Guess who is playing Goku! JUSTIN CHATWIN!!!!

I also got word from a sort of inside source about the plot. here is a summary.. (A japanese website translated by a friend.)


OK so this is not the actual article. It's just what he said out loud.


"No Krillin? New best friend? Bullies? Goku in High School? High School?? Goku never went to High School -- he's was raised by Martial Art masters in Gohan, then Roshi and Kame... Why is this becoming some High School flick with super powers? Why are we *starting* with Goku grown to this degree? Why is there no story of him growing up, facing King Picolo, killing him, effectively, and *then* fighting his offspring/copy of himself in the World Martial Arts tournaments? Why am I hearing now that Goku has already learned of his heritage before he's even married Chi Chi? Picolo steals the one dragon ball, so what's Goku collecting them for? To stop the Saiyans, and if so, there won't be the same change in Picolo as in the series."

Um, because they're trying to mix in High School Gohan's "Great Saiyaman" arc?

James Marsters ("Spike" from Buffy) is supposed to play Piccolo. Here is the article: http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/835/835143p1.html

Don't be fooled by people that claim they know what the DBZ plot is unless they're working very closely on the movie or an official sypnosis is out there, i'm also suprised theres no trailer if it's due out this year in teaser form

The movie wouldn't take such drastic turns away from the anime if at all

A few photos...
