Early Concept Art Plansiete.com has a video interview with Jonay Bacallado, a concept artist for Dragonball. You can watch the interview (in Spanish) here, or read a translation (thanks to Jonathan Martinez) below.
Narrator: His latest project has entered a whole new realm of difficult creativity, It involves the diversion of the reality of the dragonball series. His ambition was to give the characters a “new look” than in the manga, while still keeping the spirit of it in tact.
Jonay: This is one of those projects where the artist already has a reference to look off of; my job was not as big as that of say, the producer, because I already had a reference to expand from. To tell you the truth, It was really complicated, we had so much work to do to redesign every character to get them to where they’re at now.
Here is the concept art featured in the video (via):
Dragonball GT is just plain stupid and ruined the dragonball image. I mean if you notice one thing, the whole point that makes the character interesting is way way off in GT. Vegeta coporating with Goku (numerous times in GT) and willingly? The notion of goku's wife and the rest of gangs being always "conveniently" at the scene of battle and tend to stick like glue? Instead of "mano a mano" fight, it became a rather "heck as long we win, we don't care how even if we join forces against one guy" style.
Emmy and Justin in Tokyo Emmy Rossum (Bulma) updated her blog today from Tokyo. She says Justin Chatwin (Goku) was on the plane ride over there with her, so they may be in Japan to promote Dragonball.
And speaking of Tokyo and Dragonball, just a reminder that Jump Festa will be showing specially selected scenes from the movie on December 20th. If you pre-order tickets you’ll also be treated to a Goku or Piccolo bearbrick toy.
There were rumors that Justin Chatwin would be at the Dragonball movie panel at Jump Festa (where the movie clips will be shown), and this new blog post from Emmy could mean both of them will be attending.
Making a Trailer Does Not Take This Long We’ve been pretty patient for some kind of official trailer to be released this year. First at the beginning of the year when the release date was still August 15th, then when the film was pushed back to April, and then even more when Fox claimed the trailer was still not ready in October. Now it looks like the trailer won’t even be released…this year.

We had hoped to finish it in time for that delivery but it looks like it may be debuting later now. Still waiting to hear for sure
What a horrible decision (if true). I hate to draw comparisons, but many films that come out later than Dragonball already have full-length trailers and dozens of stills. It simply does not take this long to put out a teaser trailer. I sincerely hope Fox hires faster trailer editors in the future so other films don’t have to suffer from horrible promotion.
Maybe if you shout really loud in the comments section they will put one out. But I doubt it.
