It has been confirmed that a video adaptation of the upcoming Dragonball film is in the works. No actual details have surfaced yet, but we did get this quote from Playthings confirming it from 20th Century FOX.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Twentieth Century Fox has appointed Gary Rosenfeld to the position of Senior Vice President of New Media Licensing, a role with oversight of the studio’s portfolio of video game projects and management responsibility for Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising’s (Fox L&M) games development staff.

Rosenfeld will explore opportunities in the growing PC online game space and investigate new business models and partnerships in the console publishing area. A handful of Fox properties will make it to the top of his list as he begins this new endeavor, starting with the studio’s major upcoming film releases and television brands, including Avatar, Night at the Museum – The Battle Of The Smithsonian, Ice Age 3, Dragonball, The Simpsons and Family Guy.

Also, Brian Tyler (DB movie score composer) has mentioned more about his work on the Dragonball film.

“I’m a Dragonball, you know, fan… [and] I agreed to take it before they shot it… So, I have this kind of habit of, when I’m a fan of something, I end up taking it before they even shoot it. And I called up to the, you know, director and said ‘Hey man, I think we can really make this, you know, epic…” in the world; the angle of Dragonball being a different world, that it’s kind of a parallel universe of what we are, but, it has a whole mythic, legendary aspect to it, like, ‘this has been going on for thousands of years’ kind of thing, so that’s the vibe of this score. Which we’re doing right now.”
