http://www.animenewsservice.com / has posted the news that Fox has just picked up the rights from Shueisha to do a live action DBZ movie. They supposdley even met with Toriyama himself (and the deal also includes other Shueisha proprties...).

Also, the people behind the first Mortal Kombat movie have picked up the rights from Madhouse to do a Live action Ninja Scroll movie. Few details have been released, but the budget is said to be around $60 million.

And for the Trifecta of movie news, Mindfire entertainment and Tecmo are working togther to produce a DoA live action movie.

Comments: No word yet on how they'll recreate the bounce, though they have computers working on it right now.

As for the DBZ movie, we'll you had to see it coming given the popularity of the title. Just hope it isn't as bad as the HK movie (They seem to be willing to spend money at least).

The Ninja Scroll movie is a shock, as while it's a cult hit in US anime circles it isn't that well known in the mainstream. The MK team worries me, though. The first movie was good, but oh boy was the second one bad...

Okay, what the hell is going on...
Person A: "You got anime in my live action!"
Person B: "You got live action in my anime!"
*both eat*
Both: "Tastes like sh*t!"

Seriously, when has this ever worked? And wasn't there already a live-action Dragon Ball? *head aches*

So, who's gonna be in the DB one, and what part are they gonna do? Not that I care, I just wanna laugh at it.

Still, I can imagin that for some unknown reason, they'll put some sort of army thing in there. Like Goku vs Freezer, with F-91's supporting him...ugh...

Just pray it doesn't end up like Fist of the North Star, or these...

No casting yet, but I bet they'll get mostly no-name people since they'll spend all of their money on the budget. That is unless they want it to look like that awfull HK movie...:P

My God, those shots look hopelessly cheesy...
They remind me of an old Jackie Chan movie, called Fantasy Mission Force. Anybody seen it?

personally I hope they cast the Rock as Goku... there's no way anyone could go into the movie and not laugh there ass off after seeing that and it might stop people from wanting a sequel
