Live-Action Dragonball Z Series

This trailer looked awesome:

Supposedly this will based on "The History of Trunks". Good pick, one of my favorites from DBZ.

No, just no! The Dragon Ball series was never meant to be with real people. They have tried this twice since the series began and both are beyond awful. Just leave it alone, it is an awesome Anime and Manga, LEAVE. IT. AT. THAT!

Ooh...  Liking how indie filmmakers are making this.  Watched and enjoyed Mortal Kombat: Legacy, might even enjoy this one.

Even if indies are making this, it looked awful.

Still looks better then the official Dragonball Movie :p

I'm all for indies trying to do their own thing, I just don't think DBZ can translate to live action lol  I mean we sorta saw what it might look like in the new Superman movie and it was iffy at best and that had a giant ass budget.

There's plenty of stuff that can translate from anime to live action, I just don't think Dragonball is one.

let use not forget all the Journey to the West live action films

[jellysauce]

i never really understood the point of making live action versions of things. i mean the the tv special anime still exists, why not just watch that? its not like a live action version could ever add to or top its own inspiration.

[MJMaranan]

If only that's the real and main intent that live-action adaptations are really going for...   

[ffxik]

It's rough, but still leaps and bounds ahead of Dragon Ball Evolution. 

[MJMaranan]

I still couldn't believe Chow Yun-Fat played Master Roshi in Dragon Ball Evolution.

Hey, they got Twilight in my Dragon Ball Z!!!

Is that supposed to be the Android Saga? Sorry, I watched the show back when they kept cutting off before Goku would go super saiyan.

^ History of Trunks, not Android Saga.

What's Twilight about it? I didn't see any romance or sparkling men.

So... is the girl supposed to be Trunks? She looked like that android chick. Eh, Maybe I should just watch Dragon Ball Z more.

The Twilight is more just how the actors look and the lighting. Angsty teens in a world where it is always on the verge of raining. The teens just looked like the had a lot of stuff going on in their lives while standing on a rock. More of the Twilight vibe than plot points or ideas. Keep in mind, I've only seen 10 seconds that was in the trailer for the DBZ live action thing. Just my first impression.
