20th Century Fox has pushed back the studios' big screen Dragonball adaptation from August 15, 2008 to April 3, 2009. On the old date, it was facing The International, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Tropic Thunder and Wild Child, while it is currently by itself on the new date.

Written and directed by James Wong, the movie stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson.

Dragonball is based on the manga created by Akira Toriyama; the work was also turned into a Japanese anime series that played all over the world. It tells the story of an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys.

ern, they started production in January and they wanted to release it in August. That's why. Fox never cease to amaze me, really.

It's because of the dailies, and I hope they decide to recast Goku, or either make him bulk up.

I want to see the movie no question, but what I have a problem with is the people they cast to play the chracters. Now, I know the people that cast the people to play the characters, I know they seen Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, THINK!!!! you cast a caucasian to play Goku, all those orientals in Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, you wanna cast a caucasian, that is dumb, the good things about that movie is the writers, and that Stephen Chow is producing.

hagiz, you're so stupid. The shooting started 2 months ago only. It's simply IMPOSSIBLE to create all special effects in just 4 months. Almost all movies with so many special effects need at least 10 months. And furthermore, it's a proof that they do believe in the movie, as they think now it doesn't need the summer rush to be a success.
