Dragonball Legends

Chow Yun Fat (who plays Master Roshi in Dragonball) was recently interviewed at a press conference in Hong Kong. He basically was asked if he would work any Hong Kong films in the future and replied saying he has read several scripts, unfortunately those characters don’t fit him well. He also went on to say he will later set off to the United States and voice the movie Dragonball. I believe he pretty much stated he will be dubbing the Chinese version of the Dragonball movie, but that isn’t 100%. Although this isn’t anything big at all really, still an interesting bit of news. Read below for a portion of the interview (sorry its poorly translated)

For “Dragon Ball”, “Shanghai” dubbing

Zaipai when talking about the film, the Colombian said that he had read the script many, but not to their role. As for the Johnnie To invite him to perform foreign film, he said that the script is still being repeated changes in order to balance the tastes of East and West. Then he would go to the United States as “Dragon Ball” voice, “Shanghai” will work in the United Kingdom dub, or the end of the year will be busy next year’s workload will be less.

Dragonball Live posted an article from the french magazine Cine Live that reports some Dragonball movie aspects from director James Wong and Producer Tim Van Rellim. They reveal what the ‘volcano’ pre release picture is used for in movie and if Master Roshi stays true to his manga character.

Is Roshi true to the manga character?

“Yes, somewhat,” said director James Wong. “We kept his main features, like his humor. But in the manga Roshi is a true sexual pervert, which wouldn’t work in a family film. So we removed that part of the character.”

“I discovered that Dragonball had such a rich universe that it would take several films to cover all of its treasures. My goal with this movie is not to convince existing fans that Dragonball is great, they already know this, but to give a new audience. More adults, as I was a neophyte myself before discovering the manga!”

Director Tim Van Rellim reveals the volcano

“Here, we can build a large [volcano], including the decoration of the volcano where the hero must take one of seven Dragon Balls.” The crater is impressive, gigantic artificial arena. “By day, the volcano is nothing. But at night, the lighting for the scene takes it to another dimension.” And that’s not counting the digital special effects that will fill the green screen with lava.
