The First Look at Goku in Dragonball

I have a lot of concerns for the Dragonball movie coming out in 2009. First off, why is there no Krillin? Krillin has been with Goku from the very start, and they decide to just not put him in the movie. Secondly, why is Goku so damn skinny? This is the first photo I've seen of Justin Chatwin as Goku. It's really too bad there isn't going to Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, or anybody else. What I don't understand is, if you're going to make a Dragonball movie, why not follow the show? It seems like they're totally making up a new story, and cutting out all the good characters. I know this is "Dragonball" and not "Dragonball Z", but still...I want some damn Super Saiyans. I really hope this movie doesn't suck. I grew up loving DBZ, and if it gets ruined, I'll be one pissed off geek. This photo was scanned from a Japanese magazine called Shonen Jump #24.

Yeah, definitely. I didn't know what saga they were going with. So I'm glad they aren't going to mix in characters that weren't there. But still...KRILLIN :(

I remember like 5 years ago all those rumors of a DBZ movie, and those fake casts and in makeup photos...those were the days.

This is based on the King Piccolo saga. If Vegeta was in it, you would be complaining it isn't being faithful to the story (Vegeta doesn't come until MUCH later in the story, i.e. the sequel to this movie).

If you have any questions check out my detailed faq on the movie http://dbthemovie.com/about or email me, I've been following every single news story on the movie.

Thanks!

I really want this movie to not suck. I am still miffed about Krillin. If this movie sucks there will be hell to pay.
