Meh....
James Marsters is a good actor, also played in Smallville as Brainiac.
Unfortunately it does seem weird to me to see those Dragonball characters as real humans.

The actors commenting on their characters + words from director James Wong..
Quote:
Goku - Justin Chatwin
I think it is an honor to play Goku. He is a universal character, as if a reincarnation of Luke Skywalker, really great character to play. Goku always takes action himself, is positive thinking, helps the weak. He had a great influence on myself.
Chi-Chi - Jamie Chung
This movie is the first action movie for me. I’m very proud of my first work in such a large scale. I enjoyed the martial arts training and everyone tried very hard. This movie is sure to be special,
please see this.
Yamcha - Joon Park
When I was a child, I had a lot of Japanese friends, I was familiar with Dragonball’s characters. Manga is a part of my life. Yamcha is an ironic and humorous character. He talks tough, but actually he is soft and a little weak on the inside. Please pay attention to his change through the journey.
Bulma - Emmy Rossum
Bulma is very funky, sexy and strong-minded, a wonderful character. I’m very happy to be able to play this role. I feel responsible for this role because there are many fan of the original manga. We are working hard to please the fans.
Master Roshi - Chow Yun-Fat
Master Roshi is a very funny guy. Anyway… he’s funny (laugh) Indeed, it is my first time in my career to play a manga character like this. Normally I can’t play a 300 year old man, but I enjoy playing this role. The director is doing good job, I think he mixes Eastern and Western culture well.
Dragonball is the best-seller manga from Weekly Shonen Jump. Original manga is made up of 42 volumes in a epic story. The animation has aired overseas, and has hardcore fans all over the world. But how will they make it into a movie ?
“Original manga is definitely a classic. Due to time constraints, I’m sorry I can’t adopt all the wonderful things from the original, but I’m happy I’m involved in this movie and I think it turned out well. I think the manga readers will find [many] things they have liked in the manga, that is, the spirit of the original,” director James Wong said.
Final Destination (2000), The One (2001) and etc. have received high acclaim for [their] own visual style, and we are anticipating the visual stylings in Dragonball!

This movie has all the ingredients to be a stellar flop of epic proportions like Street Fighter, Double Dragon etc.. HOWEVER with James Wong directing it (he after all did do The One) and Stephen Chow producing it (c'mon Shaolin Soccer is probably his worst movie and even that is action packed) there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel after all..
I've heard a rumor that none other than Donnie Yen is helping with the choreographing of the fighting, plus with Stephen Chow's involvement of comedy and action and James Wong's love for BIG action scenes there really is no reason why this movie can't be a big surprise. But time will tell.

This is either going to be fucking sick or a complete failure.
Im hoping for the first one, but like carmi said.. It seems weird to make the characters human

This looks terrible. Chow Yun-Fat as Kamesennin? LOL
I bet Toriyama is loving the cash flow.
I fell in love with the original Dragon Ball series back in the 80s because of many reasons. Goku, the underdog, the boy who battled the army of RedRibbon, Piccolo and his offsprings. Toriyama's imagination was great - the gadgets and robots, and of course the perverted humor.
I'm not saying my childhood's been raped because of this but none of the things that made DB special for me will crossover to this live action movie. It'll just be CGI battles.
Will they have these white actors speaking in Chinese accents?
*flushes toilet*
