Update from FOX and Trailer Information
Ok, let me first apologize for the removal of the Dragonball movie trailers, but it had to be done for the time being. But I recently received a welcoming email from FOX staff concerning the trailer that was shown and the full blown trailer that is officially still being worked on. It has pretty much been confirmed that it will not be shown during Max Payne, although that was their original intentions. Read below for the email sent to me to clear anything up.
First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content. It is not meant to irritate or discourage you and your readers from following this film campaign. It’s just that the pieces of content that are being leaked were not created to be used this way. They were only meant to be shown to potential Licensing & Merchandising partners who need to make partnering decisions far in advance of release date, and the content has not been approved for online use. Elements like music clearances and even talent approvals have not been pursued because we had no intention of having this go online. Alot goes into a trailer or video being authorized for online use….
We had hoped to have a really kick-ass trailer done by MAX PAYNE’s in-theater date, but because alot of effects shots are still being worked on - we’ve decided to wait until there is more material to work with, so we can really “wow” you and the fans. This is not uncommon for a film that still has 6 months until it goes in theaters. It looks like the real trailer will be released a little later in the year.
Again, thanks for all your interest. I am happy to update you when we get new artwork and approved video to distribute. We appreciate you removing the content, and don’t mean to cause you any headaches with your readers
The only reason I posted this email was to inform you guys about the current progress on the actual trailer.

No trailer during Max Payne?? I feel like crying for some reason, but I understand!! They have to do the special effects. Fox seems pretty nice! It’s good to know they care about the fans. I liked when they said there going to make a kick a** trailer. That got me real excited!! I can’t wait to see the real trailer, It’s probably going to be out of this world.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
Yeah I was hoping for it to be released with Max Payne as well, but hey atleast we know it will be better than what we have seen. But a DB movie trailer releasing around Christmas time seems promising.

[...] DB Legends had the opportunity to talk with Twentieth Century Fox about the leaked promotional footage, believed by some to be the theatrical trailer, as well as the trailer we’d see with Max Payne. This is what they had to say: “First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content.

Will all this extra time, they better make a damn impressive trailer! Or else!
October 6th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Man these phony trailers are killin this film. If people really want it to be successful, they’ll stop proving what the skeptics believe; that it’s gonna suck.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
I think that fox leaked the sound trailer to see the reaction of the fans and see if they need change thing to the film/trialer
FOX know that this film will suck and try to put excuses like “we need moar effect” to say it gona kick ass
but all the effect in the world cannot save this film of th boikot of the true fans and the completely fail of the box office

October 6th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Sorry, Fox but that’s not good enough. All the special effects in the world can’t save this turd of a movie. Because of your decisions to rape the true story, I hope your movie fails. That’s the only thing I’m enthusiastic about as a hardcore DB/Z fan.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW AWESOME THE TRAILERS GONNA BE!!
October 6th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
DBLAM SUCKS, it ruins the DB franchise.. Justin chatwin has ruined everything about goku, piccolo looks so epically terrible.. he looks like palepatine from startwars.. Goku going to highschool?? are you kidding me?? you all have NO right to call yourself DB fans EVER by supporting this abomination. If u are to stupid to see that this movie has ruined fox then your opinions dont matter to a true DB fan. This movie is the biggest insult that anyone could do to DB. Fox doesnt care at all about DB, we all know they saw DB JUST as a business opportunity and didnt care if they ruined it in the process, they just want a cheap buck and thats how they saw DB. it seems more like a disney movie, goku goes to highschool. he looks nothing like the actual goku (same for EVERY actor). Not to mention the trailer was the most pathetic low budget piece of sh*t that true DB fans have ever seen and will admit it. there is no f-ing prophecy in DB , what a dumbass to say that.. how far can they go from the original series??? I would never relate this movie to the actual DB , that i grew up to love. In fact , I have began looking for the similarites between this movie and the actual manga instead of differences. Cause there is FOR SURE more differences then similarities, the ONLY similiarity is the name. If you can name 5 GOOD similarities, ill admit this movie will only suck major balls. And if you think im the only one who feels this way, you are wrong. there is millions of loyal fans to DB who hate it just as much as i do, and have made a protest which I signed and suggest you all sign so no more piece of shit DBZ/GT-lam come out and ruin the entire series even more. Everything i said is true and you all know it, well if you are true DB fans. Anyway Fox you dont understand anything about anime and never will and you have ruined what so many have loved, if i find you i would love to be the one to stab you and cut your cheap head off anyday. thank you, and DBLAM SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I have to agree with DBLAM! This movie is a discrace to everything remotly related to Dragonball! This is horrible! The only hope for this movie would be if it was trashed then sredone with a True DB Fan as the director someone who has seen the show! This is just terrible. Its acctually really hard to describe how I feel about this in words cause there is just no words to describe how shitty I feel to see this happen to a show/anime that taught me soo much, and that i grew up watching. I have seen the show from DBZ to DBGT and I never missed an episode! How could this happen to Dragonball? I mean they have said in many comercials and magazines that Dragonball Dragonball Z And GT were the best action cartoon seris EVER MADE!!!!!!!! The best action anime OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!! The people who made this movie should all be shot! And when they die Im going to take a big sh** on their grave stones…… Thank You! oh and one more thing FU** YOU 20th century Fox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] DB Legends pudo comunicarse con FOX y esto fue lo que respondieron: “En primer lugar, no encanta su entusiasmo por la pelicula. Sentimos el pedirle que quite el contenido. No se pretende desalentar o irritarlo a usted y sus lectores del seguimiento a la pelicula. Es solo que las piezas del contenido que se filtro no fueron creados para usarse de esta manera. Se supone que solo se mostraria a los potenciales socios de Licencias & Merchandising que necesitan para hacer deciciones de asociaciones en la medida de noticias antes de la fecha de liberacion, y el contenido no ha sido aprovado para su uso en linea.

October 8th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Don’t you dare make anymore sequels and keep it in this direction, Fox. If you want to make a DB/Z movie, make it CGI and stick to the look and story of the original.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:42 am
malditos gringos se meten en cosas q no deben esta bien q la peli no sea igual q la serei pero q los personajes sean igual q es eso de el maestro roshi con pelo por favor q estupido pobre q ese sea el verdadero trailer de db mejor sigan con sus monitos yankees malditos gringos por q no se mueren de una ves son unos mother fuck suck usa i suck malditos hijos de putas no se metan con db dejen el anime para el resto del mundo sigan con la suck de super man y esas cosas estupidos gringos espero q cambien ese trailer da verguenza estupidos suck uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk malditos gringos
October 8th, 2008 at 9:47 am
make it CGI?? are you frickin kidding me?? that would suck on so many levels. hmm lets see make a cgi movie of dragonball z…hmmmm all that would be is burst limit with out the interactivity.lol
you realy need to think before you speak..i see you all flaming this movie alling your selfes true dragonball fans..if you were true dragonball fans you would put up with the little changes..yeah so what goku goes to high school..but guess what..he has no interest in high school and is only there for the first 10 minutes of the film therefor he stays the same old goku dumb and dimwitted with an amazing ability to fight
piccolo may have the old dark lord of the sith look going on but its old piccolo..before he restored his youth..and personaly i think he looks badass..i AM a true dragonball fan and own all of DB/Z/GT on dvd and even have the mangas ive been a fan of the dragonball unverse since i was very young and if im willing to put up with these minor changes for this movie to be a hit then so sould you
in short..shut the fuck up all you haters coz you no your gonna be at the theater on release
October 8th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Well, I would have loved to see a little fat goku just like in the series and not a dum teenhero as goku.

Shriveled Member J has the dumbest little petition. Do you honestly think what you think is going to have any effect on Fox? No. So get the sand out of your vagina and grow up man
October 8th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Seriously Im sick of seeing that petition. It won’t stop FOX from anything. If you guys were truly fans, you would respect the fact that an adaptation is even being made. Don’t try and ruin it for everyone else that wants to see it for your own selfish needs.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Yea i can not believe this, i’m the greatest Dragon Ball’s Fan. If somebody wants to see the official trailer before it come out….please e-mail me and i would send you a link where you can watch it.

im even willing to go out on a limb and say it’ll be epic
maybe another star wars type deal, ya kno
but idk,, i hope it is…
good luck FOX
you got millions of DB fans’ hopes and dreams in your grips
be gentle…;)
October 8th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
This is a bit of a relief, because I thought the leaked “trailer” sucked hard.
October 8th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
I could have had some gigantic rant to describe how I felt after watching that fail of trailer but how about we just cut to the chase…WTF did that have to do with Dragon Ball? Oh and for all the posters telling ppl to stop their bitching about FOX putting out this steaming pile crap and that you can just not go see it etc etc, how bout you STFU and keep in mind that some of us who value great stories like Dragon Ball don’t want see them being bastardized by corporate media looking for the next cash cow.
October 9th, 2008 at 1:44 am
Well we know quite a bit (well a lot) more about this movie than most haters. So we can back this up 100% anyday.

Que onda mi FOX, dices que este trailer no es el de la pelicula, y que bueno que lo aclaras ya que se me hace que no va de acuerdo a la history, acuerdate del abuelito de Goku, de la muerte del abuelito de goku, cuando fue aplastado por el mismo Goku porque se convirtio en Gorilla, bueno para que te cuento mas si sabes que esta serie la han pasado en TV desde hace ya mucho tiempo, hechale ganas my FOX yo se que pueden hacer algo mejor.
Regards.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Hey moin if u don’t believe it and u don’t like it.. and for everyone who hate it.. so FUCK U ALL! DON’T WATCH IT SHITTERZ! Wait somebody else make the better one! or make it urself!
October 9th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Realmente tan larga la hacen, deberian de decir cuando sale el trailler; que no salga el cerdito y puah, lo entiendo, que lo hagan a partir de DBZ, lo entiendo pero que cambien los personajes y hagan que Goku este estudiando cuando en el anime no era asi, que cambien la historia de la pelicula, no pueden cambiar en cosas esenciales; me sorprende de igual manera que no este Krillin, que era su mejor amigo de Goku, hay cosas que las considero inconsebibles.
Espero que no hayga muchos cambios.
October 9th, 2008 at 11:48 am
Ante todo, por favor cualquier cosa o informacion verdadera de la pelicula, mandenmela a mi correo christian_u8@yahoo.es, FOX tiene que informar mas, mucha gente que no ha visto el anime tiene interes en ver la pelicula, tienen que estar calentando los motores….

And yeah Corey Wilson you don’t need to pretend to be some “DB fan”, we know that you just work for Fox or at least you’re payed by to hype up fans about the movie…you can try to hype up all you want but the true fans will never let down their principles!
If it takes I’ll die to stop you from raping my favorite thing of all times!!!
October 12th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Sorry but anyone that posts the petition and flames the movie 100% is not a fan in my book. Ok you want the movie stopped because you think it’ll affect the anime, if anything it will but for the better. It will flock old/new fans back to the anime. They will most likely air the entire series again on TV. Either way, why try and ruin it for the people that want to see this movie? That doesn’t make any sense. You should learn that it is 100% NONCANON to the series. Akira made new additions to the Dragonball Z era, I suggest just to wait for that.
October 22nd, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Haters of this movie already, your ignorant and stupid. You bash this movie because you saw a camera version with no sound of some promotional garbage they filmed 6 months ago. You curse piccolo’s attire and color, when in fact, he’s going to be green. You accuse Justin Chatwin to be a terrible Goku, when you haven’t even seen him play the part. You all say you will ‘boycott’ this movie, yet you will probably be the first one in line when the time comes. Stop following the trend set up by other dipshits saying this movie will be an epic fail. You HAVEN’T seen this movie yet, and therefore, keep your hypocritical, negative piece of shit comments to yourself.
October 25th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
OK. I’m not gonna say I’m an absolute dragonball fan, but I will say I have watched all of db/z/gt, I don’t like the thought of goku being in high-school, reason being he had the mentality of a 3rd grader in the dragonball anime. But I can deal with that, because if you show me an 8 year old that knows karate, & will actually listen to directions during filming you got the new goku. I can’t say I’m gonna line up to watch the movie. If anything Ill probably just sit at home watching TV over going to the theater its much cheaper. even after seeing the trailer, I would have to say it perked my interest, just because its not gonna be your run of the mill martial arts movie. (Steven Seagal is getting old)

I have a feeling those who have been going on and on about how great this crap is have already joined the worldwide boycott movements after all this.
