school-girl uniforms..i'll watch it (preferably alone with some tissue)
-
I never thought this day would come. But I always knew there was no way this could be good in live action format, that being said. I am so seeing this opening weekend.
-
I am so ashamed.

I wonder if the Japanese see this film the same way
by shut the fuck up donny

-
You too Power Rangers, and Mortal Combat (actually MC, your were ok). Save us from this shitfest. God, I cannot believe how awful that trailer was.
-

Please tell me there are asian subtitles for the American releas
by somashine
that would be be better then having two legs
-
They couldn't even find enough well read lines to populate a trailer with. "Cool" and "Who are you?" both sounded like they were about to die from an overdose on Xanax. The wire work looks terrible, the action looked slow and the plot completely retarded. I hope all of you that go see this never complain about Hollywood churning out watery shit over and over. It's because retards like you gladly lap it up. So thanks for that.
-
like really, guys get off on this shit..no wonder there are so many murderers and rapist out there
-
...were this kid actor. You always wanted to be an actor...probably saw Raging Bull 5693 times or something...been banging away at it for a while and things are looking pretty bleak. You're probably thinking of taking the money you have left and going to college, getting a real job. Then along comes this movie!...the lead role!....but...it's about Dragon Testicles. But hey, the paycheck will let you try your luck for a couple more years...besides, Dragonball must have a couple of hot girl fans out there you could bang....right? But it's too late...you are now....That Kid From The Dragonball Movie. The end. No Raging Bull for you. Hell, no Red Bull for you...
-
I have no idea what this is or why I should know.
-
So, Miyazaki's films are the lowest form of entainment? Methinks you're generalizing what anime is, sir.
-
Bulma.
-
So, I guess it's an accurate adaption. Good job!
-
i don't know what it is about cartoon or video game movie adaptations- they all look the same. costumewise, set-wise, lighting...etc looks like it takes itself way too seriously. why can't they just have FUN?
-
that Miyazaki's works count as films, not anime!
-
And the problem is, all my retarded friends will want to see this!
-
The irony is that the only people that would ever see a movie called "Dragonball" (or "Dragonball: Evolution", for that matter) are fans of the show, but any fan of the show would tell you not to make this movie because it won't work in live action. Regardless, the trailer look a cartoon with its highly saturated colors. I was annoyed with this venture since it started, but I will see it, maybe or maybe not in theaters.
PS: Who wants the end of the movie involves the arrival of Vegeta, teasing the sequel that will never be made. -
What is this hold that Dragonball has over the AICN community? Must we keep paying lip service to it??
-
I AM A SAIYIN PRINCE
-
It is what I expected.
-
... too bad they didn't go all-out silly with this. Could have been fun. This looks like shyte though.

Well, Piccolo's greeen, there's capsules, fanservice...
by anna valerious
Good job. However, there's a lot of things that Fox needs to work on, like making sequels to some other films...and marketing them better...
-
but got so tired of it. and why does Bulma look so fucking ugly? seriously she's hard to look at. she looks like some trashy hoochy with drawn-on eyebrows.
-
I take back every bad thing I ever said about Speed Racer.
-
some asian in a school girl outfit get raped by a 7 dicked tentical monster, then a shemale (also in a school girl outfit) saves the girl and rapes her in the assshow me one anime that doesn't involve that plot
-
I really will pass on this. This movie looks awful.
-
'nuff said.
-
Yeah, the porn version will be better.
-
Well, Piccolo IS green.
There's the Kame Hame wave
And there's massive destruction.
Did Tom Rothman get fired ?
-
Should've been big budget anime
-
I have argued that Goku should not be a white guy, even though people have argued he's an alien and I have responded so was superman...blah blah blah......that being said I take it all back cause this movie will SUCK MASSIVE DONKEYBALLS and I would not want an Asian actor in the lead to take the blame. So sorry!
-
Nyeeeh.
-
Okay, I'll take the troll-bait this once...there are hundreds of anime that don't have that plot and you are obviously just trolling because you're ten years old and need something to do while mommy makes your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and hot cocoa.
-
I'm a big DB fan and this looks retarded. Yun Fat as Roshi...
FUCK THIS SHITE! -
We HAVE to find the Dragonballs!! When? Before the Eclipse!! Holy shit!!!! Terrible. Looks like it should be released in tandem with a Mortal Kombat movie. I love DBZ, but this shit is unforgivable.
-
EEEHEHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! EEEHHHHHHHH!
What a horrrible trailer. Seriously, when you have stupid yelling for the last ten seconds, you know the movie's going to be bad. -
this will tank hard. Where's the teleporation air battles with laser blasts that take out entire mountains? Instead we have your standard wire-fu stuff which stopped being cutting edge in this country since Crounching Tiger. And superhero energy battles resembling an episode of Heroes. The only hope of a movie is to go all out and be wild like the cartoon....because it ain't gonna be the storyline, obviously.
-
...with a staff!
This movie is going to suck ass. -
....you'd have to wipe it
-
Certainly looks like it to me.
-
The sets look as cheap as the ones from the Power Rangers shows my son used to watch too.
-
YOUR SCOUTER MUST BE BROKEN... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
-
Now true Dragonball fanZ might have a taste as to how us Transformers fans feel. Not too good huh? Well this trailer shows a b-movie, low profile, low budget movie that can easily, easily be rebooted some day by a good director with good financial backing. Us Transformer fans are not in the same situation. Our injury is far deeper and more painful, and more public was our humiliation.
-
I wish this had Krillin and the little pig man.
-
I'll see it.
-
That's the funniest entry I've seen on this site in a long time
-
That they even dared to show this.

Samus Aran, Neo Zeed.. this isn't *supposed* to be Dragonball Z
by dreamwriter
It's Dragonball - the original series, before the action went so way super over-the-top. Unfortunately, most of Dragonball was a comic story of the various characters searching for (and occasionally fighting over) the Dragonballs, so not quite a good fit for a big-budget action movie. It was mainly aimed at kids (whereas Dragonball Z was aimed at teenagers).
Having said that, this trailer doesn't look terribly bad to me. They could have made something really horrible, instead it just looks like your average summer action movie. -
i don't think transformers was as bad as you make it to be, i'm a fan of that series too and i didn't feel humilliated by it. And the DB movie it looks bad because there's no way in hell this movie could look good.
-
That's really the only explanation I can think of for his career choices in the last decade.
-
I'm seeing it just to see the hot and cute looking girls fight! Of course the movie looks like it's made for t.v., but....who cares! There's hot asian girls in it! And the really cute Emmy Whatshername! I just want to kick back in the theater for 90 minutes, drinking my soda, eating popcorn, and letting my mind go blank watching hot girls on the screen. You know...RELAXING! Then once it's over I'll go back to work and deal with the complications of the world and stuff.
-
Wire work is just as fun as "real" martial arts movies -- they are not mutually exclusive!This looks like something Tsui Hark would make -- very "Zu"-esque.
-
Emmy Rossum is cute as a button. I wouldn't pay to see a Fox movie anyway, but she makes it worth a theater hop. Hopefully something good opens the same weekend.
-
Goku is a happy go lucky guy, what is this toned down, I'm too cool for school Goku they're trying to feed us? No thanks, I'm not even going to bother seeing this on dvd.
-
Part two. This is the stupidest looking thing I've seen, since the first Spirit Trailer.One word. . . .BOMB!
FOX is pulling tons of shit from it's ass and calling them movies.
No Thanks. -
how gay this looks. Aside from Asian chicks it has nothing going for it.
-
Always with words like "Evolution"!!? and "Rife of" "X" and number word play of 2 and 4!!!!
What the fuck!!!
I hate hollywood!!!!! -
No doubt. Still looked like shit though.
-
and talent. Although the busty asian actress was hot, as was Emmy Rossum as Bulma.
-
But not very dragonball-ish... It looks entertaining in a better power rangers kind of way... Well I'll watch this free when it comes on TV which it inevitably will, perhaps soon.
-
biggest dissapiontments in my life... Ever since I was a little kid I dreamed of a Dragonball movie. But this is only Dragonball in name.
-
Its not even Dragonball in name anymore... Its "Dragonball Evolution." Fucking idiots.
-
Looks pretty terrible. Roshi especially.
-
Hey "This looks like shit, but I'm seeing it anyways" guys. Please kill yourself.
At least pay for a different movie if you're stupid enough to go see this abomination.
Don't encourage the Hollywood hacks from their raping and pillaging. -
I'm a Transformer fan AND a Dragonball fan.
So yeah, I'd love to see an earthquake swallow Hollywood whole about now. -
so this looks like goofy ass fun to me. AND it has Emma Rossum in it...*siiighhhhh*
-
Beacause I am going to be SOOOOOOOO drunk when I walk in to see it...
-
Seriously, this is probably worse than Jake Gyllenhall as the PRINCE OF PERSIA.
Next, Tom Hanks stars as MARTIN LUTHER KING. -
But it could still be fun. Christ, that first live action Ninja Turtles movie was a fucking ABORTION but it still somehow managed to be a fun movie.
-
YouTube is blocked at work; finally got to see this.
Looks like absolute dogshit. If the Dragonballs hadn't been mentioned/shown in the trailer I wouldn't have known that's what this was.
And don't diss the first TMNT movie too much; at least that movie tried to be somewhat faithful to the source material. -
but in a good way, Ok my interest is piqued, I think this will be worth a matinee at least.
-
And this is easily the worst live action adaptation of an anime series ever! It looks like shit. The acting looks bad, and the CGI is god awful! :(
-
I guess you didn't see the live action Gundam movie then.

Pardon me for commenting on property I have little interest in..
by hillvalley
... But isn't Dragonball Z a story that's better realized in animated form? The sight of two human beings martial arts fighting while hovering 20 ft in the air looks awkward and jarring. Are they going to have the anthropomorphic pig in this movie?I wish I could have been a fly on the wall during one of the producer meetings. "Okay, Piccolo can be green, but no antennae. General audiences won't get the antennae. And make sure all the leads are cast by cocky, ironic, white Americans. The kids eat that forced attitude up, who cares if they actually have convincing bodies or fighting skills!"
-
I've seen a few episodes of Dragonball Z and some of the other series, but seriously... WHAT THE FUCK? The trailer made no sense in or out of context of the show.I can understand if they were pandering the the viewers or the non-viewers, but from my standpoint, they weren't pandering to anyone at all... just showing random clips from a movie with a random fucking script. Then again, I am drunk, but you'd think that would make it more entertaining.
-
Right off the bat in the trailer, they completely shit all over the story line. No Kami? Goku has no confidence in his fighting abilities? Seriously, CONFIDENCE was his defining characteristic in the Anime. A big FUCK YOU goes right to Tom Rothman and the people at Fox.
-
Stuck with this crappy movie. I hope she's at least doing a version of Cha-La Head-Cha-La.

What the fuck is Chow Yun Fat doing in this crapfest?
by motoko kusanagi
I mean, seriously! WHAT? THE? FUCK? That trailer looked awful!!!
-
horrible.
Just horrible. -

Oh jeeze, you KNOW they're gonna remake it in 3 years anyways.
by mike_d
so you might as well go see it you bunch of drama queens!
-
why not save your money and DL Asian Porn something tells me you'll be a hell of lot more satisfied.
-
the whole mess of a film around her is not...
-
Just wondering. Oh, and this film looks like a steaming mound of tweed - I know these films are for 'da kidz' and all brains should be left at the door, but (imho) what tends to outright murder these films for me is the unforgivably cock-hungry dialogue. A good script can work wonders of even the lousiest of stories!
-
That is all
-
I can't wait for the movie! James M sounds perfect.

This looks like the best action movie since Bullet Proof Monk!
