Movies: Goku Revealed & Thor & the A-Team as well!?

Too much information (read: rumours) to process so early on a Monday morning! But I am such a suckah for train wreck movies based on comics news.

So first off, let's discuss the "Dragonball" incoming craptavaganza.

The comments by people who've seen the pic are pretty favourable but...this may also be their first adventure onto the big ole' intranets. Or as Flavor Flav would put it, "SAY WHAAAA!?"

And wasn't Emily Rossum in a real movie with Gerald Butler? (Phantom of the Opera.) But I guess now she gets to be Bulma. Same with Chow Yun Fat. Pay them bills!

Yes, we all know things are going to be quality when they hire from the immense talent pool that is the cast of the Real World.

Justin Chatwin as Goku (UPDATE)

Dragonball-live posted what appears to be our first look at Justin Chatwin as Goku. The scan was said to be taken from Shonen Jump #24 in Japan.

UPDATE: Higher quality scan thanks to Sour Mikan. Click to enlarge.

Sour Mikan informs me that the scan is from Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 24 which is available officially this Monday.

I saw the same picture at Shonen Jump Spoiler forum in Japan.
#24 is available at Monday officialy.
I hope official website will update something at Monday.

Along with that he also provides us with a translation.

I’ll grant you a wish…!!

Rumor after rumor but [now] Dragonball live action movie finally comes true !
Director James Wong of Final Destination, and producer the revolutionary film maker Stephen Chow of Shaolin Soccer. Remarkable casts are Son Goku is Justin Chatwin who played Tom Cruise’s son at Steven Spielberg movie War of the Worlds, and Master Roshi is Chow yun-fat of Pirates of the Caribbean.

All Dragonball fan’s wish are granted now ! We will continue to offer new information to you on Jump Cinema Island !

And the Chinese character on the Goku’s T-shirts is “Un”(means luck, fate, fortune)

We’ll keep you updated on any new developments. And while your processing this new information, why not check out the newly revamped crew page.

And now for some A-Team and Thor news courtesy of the Latino Review:

Lemme cut to the chase. Here's what the studios would like to see:

Thor = Brad Pitt!

Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith = Bruce Willis!

I'm actually all for those two choices, so hopefully one of them gets confirmed soon.
