The Dragon Ball live action flick is under production!
From the Left: Justin Chatwin(War of the Worlds, The Invisible) is Goku, Joon Park (also in Speed Racer) is Yamcha, Eriko Tamura (Heroes) is Mai, James Marsters (Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel) as Piccolo, Jamie Chung (Real World, some TV spots) as Chi-Chi and Emmy Rossum (Poseidon, Day After Tomorrow) as an unknown character - most likely Bulma.
Dragon Ball is being directed by James Wong (Writer & Directer of Final Destination 1&3 and The One with Jet Li). Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) is producing.
For those not in the know, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT are among the most popular series of Japanese animation to ever hit the States. The series pretty much put Cartoon Network on the map with adults. It is a very long story with a huge list of possible characters and situations. It was always slightly goofy with the character names: They fight an evil wizard named Bibidi whose son Babidi releases his most evil creation, Buu. Bulma's last name is Briefs and her two children (in DBGT) are Trunks and Bulla (meaning Bra).
Anyway should be fun to watch
