Bulma Speaks Dragonball

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

bulma 01 125x110 Bulma Speaks DragonballBulma’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.”

Interview with Weaver

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

weaver luis arrieta dragon ball teto 135x100 Interview with WeaverWeaver (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.
