20th Century Fox may have extended the title of its upcoming "Dragon Ball" adaptation to Dragonball Evolution. If it's indeed the new title the studio is going with, we should find out for sure soon.

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

Opening in theaters on April 8, the film is based on the manga created by Akira Toriyama.

UPDATE: 20th Century Fox has also registered the domain name DragonballEvolutionmovie.com, which currently takes you to FoxMovies.com.

Gee, how original. We can just ignore the fact that the word "evolution" has been overused as movie poster subtitles a billion and a half times! That's usually a good sign.

It's just another way of distancing itself from the actual series. LAME!!!!!!

This is horrible... Why is Goku in Highschool? Why are there new characters when the stories have so many to work with?

One thing is certain: this movie is going to suck hard...

If you guys want to complain about a title go right ahead, but I'd be happy that they're trying to make it appeal to a more broad audience. Dragonball is less off putting with the Evolution in the title. And Wat?, what movies besides Evolution and Underworld Evolution have been used?

seriously,, another way of saying it has nothing to do with the Dragonball manga, except the use of characters.

what is the point of adding evolution to the title? just calling it Dragon ball is fine then with the next one call it Dragon ball z, then after that they can give it subtitles there is no point in doing it now.
