Dragonball-live has posted a first look at Justin Chatwin as Goku for the DRAGONBALL movie. The scan was said to be taken from Shonen Jump #24 in Japan.

The film is being directed by James Wong (FINAL DESTINATION). Stephen Chow (SHAOLIN SOCCER) is producing. The script is by James Wong and Ben Ramsey. The cast also includes Chow yun-fat as Master Roshi, Emmy Rossum as Bulma, and James Marsters as Lord Piccolo.

The story centers on an alien sent to destroy Earth, who has a change of heart and decides to join the humans in their fight against various aliens and bad guys.

DRAGONBALL hits theaters on April 3, 2009.

Ok, I can actually SEE Goku in that image, and of course it is all about the Hair . . :-P

I am VERY pessimistic about this upcoming film, but I will see it regardless, James Marsters alone is worth the price of admission. . :-P

This will dethrone Speed Racer as the worst anime adaptation to date. But from the looks it might turn out to be a decent comedy if nothing else.

He already had the face! The hair compliments nice in a more realistic way! I could care less about the authenticity of the story if the story they develop is a good one. Most of the things in the anime didn't hold up to reality anyway, and I'm so so about talking animals, so good riddens to that if they dismissed it.

Adaptations are just that; Adaptations so, I expect Adaptations in the film! I'm a fan and I will stay a fan until it proves to be a bad film, not by hearsay or conjecture... and definitely not by jaded opinions.

KAKARAT!!!

godsonfilm: As I am some what in the middle of this (I don't particularly care about this adaptation one way or another) let me offer a non-jaded opinion: This film is going to be awful. Marsters as Piccolo, James Wong directing, and no Vegeta.

Three strikes, my friend. Three strikes.

Well, it all might work out. I hope that they have him going Super-Sayian. If all goes well it could be a rather great movie. We will have to wait and see.
