Check out this video, from a Japanese fan who's suggesting who should take up the live action roles. This is more or less a wish list based on appearance only, and has no links with the movie. I'll have to say some of his choices are definately spot on.

You are spot on Psyke, that video is awesome. It's even cooler that I actually know half of those actors/actresses and from a visual standpoint, they are excellent matches. Thanks for the link.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
No Dragonball Movie this Year
Source: Superhero Hype! March 5, 2008
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.

If they fear other movies, they will never make it.Originally Posted by Psyke
The date is now free of oponents now. But in the months to come who knows?
So if some big hit arises and screens around the same time, they will give up again?
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
There's nothing that suggests in the article that the reason for moving the dates was because of fear of competition. We don't know the details, but my intuition is that they probably need to reshoot some scenes, add the cgi shit, etc. Quite few movies have been delayed already, many because of the effects of the Writer's Strike.
There has been little marketing for the movie, I'm sure that plays a big part... I would not be surprised if they are planning a big marketing campaign for this.
Maybe they read some internet talk about the movie and actually heeded some of the concerns of fans, and decided to remake the movie so it would have a better chance of success.

I'm praying for that to be true.
Cast seems to fail so far.

Dragonball Movie Wraps Filming
Source: JC March 24, 2008
On her official MySpace page, Emmy Rossum confirmed on Saturday that filming wrapped on Friday for 20th Century Fox's Dragonball movie, written and directed by James Wong. Rossum, who plays Bulma, said...
I've been so busy in Mexico finishing up Dragonball but we just wrapped yesterday so I JUST got home and this is my first opportunity in front of my computer to write to you. It's been nuts for about a month and a half working nights (on a schedule of about 5pm-8am) outside, but our spirits have been high and it was such a blast. I've missed writing to you but I've been exhausted after coming home from work early in the morning. I'm finally home (at least for a few weeks) and it's a mixture of happy and sad. Wrapping a movie is kind of like the end of school, you miss all your friends that you've bonded with so much but you are eager for a little rest and a break from all the hard work. I'll be starting work on something else in 3 weeks so I wont have much time to rest...
Adapted from the manga created by Akira Toriyama, the pic also stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson. An April 3, 2009 release is planned.

Pretty amazing fan made stuff once again
Though I didn't really like the Gohan actor and the fact that he did the last kamehameha wrongly.

I posted this clip back in March.
The movie's never going to be like this cause it's too similar to the anime and we all know that the movie will strive to be original.....

It always bugged me in DBZ how it took longer for them to do that teleporting movement than it would for them to actually just perform the action quickly on-screen.
I agree that the action should be over the top, but none of us know that it isn't. The only review we've seen, unreliable or not, praises the action as the best part of the movie.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Some of those were spot on. XD
Who's that pretty girl that supposed to play Bulma?
Mika Nakashima as #18? Not too bad...
That's Nakagawa Shouko (中川翔子), a popular gravure idol, actress, and seiyuu.
