Dragonball Evolution Sequel Script Already Written

Dragonball Evolution star Jason Chatwin that a script for the Dragonball Evolution sequel already exists.
International friend Gigan300 tipped me off to a website quoting a statement made by Dragonball Evolution star Jason Chatwin that a script for the Dragonball Evolution sequel already exists.

Anime News Network shares:



Dragonball film actor Justin Chatwin (Son Goku) told SciFiNow, Imagine Publishing’s British science fiction, fantasy, and horror magazine, that his live-action project already has a script for a second film written. Chatwin added that if the sequel is green-lit, “The second one goes more into the whole legacy and the genealogy of Dragonball. It goes more in-depth into a real Dragonball series, the kind of intergalactic world of Dragonball.”

LuV1138: I am not surprised that one is written. With the fast paced world of movies, IF the movie is a success, the fans seem to want a sequel three weeks later.

More and more, studios are being preemptive about sequels in anticipation of success. Therefore they tend to make deals based on multiple movies. Actors who sign on with a new franchise will be asked to sign a three movie deal. This isn’t to say they get paid for three movies, rather that in writing they agree that IF another movie is made, they are obligated to take on their role. This ensures a certain amount of continuity and saves their scrambling for a suitable replacement.

So it’s not really that surprising. At the very least we know that the studio is not planning for this to be a one shot movie that is buried by the naysayers. they are investing at least in part to its future.

Cape - 11/25/2009, 4:59 PM
I just want to see more of the girl who played Bulma. Alot more.
Betty - 11/25/2009, 5:21 PM
thats old news he said this before about the sequel script.

James Marsters Q&A - he talks about Dragonball Evolution


jazzman - 11/25/2009, 5:51 PM
I hope they make a sequel. Please give them a [frick]ing bigger budget Fox. And i hope Chatwin comes back. Bu bu but hes not asian whaaaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Lol stupid fanboys
CaptainAmerica - 11/25/2009, 5:59 PM
Seriously, I hope this one is better, they are making it, as Jason mentioned, this next film will follow the Dragon Ball series deeply. I hope they do because if they mess up again, I will burst of anger! And burn FOX company down to the ground.
LuV1138 - 11/25/2009, 6:03 PM
CAPE @ Lmao!!

LuV @ I feel your pain man, they [frick]ed WOLVERINE up too!

Old news... what ever the first movie was bad...
AVEN - 11/25/2009, 7:30 PM
I hope they make it so I can have a good giggle again. I really don't get the Dragon Ball thing at all. Everyone was going on about how much the movie raped the source material so I watched a couple of the cartoons. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
RorMachine - 11/25/2009, 7:42 PM
@ror - yeah I did the same. I watched some of the cartoons and watched the movie and thought they did an accurately shitty job with it. The cartoon was pretty ridiculous, and the movie was as well.
dizzongster - 11/25/2009, 8:00 PM
@ betty
you can see alot of the girl who played bulma just find if they have any dvd seasons of the real world, shes on one of those season's.
thegamedrex - 11/25/2009, 8:12 PM
horrible! just horrible. anyone who thought DBE was good is obviously a 12 year old. When you fly THAT far away from the source material it becomes a cheesy caricature of itself. Its like going to the dollar store and seeing the knock off power rangers or x-men bootleg toys.
niceguyeddie - 11/25/2009, 8:12 PM
Why.
Bandrews1 - 11/25/2009, 8:13 PM
I know next to nothing about Dragon Ball, so it doesn't really matter to me, but how can Fox possibly justify a sequel?From what I understand, the film was panned by moviegoers and critics.If the figures are correct, the movie made $57,497,699 on a $45-50 million budget.So, basically they made $12-$7 million dollars on the film.In whose mind does another one seem like a good idea?

If Fox had any sense, they would start over.DB and DBZ are two separate series.Two separate stories.They should get a new cast, writer and director and start a Dragon Ball Z trilogy.I really think people would be more forgiving if they knew the franchise was being done by different people.
kenny38606 - 11/25/2009, 8:14 PM
@ niceguyeddie

its pretty easy to make a cheesy caricature of something when it was already cheesy as hell to begin with.
CorndogBurglar - 11/25/2009, 8:28 PM
I SAY MAJOR REBOOT WITH NEW ACTORS THAT LOOK THE PART AND A DIRECTOR OR DIRECTORS THAT WILL DO "THE REAL REAL" DRAGONBALL..AFTER SEEING THE FIRST ONE I NEVER GOT SO PISSED AND INSULTED WATCHING SOMETHING IN MY LIFE...THAT MOVIE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CALLED DBZ..THAT MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED WTF.
GUNSMITH - 11/25/2009, 8:55 PM
WTF MEANS WHAT THE FOCK
GUNSMITH - 11/25/2009, 8:56 PM
@Ror

Basically what they did to it was the same they did to Mario Bros, I know how ridiculous the original was but seeing Goku grope Bulma, to see if she had a dick like him the first time they meet just made me fall in love with the original series. Now most people love Dragon Ball Z and that is what they expect, basically the Neo vs Smith fight in Matrix Revolutions times 1,000, exploding cities flying water, faster than your eye can see movements, etc, etc.

What they tried to do was a mutated mix of both series which obviously didn't work.

Oh and yeah, the Chatwin statement was done before the movie premiered so i is most probably in the lost dimension of never and never
NoobMike - 11/25/2009, 9:20 PM
They just have no shame.
animeex - 11/25/2009, 9:42 PM
F$%K i hate fox for making this movie, the movie should have been lke this








luffycapri - 11/25/2009, 9:42 PM
@ corndog: the original dragonball was classic I know the comic relief in it was mostly silliness but the themes were so timeless. DBZ was entertaining maybe for the first season but then it got redundant and totaly lost its charm.
niceguyeddie - 11/25/2009, 11:08 PM
lets hope they never rape naruto via live action
niceguyeddie - 11/25/2009, 11:08 PM
I hope they Reboot this and Recast Chatwin. They should give Asian actors a chance to portray their own Hero like Goku. They should hire Jon Foo.

Dudpool - 11/26/2009, 12:09 AM
Pease dont make another movie on DB live it alone cant they see they hurt it enough already. i totally didnt get the DRAGONBALLZ feeling watching that C-grade, no asian Goku ,kamehameha so easy even i can create one, ugly ass piccolo, and simply justnot Dragonballz, Dragonball
taivante - 11/26/2009, 3:52 AM
ya know i understand that the movie wasn't what "True Fans" wanted but you have to think with the whole Dragon Ball universe it took them 5 episodes just to take a leak. As a DB Fan the movie wasn't what it should have been. As a movie fan I liked it. Its geared towards KIDS! thats who is buying the games and the toys not 25 year olds who have been Following the show since its release or anything its geared towards KIDS, and as a KIDS movie it was great.
DTLSinger - 11/26/2009, 8:02 AM
i say give a a second chance like ya giving wolverine origins a second chace and alot of ya didnt like it
flames809 - 11/26/2009, 8:56 AM
But Dudpool, Goku isn't Asian.

@Niceguyeddie: Actually, a Naruto live-action COULD work!
MovieTheaterLad - 11/26/2009, 9:17 AM
i quit....
MrDCGuy23 - 11/26/2009, 9:30 AM
I wish they would just QUIT!

If you can't do the Movie Right then don't do it at all.


NubaX - 11/26/2009, 11:49 AM
@MovieTheaterLad: i don't know man. any attemot would inevitably be an abomination. how could it be done right?
niceguyeddie - 11/26/2009, 1:38 PM
I am up for most any anime to be made to live action... As long as it's done right. Which we all know they can't seem to do.
animeex - 11/26/2009, 5:33 PM
Did Chatwin say they were going more into the intergalactic stage of Dragonball? Christ, I hope so... Radditz/Nappa/Vegeta anyone?

Goldberg's got my vote for Nappa. I'm still up in the air for Radditz and Vegeta.

And I'll be happy if they "retcon" the last movie with Oozaru being a servant of Piccolo, and say "haha we lied Oozaru was really a Saiyan transformation but was corrupted by Piccolo, deal with it neener neener."


Slayer420 - 11/26/2009, 11:04 PM
@MovieTheaterLad - I know he's not Asian in the anime. But the actor that should play him must be an Asian. Just like the actor for Superman must be White even though he's really an alien in the comics.

I just looked at the news date and it's old. lol

Anyway I really hope that they reboot, recast and restart all over again or don't do it at all.
Dudpool - 11/27/2009, 2:11 AM
was it really that bad????
if i got it for $3 used did i spend to much?
vonstallin - 11/27/2009, 12:36 PM

jazzman - 11/27/2009, 1:53 PM

Yes vonstallin, it was really that bad.

THAT IS THE WORST CBM NEWS EVEEEEEER!!!
RomeyRome2002 - 11/27/2009, 8:23 PM
no no no no hell no if they are going to make a reeboot it should be like the animation show
Marvel Rules - 11/29/2009, 1:08 PM
no no no no hell no if they are going to make a reeboot it should be like the animation show
Marvel Rules - 11/29/2009, 2:04 PM
Personally, I just wanna see what they do with Vegeta, I could care less about anything else involved with the sequel to Evolution
mr0sandman - 12/27/2009, 2:49 PM
@mr0sandman

I understand wanting to see Vegeta, because he makes the show for a lot of people, but.... They will probably get some 16 year old from Disney and destroy him. I was dying to see Venom in a movie, just to be disappointed (Eddie Brock's Actor and Venom's Suit). A lot of these studios are just thinking it did well as a tv show so people WILL GO SEE IT no matter how much their friends warn them how awful it is.
Rocketico - 1/26/2010, 11:58 AM
good now can they just make the sequel? piccolo is still around lol
vakama15 - 1/28/2010, 11:03 PM
Saiyans are asians look alike they got black eyes black hair and all so I think Jon Foo should play Goku and Takayuki Yamada should play Vegeta.
SoichirouNagi14120 - 2/2/2010, 8:01 AM
The new actors should be:
Jon Foo-Goku
Takayuki Yamada or Tatsuya Fujiwara-Vegeta
Shun Oguri -Yamcha
Jonhatan Rhys Meyers-Piccolo

SoichirouNagi14120 - 2/2/2010, 8:07 AM
This crap is why we can't have nice things.

"I hope they make it so I can have a good giggle again. I really don't get the Dragon Ball thing at all. Everyone was going on about how much the movie raped the source material so I watched a couple of the cartoons. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH."

@Rormachine well i think the reason why this terrible movie hit such a strong chord is because for many of us who have been fans of the show it was a sort of childhood nostalgia type of thing. Well at least for me it was a childhood nostalgia thing. So for a person who barely sees the show after the movie comes out it looks sort of silly to have an argument about raping the source material but for me making Goku an American high school student is just a mortal sin that will never be forgiven.
