Fox to make live action Dragonball movies
Fox draws deal for 'DragonBall' live-action pics
20th Century Fox has acquired the feature film rights to the hugely successful Japanese anime property "DragonBall" for studio division Fox 2000 to develop into a live-action franchise. Created by Japanese writer Akira Toriyama as a best-selling graphic novel, the property has been translated into a top-rated cartoon series, video games and straight-to-video releases, but the Fox deal marks the first time any company or studio has secured the live-action rights to the property. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In its various incarnations during the past 15 years, "DragonBall" has followed an epic story between good and evil, centering on the character Goku and a handful of friends who battle for the Earth against the deadly forces of the Saiyans, who are sweeping across the universe, leaving a path of destruction. Goku and friends' best chance for survival rests with the Namekian DragonBalls, which provide them the power to summon a mighty dragon. "DragonBall" is perhaps best known by American audiences as a series on the Cartoon Network. "DragonBall Z" -- a series of 250-300 episodes that follow Goku's life as he grows up, gets married and has two sons -- debuted on the network in August 1998 and is the highest-rated cartoon on the network.

I don't like the chances of these movies being any good. I wonder who will play Goku?

I know one thing, if Fox tries to get a PG or a PG-13 rating for this movie then I'm going to boycott! I'm tired, no, make that sick and tired of movie companies taking great ideas and turning them into shyt all so they can get more people to see them. No offense to anyone,..but I think most 5 year olds that watch the show can't understand the principles behind it. I'm not going to have something I loved reduced to nothing, for "big business". I love DBZ, I hate to see it exploited like this.. If the movie was on a level that you could compare it to the matrix or "The One" I wouldn't mind a bit, but it won't.
