We’d not normally reꦑport on the casting for a big screen, live-action version of an a💖nnoyingly over-caffeinated kids’ cartoon, but Dragon Ball Z has such an eclectic team that we couldn’t pass it up.
First the cast – War Of The Worlds’ Justin Chatwin will play the hero, Goku, a warrior charged with protecting Ea𝐆rth from a seemingly endless supply of villains who want to ru꧃le the world and, oh, you know... The usual.
In the movie, he’ll face off against Piccolo, to be played by none ♎other than James Marsters, a man still best known from TV’s Buffy as the vampire nuisance Spike.
As for behind the camera, Final Destination honcho James Wong is the maꦅn directing, having re-written the script. And the kicker (possibly literally)? Stephen Chow is producing and hopefully providing some bizarre martial arts and stuntsꦕ.
20th Century Fox already has Chatwin trainin🥂g with 87Eleven, the stunt t📖eam who helped make the likes of The Matrix and 300 look good, so he should have the moves. The chaos kicks off shooting later this month.
