Photo Removed at Request from Fox
Update: /Film reader Jim S sent me the above photo of the American version of the teaser poster. So it appears it is real after all.
The photo below has begun to circulate the message boards, claiming to be the Japanese poster for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming live action big screen adaptation of Dragonball. But who knows, it could be an elaborate fan creation. I know there is enough of a fanbase looking forward to this movie, so I thought I’d share it.

According to dbthemovie, the poster translates into:
“Legend becomes reality
March 2009
Dragonball
www.dragonball-movie.jp”
Dragonball hits theaters in the states on April 8th 2009.

Huh. Looks like a vollyball

Why do I have the notion that many will take the film as a parody rather than a serious take on the Dragon Ball universe?

Well… if it’s anything like the ho-hum games that have been released in the franchise over the years then god be with it! >_>

This looks like it’ll be fun.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:08 am
At least they knew enough to use the 4 star ball…
April 28th, 2008 at 7:31 am
This means nothing. It’s just a poster. How the hell can a poster relate to how good a movie actually is.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Wow, every Photoshop plug-in used on one poster (including the way cool Stars one that nobody uses). Brilliant!
April 28th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
theres a web page from fox japan and in that page are anunced the movie wow
i think its true
April 28th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Hay Mase, you mean DragonBolled.
April 28th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Meh, not what I expected.
April 28th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
you got to be friggin’ kindding me. Dragon Ball was one of the worst cartoons I have ever seen. What are they going to do, make a 10 movie series of guys with stupid hair (really kids who the hell is going to put on that wig?) screaming and breathing really hard? I don’t know if my body can take the intake of weed I would need to enjoy something like this.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
i m know that poster is true!!!…eu sabia que esse poster era verdadeiro!!!well….anyway…likes not to god
April 28th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
good*
April 28th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Well, guys James Wong is going to direct. Actually it might as well be directed by Uwe Boll since Wong is just as sucky as Boll is!
April 28th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
It’ll possibly be real, since Fox knows too well that putting the actual charactes onto the poster will only fire up the worldwide boycott even more
April 29th, 2008 at 10:41 am
got that right msires, that’s why they’re so reluctant to show any pictures from the film. But I’ve seen all the characters, except Lord Piccolo’s face. So far, none of them resemble the original, true characters. In fact, they’re the exact OPPOSITE of how they should look.

Hola, no entiendo nada lo que dicen. Aguante Dragon Ball Z. Espero que no la cagen y se manden cualquiera.
Saludos

This poster looks great

Fuck FOX, they edit Family Guy everytime they show it. What’s the point of showing a show if they’re going to edit it for content and cut out 10 minutes of footage. TBS and adult swim doesn’t do that. Fucking pussies. FOX is the worst network on the planet because it’s government controlled by mindless puppets and bullshit!
