[Based on] The King Piccolo Saga [Dragonball], also known as the Piccolo Daimaoh Saga (Demon Lord Piccolo Saga) is the penultimate saga from the anime Dragon Ball. It occurs after the Tien Shinhan Saga and precedes the Piccolo Junior Saga. It includes the battles between Goku and King Piccolo's sons, Goku's first encounter with the Samurai warrior, Yajirobe, Goku's quest to find the Holy Water, his final battle with young King Piccolo, and the birth of Piccolo Junior.
wentieth Century Fox with comedian Stephen Chow (Shaolin Soccer; Kung Fu Hustle) is producing the live-action movie "Dragonball." James Wong (X-Files; Final Destination), is signed to direct. Ariel Shaw is the special FX director. Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds) will portray Goku. James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is cast as Piccolo. Jamie Chung has signed on as Goku's love interest, Chi Chi (Jamie Chung); Joon Park (Speed Racer) is Yamcha; Eriko Tamura (Heroes) plays Mai; Emmy Rossum (Phantom of the Opera) plays Bulma; Chow Yun-Fat has been cast as Master Roshi and Randall Duk Kim (The Matrix Reloaded; Memoirs of a Geisha) is Granpa Gohan.
Principle photography began in November 2007; production moves to Mexico in January, 2008 for a worldwide release on August 15th, 2008. Filming is expected to finish in March. About 85% of the film will be shot in Durango, Mexico. Locations include the Mexiquillo Forest, Marley Ranch, Hacienda la Providencia, La Joya Ranch, Laguna Seca de Santiaguillo and a forum from a Convention Center in the Culture Institute. Production will move to Estado De México for some shots at the volcano Nevado de Toluca. No announcement has been made on the film's budget, although IMDB lists it as 100.000.000 dollars. James Marsters has recently stated that the budget is 100 mililon dollars.
The film is being delayed due to the need of more time for special effects, and so that when Dragonball is released it won't face as much competition from other movies.http://www.dragonballmovieblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/goku-1.jpg
