 Just curious if anyone would like to see a Live Action Dragon Ball Z Movie and No I'm not talking about that Crappy Dragonball Evolution Movie that came out a few years ago. Who do you think should play who? |

No.
Closest we're going to get to a good live action DBZ adaptation is this:
A limited series on youtube, I think it's going to be 2/3 parts.
Besides that stick to anime because live action won't work

After what happened with Dragon Ball Evolution I have absolutely 0 interest in Hollywood touching DBZ. I would much rather stick to the series itself and the animated movies.

It didn't work the first time, so it probably won't work the second time. Pains me to say that because I love Dragon Ball Z so much.

No. And that's coming from someone who loves DBZ. They should just stick to the animated movies like the Battle of the Gods movie that came out in the US and the new Frieza one that's gonna be released in Japan in a few months.

I think it could work. The first couple of attempts sucked, but so did a lot of early superhero movies. It's a matter of finding the right guys to put the time and effort into the movie to make it look right.

No because it's something that can't be pulled off live action and it won't regardless. Same goes for Megaman and Super Mario.

Its doable, but I'd rather have them continue with animated movies. Don't update the style, just release more, and being back a tv series.

Yes. And I'm going to do it.
DBZ is, and has been for over half my life, one of the top properties I want to Direct.
There's 0 reason it can't work. Just a matter of finding the right people.
Hard to cast, but I'll give it a shot, if I were to start filming tomorrow:
Iko Uwais as Vegeta, to start.
Scott Adkins as either Goku, or Perfect Cell, when the time came for him. Going with Goku, for now. The dude deserves a leading franchise role, at this point.
Julie Estelle as Chi Chi
Jim Carrey as Master Roshi (Make-up heavy, of course; and yes, I'm dead serious. Dude is still one of the best character actors, around)
Terry Crews as Nappa
Sung Kang as Yamcha
Emma Stone as Bulma
Jason David Frank as Tien
Luke Evans as Radditz
Hard to call on Piccolo, or Krillin. I actually liked Marsters as Piccolo in Evolution, and he's an uber fan. I think he was one of the only decent things, given the VERY little he had to work with.
Then of course, that's only the 1st film. The characters tend to fall off from there, so -- most of them would only be making appearances after that one.
Combine a good mix of hand to hand, and effects-heavy flying/ki blast sequences. Play out the story properly, and I think it could be done very well.
Yayan Ruhian would be my choice for Frieza. Do Mo-cap for him -- those fight sequences could be gorgeous. And I think I'd bring dude on for choreography from the beginning. He worked on the Raid films, and they're stellar.
I would go out of my way to bring in some of the animated voice talent, too. Just for nostalgias' sake, and for the fans. Especially if the characters are CGI.

That Light Of Hope trailer is laughable. Live action for something like Dragon Ball Z can't be taken seriously.

No. Two compleyely different storytelling mediums. I don't get why people get so hung up on this with animation. You don't see anybody clamoring for an anime version of Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy, but we always want live action adaptations of animated material. Why? There are a lot of elements and storytelling devices common to animation that just don't exist or won't translate to live action. I'm a huge Dragon Ball fan, but the subject matter just doesn't naturally lend itself to a live action adaptation.
