Ok, let me first apologize for the removal of the Dragonball movie trailers, but it had to be done for the time being. But I recently received a welcoming email from FOX staff concerning the trailer that was shown and the full blown trailer that is officially still being worked on. It has pretty much been confirmed that it will not be shown during Max Payne, although that was their original intentions. Read below for the email sent to me to clear anything up.
First off, we love your enthusiasm for the film. We are so sorry to ask that you remove the content. It is not meant to irritate or discourage you and your readers from following this film campaign. It’s just that the pieces of content that are being leaked were not created to be used this way. They were only meant to be shown to potential Licensing & Merchandising partners who need to make partnering decisions far in advance of release date, and the content has not been approved for online use. Elements like music clearances and even talent approvals have not been pursued because we had no intention of having this go online. Alot goes into a trailer or video being authorized for online use….
We had hoped to have a really kick-ass trailer done by MAX PAYNE’s in-theater date, but because alot of effects shots are still being worked on – we’ve decided to wait until there is more material to work with, so we can really “wow” you and the fans. This is not uncommon for a film that still has 6 months until it goes in theaters. It looks like the real trailer will be released a little later in the year.
Again, thanks for all your interest. I am happy to update you when we get new artwork and approved video to distribute. We appreciate you removing the content, and don’t mean to cause you any headaches with your readers
The only reason I posted this email was to inform you guys about the current progress on the actual trailer.
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.”
New York Anime Festival has begun and we pretty much get confirmation that Dragonball The Movie will get its own panel tomorrow. There will be a “top secret” panel, so maybe we will get the trailer tomorrow? There is also a Dragonball autographing session, so expect a few of the actors from the movie to be there.
Day Two of the 2nd New York Anime Festival promises to be full of interesting and newsworthy events, including appearances by special guests Yoshitaka Amano, Hideyuki Kikuchi, the designers of Baby the Stars Shine Bright, and a “Top Secret” panel at 2:15 pm at the Anime News Network Theater. Now why on earth is there a picture from the Dragon Ball movie next to that panel’s description, plus an autograph session at 3:30 pm for Dragon Ball, I’m guessing it might be about… oh heck, just go check it out and see if this is one of the worst kept secrets in NYAF history or a very clever red herring.
Keep informed tomorrow for any possible movie news, spoilers, and media.
Source and thanks to dbthemovie.com for the heads up!
Update
This blog has stated that the top secret panel won’t be meant for Dragonball, but a secret guest that isn’t even Dragonball related. You can all thank this blog for providing false information. Now, this doesn’t mean all hope is lost for Dragonball to appear at NYAF. There is supposely a Dragonball autograph session going on as we speak, so we will keep you informed on that issue.
DBthemovie.com has received e-mail from FOX stating that the upcoming Dragonball film will be shown at this years Brand Licensing Europe during October 1st-2nd. We are not sure if this is the first preview screening or not and if it will be the entire movie or just early drafts. One thing is for sure though, that the film will be shown October1st or 2nd during Brand Licensing Europe.
Dbthemovie.coom forum member has also claimed the following statement.
The film is in final stages, 90 minutes long, likely PG-13, first in an on-going series. Major video game adaptation out next year, leading comic book company publishing new manga series based on movie. New animated television series in development.
Although most of this is very likely, a new animated series based on Dragonball is not. Keep in mind that this is only rumor. But why would a new cartoon series be made based on the movie when Akira Toriyama is most likely working on new projects for Dragonball aside from the brand new special that recently premiered. However we have already seen pieces of the manga a few months back, so the cartoon could happen. We will keep you informed.
Dragonball Live posted an article from the french magazine Cine Live that reports some Dragonball movie aspects from director James Wong and Producer Tim Van Rellim. They reveal what the ‘volcano’ pre release picture is used for in movie and if Master Roshi stays true to his manga character.
Is Roshi true to the manga character?
“Yes, somewhat,” said director James Wong. “We kept his main features, like his humor. But in the manga Roshi is a true sexual pervert, which wouldn’t work in a family film. So we removed that part of the character.”
“I discovered that Dragonball had such a rich universe that it would take several films to cover all of its treasures. My goal with this movie is not to convince existing fans that Dragonball is great, they already know this, but to give a new audience. More adults, as I was a neophyte myself before discovering the manga!”
Director Tim Van Rellim reveals the volcano
“Here, we can build a large [volcano], including the decoration of the volcano where the hero must take one of seven Dragon Balls.” The crater is impressive, gigantic artificial arena. “By day, the volcano is nothing. But at night, the lighting for the scene takes it to another dimension.” And that’s not counting the digital special effects that will fill the green screen with lava.
DBTheMovie.com posted a scan from SFX magazine which features a new interview with James Marsters (Piccolo). He reveals a few new details from the Dragonball movie.
Have you met any Dragonball fans?
Iam one. I watched every episode of Dragonball, and Dragonball Z, and Dragonball GT.
How true to the anime will the Dragonball film be?
The thing to remember about the first film is that it’s not Dragonball Z, it’s Dragonball. There was an entire season of the anime Dragonball which no one really watches, because the lead character, Goku, is just a little kid. It doesn’t quite have the power of Dragonball Z. But it is the beginning and you just can’t skip past that. In the film, they didn’t make Goku a little kid – we meet Goku on his 18th birthday. So it exists in a world kind of between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z in tone.
If you’re familiar with Dragonball, you know that my character – Lord Piccolo – starts out as a very old man. Which might be kind of a shock for people expecting the Piccolo from Dragonball Z. He’s the villain. He’s been in prison for 2,000 years, he’s old, he’s angry. His youth has been taken from him. He’s been searching for the Dragonballs so that he can turn himself back into his younger self. This is right out of the cartoon.
I fought to make him as old and ugly as possible. I wanted there to be a truly memorable transformation on with audiences going, “Oh my God, that young guy played that old guy?”
The first time we did the make up it took 17 hours. I think that was really down to me pressing for more age and more decrepitude.
Is there flying in the movie?
Oh my God, yeah. Lots of flying.
Bulma’s character, Emmy Rossum, spoke with MTV recently. She reveals a few spoilers including info regarding Piccolo and info about future DB movie merchandise including the video game and action figures.
With shooting completed for the live-action adaptation of popular anime/manga series “Dragonball,” actress Emmy Rossum told MTV News that she’s finally washed the blue coloring out of her hair and returned to a life sans catsuit and cartoon weaponry — but with a few new skills in her repertoire.
“In it, [I'm] riding a motorcyle in a leather catsuit, so that’s always fun — and I have five guns that spin all around,” said Rossum of her role as Bulma, the sometimes-partner to the film’s hero, Goku (played by Justin Chatwin). “I had never ridden a motorcycle before. I think I was more concerned about the safety of the people in the crew because sometimes I would lose control and veer randomly off into people.”
As for her character’s fondness for gunplay, Rossum said she’d never fired — or even held — a gun before “Dragonball,” but feels more than confident about pulling off her character’s trigger-happy habits thanks to some training with local Marines.
That calm-under-fire training will probably come in handy for the “Phantom of the Opera” actress, considering the level of scrutiny an adaptation of one of the anime and manga worlds’ most popular properties brings with it. According to Rossum, fans should be pleasantly surprised with the way the property has been translated to a live-action project.
“When I signed on to the project, I was a big fan of the anime and knew [Bulma] as the iconic blue, bobbed character and wanted to stay true to that — but we also wanted to make it realistic,” explained Rossum. “So in keeping with the director and what the studio really wanted, we adapted her look to be a little more realistic and human, and little bit more believable for contemporary day. She’s pretty bad-ass, but still quirky and fun, and kind of ridiculous in the way she is in the anime.”
That doesn’t mean the legions of “Dragonball” faithful aren’t far from her mind, though. Rossum said her first encounter with “Dragonball” was the Saturday morning cartoon, only to realize that “it’s really so much more than that — from the comic to [the cartoon] to the whole franchise and brand, so many people feel such a closeness to these characters.”
“So, it’s a little bit stressful to play a character that so many people hold close to their hearts,” she admitted, “but you just hope you do it justice and they like it.”
Rossum also hinted at a few aspects of the film that should have fans guessing, telling MTV News that she’s “seen some wax molds” for potential action figures, and cautiously acknowledged that a video game based on the film was “a possibility.”
Possibly the most interesting tease she offered up was her anticipation of not only seeing “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum James Marsters appear on screen in his role as Lord Piccolo, but also “an incredible monster that I can’t talk about that is very, very tall.”
“It’s actually a very tall man — an 8-foot man,” she added. “It’s based on something else from the… You know, I can’t really say anything else.”
Motorcycle incidents and catsuits aside, Rossum said she’d be up for a return to the role in a “Dragonball” sequel, and vehemently denied rumors that the project was in danger of being cancelled or otherwise shut down.
“Oh, no. I really doubt that’s possible,” said Rossum. “That’s not going to happen.”
Our friends over at DBTheMovie.com managed to get an exclusive with the new casted character, Gabriela de la Garza. It was revealed not too long back that she was added to the Dragonball movie cast. She reveals more details on her minor role in this interview.
DBtheMovie: What is your characters role / purpose in the movie? How long were you on set? Gabriela de la Garza: I am an Avatar, and I give information to other characters. I was only one day on set and one day for wardrobe and make-up design which is awesome.
DBtheMovie: Were you familiar with Dragonball before being cast? A: I knew Dragon Ball Z from the Tv series and of course also knew the impact it has worldwide. Thats why despite of having a small role, I really was excited to do it. Is one of those experiences, full of fantasy, you dont have every day.
DBtheMovie: How was it like working with the director James Wong? A: Working with James Wong was great. He is a very specific kind of person and he can really transmit the idea he has for every scene. He really cares about the details so I am sure the movie will be beyond extraordinary!
DBtheMovie: Where did you shoot your scenes? A: I shot my scenes with a green screen at Estudios Churubusco.
DBtheMovie: Did you get to work with any of the cast? A: I worked alone, I mean with no other member of the cast. I met Justin [Chatwin] while doing our make up and he is a very cool guy, He was exited to be working in Mexico. We had a nice talk.
DBtheMovie: And finally, do you think the fans of the show will be satisfied with this adaptation? A: Be sure not only the fans, but everybody who sees the movie will be very, very pleased and satisfied with the result. I think the director, the cast, the production, everything is part of a huge success, and I am very proud to be part of it.
The composer of the Dragonball movie score, Brian Tyler, was recently interviewed and mentioned details on the Dragonball movie music. You can download the full interview here or view the Dragonball portion via YouTube thanks to DBtheMovie.com below.
Brian Tyler says that Dragonball is based in fantasy and thus the score will be more whimsical than his other scores for films based in reality. He also mentions that the tone is “Transformers meets Harry Potter”.
Just a reminder, the official Dragonball movie trailer will release October 17th 2008 during the premiere of the upcoming movie “Max Payne”. So expect a leaked copy of that trailer to release within the next coming weeks. We will keep you posted.
A new (well slightly, was shown a month ago) interview featuring Eriko Tamura (who plays Mai) has surfaced. Thanks to LegendaryForums for finding this.
You have a successful career in Japanese entertainment and are now expanding your career into the US. Have you experienced any differences between the two?
Yes, there are many differences. I don’t even know where to start! I have been very fortunate to work in television series and movies nonstop since I first started out in the entertainment industry. I also toured and sang in concerts all over Japan. Yes I did it all! In Japan, you’re expected to conquer everything. Here in the U.S., you have the luxury of focusing on one thing at a time, (which I think is great). This really gives me the power to focus on my acting and be able to control where I want to go.
Is there any other particular difference you could share with us?
Oh, here’s another thing that’s different! I just came back from filming in Durango, Mexico. (Eriko was filming a 20th Century Fox movie called “Dragonball” for three months) I was surprised to see everyone brought their girlfriend or boyfriend to the set. That would never happen where I come from! If it did, you can be sure to find yourself in the gossip headlines the very next day. In Japan, work is strictly work. Also, actors in Japan bring 2-3 people (managers) with them to the set whereas actors in the U.S. would normally go to work by themselves, which is how I like it! In Japan, it doesn’t matter if you’re well known or not, what matters is the agency you belong to. It’s a power play between the agencies that compete with each other. I know it may sound funny, but that’s how it is in the Japanese entertainment industry. I can’t imagine bringing a guest in Japan, so even after learning that’s common here, I still didn’t have the guts to bring a guest to the set, until the very end of shooting!
What is it like working in Hollywood for you?
It’s been great. I enjoy working in American films. Though I must say it is tough, and competition is extremely high. In America, you have to be focused all the time, and if you’re not, you can lose it in an instant. It really makes me challenge myself as an actor to always push my limits and strive to do better.
I met some wonderful people while filming Dragonball. To be able to work with people like Jim, Tim, Rod and my co-stars was a reward for me. When you genuinely like the people you’re working with, it becomes about more than making a movie, and becomes a lifetime experience. I feel very lucky to be a part of Dragonball.
It was a turning point for you in the US when you played the role of Princess Yaeko in the Hit TV series Heroes on NBC.
Thank you. Yes, I was very happy when I heard the good news. Heroes opened a lot of doors for me. I’m a fan of the show and was excited to become a part of it. At first I was a little nervous being the new person on the show, but soon felt welcomed and comfortable. I appreciate the producers and the writers for taking me under their wings. Masi Oka, who plays Hiro, as well as David Anders, who plays Kensei, were really great to work with. On a TV series, the cast and crew spend so much time together that you become a family, making the experience so much fun! I had such a wonderful time working on the show.
Oh, Kensei is sort of a bad guy in Heroes!!!
In reality, David is such a caring person, and a great actor.
Have you struggled with being typecast in typical Japanese roles?
I must say I’ve been very lucky. For example in Heroes, although Princess Yaeko is a woman from a different era, they were looking for someone who could bring strength to the character. I think the writers believed that even in that particular period in Japan, there must have been a woman like that, and I agree. Historically, Japanese woman have the image of “walking three steps behind the man”. Yaeko is a modern, “Americanized” woman who believes in herself.
I was able to relate to her. I myself had to be strong when I came to the U.S., not knowing anyone here and starting over from zero. Yaeko may not be what you would think of as a “typical” Japanese woman, which made it even more interesting to me.
The writers are unbelievably talented! I couldn’t wait to read the scripts, and once I started, I couldn’t stop. The whole experience working on HEROES was great. It was rewarding as an actor to play a character from such a well-written script, and I got sucked into the story.
How was it with Dragonball?
In Dragonball, I was thrilled to be cast in this role, especially since they were looking for an actor of any ethnicity to portray this strong character. This was my first studio film in the U.S. and I played a villain for the first time in my career! Mai, the character I play, is a killer. I also got to do a lot of wire action scenes. That was so much fun! Filming Dragonball definitely brought new challenges and I loved it. Look out for Dragonball coming out next year, and please go see it.
Edward French (the make up designer for Piccolo) has posted up a sneak peak at Piccolo. He says he can’t reveal Piccolo’s face yet due to FOX (which you can see via our gallery). Here’s the full details from the scan.
As many of you hardcore sci-fi fans know, I applied the Piccolo make up for the soon to be released feature film Dragonball. To the many hyper loyal fans of Dragonball…I hope you understand that Iam obligated by the almighty 20th Century FOX to keep Piccolo’s kisser top secret for the time being. When this eagerly awaited epic opens I will be posted a complete step by step photo gallery of the amazing transformation of James Marsters into Lord Piccolo. Stay tuned to this webpage.
Informador has reported that Mexican actress Gabriela de la Garza will be featured as a new character in the upcoming Dragonball film.
Gabriela de la Garza remember her fun work in the film: “My character is virtual! It’s like a computer, to all who arrive to the city and want communicate with her, gives them instructions. The hairstyle, clothing, everything was fantastic. ”
The actress explains further that “always shot my scenes with green screen (green screen that allows overlay landscapes) and James Wong was directing me, is a great filmmaker.
Almost a year ago, the director James Wong was visiting several countries, including Mexico, looking for the perfect place to shoot the film version of live action, Dragon Ball. And he was convinced by Durango, where are deserts and snow and Santa Fe, in the Federal District, to recreate the atmosphere of the original comic by Akira Toriyama.
In the first place he recreated the fight of Goku and the devil Piccolo, as happens in the animated television series and in the second a city of the future.
A new scan is also available with this information.
Weaver (Luis Arrieta) is one of the new characters added to this adaptation. Joker from Movieland got a chance to have an exclusive with him. He mentions that his role is not that big and is more than likely NOT Goku’s best friend, in which many people speculated that he was. I was able to translate the interview.
How were you able to enter the production of Dragonball?
Well, like any other casting, I went to the audition and spent several weeks until I knew that I had been casted. I do not know how difficult it was for the director and production chosen and then as an actor you never fully know, which is that if it were so many actors to casting.
Are you a fan of Dragon Ball?
The truth is that I was not a fan, although I knew about the series, so obviously when I learned that I had been casted, I began to investigate anything that could be Dragon Ball.
How many days did you participate in the film?
I filmed only in Mexico City I had several days of design and image apparel. All of my scenes were filmed in one day.
How was the production of Dragonball?
The truth is that it was unbelievable. Both production as the Mexican American I was treated very well. It was also very gratifying to work with the actors and the crew.
How was it filming a big budget movie?
Well obviously it is impressive to see the number of people and equipment there. In truth I felt very fortunate to be able to be in something that big and important.
What we can say about your character?
My character is called Weaver. And well though I go out very little in the film and see what they contributed to history.
Initially there was a misunderstanding with the name of your character, stating that it was Teto, but after it was learned that it was Weaver?
If I knew once I met a IMDB and saw the credit. The good news is that they changed it.
Do you think the movie is a good adaptaion?
In fact the script is well written and very entertaining. I suppose that if things were adapted to make a film stronger because it is impossible to put in two hours of film to all the characters in the series and all the stories.
Did you see Goku fight in live action?
Actually I did not see any fight scenes.
Do you think the main actors Justin Chatwin, Chow Yun Fat, were good choices?
I believe it is. All besides being good actors, is put very well in their characters.
What are the chances of participation in the aftermath of Dragonball, as it says it will be a trilogy?
I do not know if there will trilogy.
Have you had contact with the production after the shooting, have you seen scenes from the movie?
No, but I’m eager to see how it is coming along.
There are many fans who will have much fear of this adaptation, think that is not true to the spirit of Dragonball … to be a sort of Smallville … what can you say to these fans?
The only thing I can say to fans is that they are open to seeing a new proposal for Dragon Ball. I was always such a fan of Batman and was very scared when they would leave the new version of Christopher Nolan and the truth is that they became equal to or better than the first Batman.
Do you have a story of the filming that you can share?
Well, as you’ve seen the photos that were slipped to the Internet and hair discoloration that I dyed yellow. It was good for a while but then I gave punishment take to the streets, it was transforming into an orange color.
What other projects have in cinema? I learned that you have founded a film production company with other actors?
Now I’m filming the new film by Gustavo Loza. For now called to continue although a tentative name. Because if I have a producer with Luis Ernesto Franco and Ana Serradilla. We now have three indents we’re trying to lift. One of them would be a co-production with the United States is about to consolidate.
Is there a chance that your film projects in Durango?
One of the film is about family and inter alia with the facilities that this giving in Durango is now quite possible that if we could go there.
DBTheMovie has translated an interview from Variety that contains Jamie Chung (Chi Chi) speaking about her role in the Dragonball movie.
Jamie Chung, she appeared at the interview room in very high tension. As soon as she found out I was Japanese, she asked me the question, “Is it true that all Dragon Ball characters names derive from the name of vegetables?” The name of the Saiyan is so, I explained, she said “Well, what does Chi-chi mean in Japanese? Shooting place in Mexico, the crew spoke Spanish, all of them laughed when they called my name Chi-chi, I asked why they were laughing, they said that Chi-chi means boobs in Spanish!” I was surprised, in fact almost the same meaning in Japanese, when I told her it, “No!” She was shocked and put her hands on her head, but she rebound quickly, and showed an impish smile.
She is 25-years-old, a Korean American who was born and raised in San Francisco. The family lived in the Japan Town, She grew up surrounded by Japanese culture. The city where anime events are often held is her playground, Jamie says “Dragon Ball” and “Hello Kitty” is her Idol.
She knows the importance and high-visibility of Dragon Ball in Japan, so she take great care of Japanese fans.
“I know that a lot of Japanese actors wanted to play the movie’s roles, so I gave my best for Japanese fans to be satisfied with it, I’m happy if you enjoy. Director James Wong did diligent research, he read a lot of Japanese manga, I’m sure that this movie will be respecting the original as much as possible. I heard that his son who hadn’t read Dragon Ball yet, read it around this time and was fascinated with it. Japanese people may think the Japanese should be cast more in the movie, but when we thought of the story, Goku is an alien. Justin Chatwin looks astonishingly like Goku, I think he is exactly Goku. He looks like Japanese a little bit (laugh). ”
The most powerful woman to play, her weak scene was……
“Chi-chi is one of the strongest women. To play the action heroine is the dream of every actress. There are a lot of roles for romantic comedy and melodrama, but action heroine not so much. Producer Stephen Chow couldn’t come to the set, but he gave us a lot of the ideas for actions before the shooting, at the same time I watched the Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle to research action scenes. Staff of action sequences were very excellent, and I believe it will be amazing scenes mixed with various martial arts like tae kwon do and so on.
Jamie is slender and it looks like she has excellent reflexes. Her most
difficult scene was not action scene, she said.
“It was kiss scene, because it was the first time for me……. This didn’t have choreography (unlike the action scenes), I had to think for myself. I was so nervous. It was very difficult, more so than action scenes (laughs).”
When I asked about Eriko Tamura, she showed beaming face.
“Eriko is a very good friend! She is a great, beautiful, cute and polite. She played Mai, a very evil and dark character, though she is very good and cheerful. But she is a method actor (acting based on the experience) so she got into the role even in the break time of shooting and controlled herself if she wanted to have a chat. She tried very hard.
A new interview with Jamie Chung (role of Chi Chi) has surfaced over at IGN.
IGN: Dragonball has such a huge following. Were you aware of it beforehand?
Chung: I’m so scared… I grew up watching Dragonball. Are you kidding me? I love it! So, to play Chi Chi, the girl that I admired, is kind of crazy. I kind of wanted to be Bulma, but Emmy Rossum is perfect for Bulma. She really fits the character essence and everything.
IGN: What was the shoot like?
Chung: It was awesome. A major motion picture and a TV schedule is so different and the budget’s are so different, and the magic that you can make happen is amazing.
IGN: Were you able to take any of the things you’d learned on Samurai Girl and use them in Dragonball?
Chung: Oh, yeah. And I learned even more on Dragonball and I brought it to Samurai Girl. It was great!
IGN: What was it like working with your costars in Dragonball?
Chung: They’re brilliant actors. Emmy, only being 21, is an absolute pro. She knows what she’s doing, she’s absolutely gorgeous – she’s stunning. And she’s dedicated. I was in awe of her beauty. James Marsters has a huge following, but he’s so down to Earth. He’s a method actor and he’s fantastic. He’s the perfect Piccolo. I know they won’t show it to you, but the makeup they did and the mask took three hours to do, and he looks insane. They were very picky and particular on how he was going to look. Justin Chatwin is a pro. Not only does he fit the character internally — he has Goku’s essence — but he looks like a cartoon character! With his big, blue eyes, he looks like Japanese anime!
IGN: What are your outfits like in Dragonball?
Chung: Lots of boobies. I mean, it fits my character name, you know?
IGN: [Laughs] What was your reaction seeing the costume?
Chung: I’m like, “You want me to look wholesome and you want me to wear pants and not show leg, and yet I have Chi Chis!”
