DB The Movie has provided new Dragonball scans from magazines such as Weekly Shonen Jump, Young Jump, and Nikkon Sports. Nothing really new aside from a few new photos and the quality is much better.
Hollywood News has confirmed that the Dragonball film will be promoted at Comic Con later this week.
I’ve got to admit, I know nothing about this movie, except the fact that Fox are taking it to Comic Con later this week, so expect some more promo stuff to pop up online later.
The actress Jamie Chung that plays Chi Chi just recently mentioned her role on the upcoming Dragonball film. She also mentions a bit about her new role on the new series known as “Samurai Girl”.
“It’s a very strong young female role, and her name is Chi Chi,” Chung said in in an interview at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour, where she was promoting her new ABC Family show Samurai Girl, in Beverly Hills, Calif., last week.
Dragonball–which also stars Emmy Rossum, James Marsters, Chow Yun-Fat and Ernie Hudson–follows a boy named Goku (Justin Chatwin) who tries to fulfill his grandfather’s dying request to find a great master and gather seven Dragon Balls to prevent an alien’s rise to power. The movie is based on the anime series Dragon Ball Z.
“We’ve finished filming,” Chung said. “The martial-arts aspect of the character [is the same as the Samurai Girl character Heaven], but Heaven is something real special. … Chi Chi was a fun character to play, and … it’s also a very strong young female, but Heaven has a completely different [backstory] behind her that makes things so much more interesting.”
