ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! talked exclusively to Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum, James Marsters and Jamie Chung about starring in Dragonball: Evolution, opening in theaters on Friday, April 10.

In the big screen adaptation of the popular Japanese manga created by Akira Toriyama, Chatwin plays the heroic Goku, a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the Universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name. Rossum is Bulma, a beautiful woman intent on retrieving the mystical Dragonballs for her own reasons; Chung is Chi Chi, a young martial artist who captures Goku's eye; and Marsters plays the villain, Lord Piccolo.

This movie is definitely going to BOMB. I mean not only does it not look that great but I'm sure it could find an audience...IF PEOPLE KNEW THAT IT WAS COMING OUT. 20th Century Fox and done and ATROCIOUS job and advertising this movie. There are hardly any TV spots, theatrical trailers are far and few, no news, I would be surprised to find out about this movie if I weren't actively keeping up on movie news. This movie will not necessary be bad, I really like Justin Chatwin and James Marsters and I'm sure they've done a great job, but the reason this movie will bomb box office wise is the LOUSY job Fox has done promoting this movie. I mean if it did well enough, and GOD knows it has a fan base, but If it did well enough it could turn into a franchise, but fox dropped the ball. Well done.

We saw the ultimate fighting scenes in Matrix Revolution, we saw hilarious ultimate fighting scene in Kungfu Hustle ... that's DB fighting scene supposed to be ... but in DB Evolution? Worse than Power Ranger tv movie!
It has been 2 weeks ago I saw the movie .. but the anger & rage is still on

Absolutely! I dont mind with the alteration like Go Ku is teenager, no Krilin, Roshi not bald .. as long as they make the movie seriously and full of respect ... Go see the movie! and you will realise that Fox has no respect at all at DB .. Even as independence movie, this movie is crap!
They only make it for making money only .. coz they know dont matter how bad the movie at least the fans will see it in cinema because of their curiousity!

Another thing for example ... the kamehame energy 'laser' ball is essential in DB world .. it showed powerful high impact weapon .. but in this movie they make it like tinkerbell magic star dust ... its just so so lame.
What do you feel if Bryan Singer has made Cyclops laser blast just as a light spray, for example??

See, Emmy fought for the blue hair! But I'll admit that it looked kinda strange (at least in the photo I saw).

See, the changes in this movie from the manga and TV show DON'T BOTHER ME! Needless to say I don't take it as seriously as some of the other rabid fan-tards around teh internetz, but I still hold Dragonball close to my heart. I'm just one of the few people who actually see it as an adaption...not a recreation. Some of you will understand that...but most of you will remain ignorant. And that's a shame.

I never understand why they cast Chatwin. Because there are plenty of aspiring Asian Actors out there. Why not give the Asian people a chance to portray their own Asian Super Hero?

@Stan : the changes of the story is not essential in this judgement, but the craftmenship of making this movis is a big problem!! Did you see the fight scene? Did you see the Go Ku character?
Supposed this movie dont related at all with Dragonball, supposed the DB comic never exist before .. this movie is still ultra mega crap in all aspect of filmmaking!!!
OK fine, let us wait until Rottentomatoes critics give their opinion as neutral audience.
