"The Hollywood Reporter entertainment trade newspaper reports that international star Chow Yun-Fat will play the character Master Roshi in Twentieth Century Fox's live-action film adaptation of Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball action manga. In the original manga and in the film version, Master Roshi is a mentor of the lead character Son Goku (Justin Chatwin), and he helps train Goku in martial arts."

"Chow rose to fame in Hong Kong with a series of John Woo films that included A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Hard Boiled. He found some success outside Hong Kong in such films as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Curse of the Golden Flower, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Chow joins a Dragon Ball cast that already includes Chatwin, James Marsters (Piccolo), Jamie Chung (Chi Chi), Emmy Rossum (Bulma), Eriko Tamura (Mai), and Joon Park (Yamcha). Shooting has begun in Mexico City and Los Angeles, and the studio is planning for an August 15 release."

I really want to see this now, I thought Chow retired from acting or maybe that was Jet Li. Either way I plan on seeing this movie.

Cool, looks like this will actually get made.

Lol well of course Mal. It was confirmed a while ago.

This is probably the best casting so far but that isn't saying much. I plan on seeing this movie too, Fresh. But I really do think it's going to be bad.

They're probably gonna turn it into some generic kung fu movie like a jackie chan rip off or something. >.>

Ok, at first the idea of DBZ made into a movie was ridiculous but now I've seen the line up of some actors, it's starting to look a lot better now, Wow, Chow Yun Fat.

Jet Li should join in on the fun.
