This movie has even less chance of getting off the ground than the live action Evangelion movie. At least ADV actually raised SOME money and Weta Workshop drew SOME design sketches. The Dragonball movie is, as always, smoke and mirrors.

They're about 10 years too late for a dbz movie.......

so what, I can wait another night before camping out in front of the local theather?
The androids/Cell Saga could make a good movie, up from Trunks coming from the future, to Cell getting his ass kicked by Gohan...
100 Mil isn't half enough for the food nutritions they'll need to get the SSj2 look...

They should actually go for the Brolly look. That or Ultra SSJ.
Less chance indeed. Those Weta sketches were done about 4 or 5 years ago now? Last I heard they were still looking for a director. There's been absolutely no news regarding Eva except for those 4 new animated movies. Really disappointing.
Hey, that didn't stop The Simpsons.They're about 10 years too late for a dbz movie.......

News at last:
Wong Takes on Dragon Ball Z
Source: CHUD October 2, 2007
CHUD has learned from a casting notice that James Wong ("Final Destination" films, The One, "The X-Files") is writing and directing the live action Dragon Ball Z movie for 20th Century Fox. The site has included the casting breakdown, which you can read here.
Dragon Ball Z is adapted from 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.
The film is expected to start production in Montreal in November.

awesomeness.
edit:
wait......
Piccolo is the cursed ruler of a demonic race who nearly destroyed Earth 2000 years ago, and with the coming of the eclipse and the possession of all seven Dragon Balls, he's prepared to free himself and do the job right this time. Crafty and smart, Piccolo has some disturbing news for Goku, namely that the boy is actually a Saiyan who's destined to join Piccolo as his right hand in destroying and enslaving the planet.....
Gohan is struck down by the high ninjas of the Namek-Jins, and as he dies he sends his grandson out to do face his destiny and do battle against them...
wtf.....
no raditz???? no vegeta??? omg..........................
No Mr Satan
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Oh well. No one actually expected this to be good...Piccolo is the cursed ruler of a demonic race who nearly destroyed Earth 2000 years ago, and with the coming of the eclipse and the possession of all seven Dragon Balls, he's prepared to free himself and do the job right this time.

I did.......................
Ugh. Fucking a... this is gonna be another reason for non-anime viewers to think that all anime is childish garbage and that the genre is crap...
Needless to say, I wish they'd chosen someone else to head this up...
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
that plot is uber lame.... DBZ just has way too much content to pull off a successful movie. i dont think i'd want to pay to see it in the theater.
Wait, what the fuck? Oh no....Jesus Christ if you going to make a shitty movie then just don't make one at all.
Hmm...well thats definately not the dbz plot....is that from the original DB seires then (even remotely?), or did they just make a completely new story and keep the character names?
Im assuming the piccolo here is the original piccolo from DB, not from DBZ.
that part about picollo and (grandpa)gohan is completely new
pretty much everything besides the names is made up sadly. goku in high school made me lol.
Stopped reading here...
WTF?[GOKU] 18 years old, Goku is considered uncool and unpopular at school....
OMG are you serious whenever people who makes movies, they really don't know whats going on most of the storylines are always bs, I mean seriously Goku 18........ trying to save the world, when he himself has been doing it ever since he was a kid....... Lets just hope the action is bad ass. If not well......
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."
-Mazer Rackham
So basically, the reaction of everyone (including me) to this movie's plot has been "WTF?" Goku is totally uncool and he somehow -- straying away from Dragon Ball's plot -- grandpa Gohan lives to see his 18th birthday. So they're disregarding everything.
Might as well rename it "Dragon Ball: As Told By That One Guy Who did Final Destination, and Has No Idea What the Hell this Series is About."
Yeah... maybe enough hate mail will kick this movie in the right direction.
Who the hell is this?? I don't even remember her from Dragonball.[MAI] Late 20s, female, her features exotic, sexy but deadly, dressed in gleaming black, with weapons strapped all over her body, she's a martial arts expert and Lord Piccolo's chief enforcer. Crafty and quick thinking, Mai uses her ability to shapeshift near the climax of the movie and takes on the form of Chi Chi, a young martial arts expert who's romantically involved with Goku and later saves Piccolo from Master Roshi's curse; once she is revealed she ends up in the fight of her life.
Seriously? You really thought that a movie condensing the plot of 500-some episodes of 2 anime series while simultaneously catering to a general American audience would somehow do "justice" to the goofy action show you enjoyed as an adolescent? I mean, I loved DBZ too, but give me a break...
It's like the Alvin and the Chipmunks thing. There's no possible way they could make this any good. I'm happy he's still called "Goku", because apart from that, he seems like a different character.
