Dragonball Z Starring Buffy's Spike

By Mack Rawden: 2007-11-14 00:42:11
Dragonball Z Starring Buffy's Spike During my junior year of high school, I showed up at a golf match to find my opponent angrily arguing with his coach. After a lengthy diatribe, he stormed inside the clubhouse, presumably to coddle himself. Eventually, he reemerged and we teed off on the first hole. After his coach was out of earshot, the pudgy teenager ripped off his collared polo, stuffing it inside his golf bag. “I can’t concentrate without my lucky Dragonball Z cutoff on,” he wailed. I pounded him by nineteen shots.

I don’t know a damn thing about Dragonball Z except it qualifies as an anime. Before tonight, I had no interest in seeking out more information because well, I’m not a pathetic asshole without a shred of good taste. Unfortunately, my editor ruined my evening by assigning me this disaster. So, here’s your damn casting news.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both James Marsters and Justin Chatwin have signed on to star as the super-villain and hero respectively. The basic premise centers around an adult humanoid alien dubbed Goku. At some point in the story, he learns his mission on Earth is to destroy civilization, but like any good adult humanoid alien would, he stays and fights against the impending extraterrestrial onslaught. Somewhere along the way, all the characters will begin searching for Dragonballs.

Are you kidding me? Who are the buffoons paying to watch this idiotic fantasy? I guess producers at least deserve a little applause for casting James Marsters. The man’s IMDB reads like a damn bibliography of bad science fiction. Why shouldn’t he pilot this Hindenburg too?

Here’s a short list of things more deserving of your eight dollars than this animated nonsense:
Wham! Greatest Hits.
The buffet at Ponderosa.
Pogs.
Stingray defense lessons from Steve Irwin.
Half an hour with Sylvia Browne.

  • You can just tell how Fox ripped Dragonball all up by all this casting that looks worse than the worst cosplay, and all this nonsense of Goku going to school and such. This movie isn't going to kickass, instead its going to get kicked by all the Japanese and Chinese and Koreans and all the people from around the world who's organizing to boycott it
  • ok i for one used to be an avid viewer of the show. I used to love and, and agree with the followers. I always wanted to see a dbz movie. and now that I see that its in production, I am actually looking forward to it. This movie will have visually stunning effects, and alot of kick ass fighting. I know the story might lack to you all, but they of course wil shorten and sweeten it. Hollywood can make or break it, and with fox studios doing it, Im convinced it will rip us all a new one. Say all the negative you want. When it comes out we shall see :)
  • I cant wait for this movie, most people who hate it are those that are to old. Db was more for the people who are around 14-22 now. Back when it came out i remember at school everyone was talking about it. Its gonna be a big seller.
  • Hey lighten up its going to be a brilliant film.

    As long as the cast can act the characters personalities from DB and the director can keep truthful to the db universe.

    The cast that is selected might not be brilliant at all but unless a anime character can be created for 'real' then actors comes as close as possible.
  • Wow, I don't read a bit of hostility at all for this movie in this article. Nah, no one would be this down on it even before the movie has been fully cast, would they?

    Who would watch this? Maybe millions, maybe no one. Who cares who watches it? It doesn't help your life out either way.
  • This movie is going to be rather popular in all honesty. Sure Dragonball Z may not have the strongest of stories...far from it. But it's more like a fan following that will make it successful. It is one of the longest running animated series of all time afterall. That and there has been rumors flying all over the Internet for YEARS about a new DBZ movie! So will the movie be great? Most likely not. Will it be bearable? Who doesn't love to watch aliens battle in giant fields with powers that can unmake whole planets!!! That's gonna be awesome! And as for your quote of "I’m not a pathetic asshole without a shred of good taste." tell that to Irwin. Because THAT was in exceedingly bad taste. Picking on a dead man makes you pathetic. Mocking his tragic death makes you an asshole. And using it as a cheap joke to accentuate your "story" makes it in terrible taste.
  • Although I agree with you about Dragonball Z, ai have to say youre wrong about James. I know the guy hasnt worked much since Buffy but hes still a pretty talented guy. Lots of people in Hollywood never get thier due, he is one of them.
