Dragon Ball Z the movie?

[UPDATE]

Dragon Ball Z has been confirmed. It will star Justin Chatwin and James Marsters. See this post for more details.

—————–

If the Gazette hasn’t begun spreading lies, it is probably telling the truth when it says that a live action Dragon Ball Z movie may actually be in the works!

According to the Gazette, 20th Century Fox is working on 3 movies that are expected to be shot in Montreal next year, each having a budget of atleast $100 Million! From the source:

The films are the Night at the Museum sequel Another Night, Independence Day director Roland Emmerich’s remake of the sci-fi flick Fantastic Voyage and a big-screen adaptation of the Japanese manga Dragonball Z.

Are we hearing this right? Dragon Ball Z is an immensely successful franchise spanning mangas, animes, several video games and who knows what else (wikipedia it, dummy).

We know nothing more than this, except that production should end by next July.If this turns out to be ‘fer real!’, we might just be in for a nonsensical, but fast-paced, action-filled live action flick! Just the sort I like!

iTunes to Stop Selling NBC TV shows

NBC has declined to renew its agreement to sell its shows on iTunes because Apple refused to increase its video prices from $1.99 to $4.99!

NBC

“We are disappointed to see NBC leave iTunes because we would not agree to their dramatic price increase,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “We hope they will change their minds and offer their TV shows to the tens of millions of iTunes customers.”

Apple’s agreement with NBC ends in December. Since NBC would withdraw their shows in the middle of the television season, Apple has decided to not offer NBC TV shows for the upcoming television season beginning in September. NBC supplied iTunes with three of its 10 best selling TV shows last season, accounting for 30 percent of iTunes TV show sales.

ABC, CBS, FOX and The CW, along with more than 50 cable networks, are still signed up to sell TV shows from their upcoming season on iTunes at $1.99 per episode.

Lord Vader, Transform!

Ever wondered what a Star Wars-Transformers mashup would look like? It will sure as hell look as friggin’ cool as this! What you see above, folks is the Hasbro Star Wars Transformer Deluxe Death Star which you can buy for only $50 at Amazon!

The Vader gadget we see electronic light and sounds, a Darth Vader pilot mini figure, 2 TIE Fighter mini vehicles and 3 Stormtrooper mini figures. The Rebels will not escape this time, since Hasbro hasn’t confirmed whether there will be a convenient hole in the toy to drop that proton torpedo in.

We’ve also laid our eyes on one awesome, but weird Chewbacca-Millenium Falcon Transformer, so you never know what’ll come next. I’d like to see what they do with R2D2 and C3PO. I mean, those are actually robots! Check out the photos below!

Yo Gabba Gabba – Nickelodeon: Death to Parents

Nickelodeon is setting out to destroy parents across the country with its upcoming Yo Gabba Gabba. After you watch the following clips from the show you’ll understand why. This children’s program is hyper… very hyper. With songs like “There’s a party in my tummy, so yummy so yummy” parents around the country will be forced to listen to their children sing the same song over and over again. The show premieres on August 20 on Nick Jr.

I think what will make this show semi-enjoyable for adults is seeing celebrities embarrass themselves by doing as Elijah Wood did “The Puppet Dance.”

ReBoot Failure

As I reported earlier, ReBoot is coming back with a vengeance – a trilogy of feature-length films! Zeros2Heroes has all 5 potential stories on their site waiting for users to review them and choose the best one. The highest rated story will go on to become the story to the films.

As a huge ReBoot fan I have to report back saying that they all suck. Many of them take what ReBoot was and shove it out the window, destroying what MainFrame beautifully created in the early 90’s. None of these stories understand what made ReBoot so much fun for its viewers. It was the comedy, the silliness of the characters and the whole story itself. The idea of the hardware and software of a computer being alive and what kind of world this would create, amazed both children and geeks alike!

A lot of these new stories are dark and have twisted the computer world called Mainframe. The two most popular stories ReBoot: Arrival and ReBoot: 2.0 roughly continue from where the TV show ended, which is nice for fans but why aim for only fans. If ReBoot is coming back let it shine and expand its small audience into something great gives the franchise a base to continue to create more products than these most likely straight to DVD movies.

You can voice your own opinion on these stories on Zeros2Heroes website or you can avoid this “contest” all together and voice your opinion by not participating in this sad excuse of a rebirth.

Where are these guys?
