1) What do you think they will do for the plott?, I am hoping for a remake of the Freezer saga, or one of the brolly movies. (I would like to see them portray a super saiyan transformation, live action). Im also hoping that whatever they do, they do accurate, as long as they dont make up their own plott, there is a hope for good things.
It will most likely either be one of the early sagas such as Saiyan Saga, or one of thier own. Chances are they will make one up.
2) Who do you think the casting will consist of? and what roles will they play? (Im betting on alott of computer animation, and I mean ALOTT), like I think Lucy Lawliss (SP) would make a terrific Chi-Chi. (Lucy Lawliss <sp> Is XENA if you dont know)
There are some suggestions here: http://www.pojo.com/dragonball/whowouldplaywho.shtml
But I don't agree with some of them.
I think Lucy Liu (I think thats how it's spelled) would make a pretty good chi-chi. Remember, Dragon Ball/Z/GT originated in Japan, so the actors could be asian. I do think Jet Li would make a pretty good Vegeta. He did an awesome preformance of martial arts and such in Leathal Weapon 4, and in The One.
3) In general, How do you think the movie will turn out? Im betting that if it is accurate and smooth, it will become an instant classic for us fans.
I really can't say. It depends on the creators, and such. Alot of people expected Legacy of Goku for GBA to be the best game of all time. Was it? Definately not. It was way too short. I beat it in under an hour. I'd be suprised if I did in 30 minutes. I was very unsatisfied with it. I'd rather play a GT rip than that rubbish.
--Im betting that people like me and SSGX will stock up on movie collectables no matter how it turns out.
Y'think? :P

Sure, the uninformed fans out there that have been told countless times about how badly the American dub has been edited grow to assume that the original must have been nothing but nonstop blood and swearing... So the vast public opinion is held that the Japanese version of DBZ is "rated R" material...
But that public opinion isn't based on anything but heresay...
I've personally seen the entire series in its uncut form (in subtitled format)...and it really isn't much worse than the edited American version...
The swearing is minimal... Regardless of what you hear, the original DBZ was still made for children... It began in a children's comic publication, and became a children's cartoon... The worst it ever gets is "damnit" and the occasional "s" word... The reason most people believe that there is so much more swearing is that the early fansubbers took a lot of liberty in "spicing up" the dialogue... So you may see some lines in a sub that have the "F" word every other word...lol But that's not really the case with an accurate translation (of course, I suppose I can't say for sure, since I don't speak Japanese... But reliable sources that do speak it confirm my statements)...
There is a slight bit of nudity every now and then... But mostly done for the sake of toilet humor... Never any sexual scenes... And there's less than a dozen such scenes in all three series combined (a total of over 500 episodes)...which really isn't enough to be considered representative of the series...
The violence is also not really any worse in the original... All that gets cut out of the dub is some blood (for whatever reason, they used to digitally remove bleeding cuts... although in later seasons, that practice has been stopped) and a few really graphic scenes (a head gets sliced off, a hole gets blown through someone's stomach, etc) but again, these scenes really aren't that bad in the original... They were just seen as too "mature" for American kids, so they were taken out...
Another big sticking point in the American version is the concept of the afterlife, death, gods, etc... They masked any reference to these by calling them something else... "You'll go to the next dimension" replaced "you'll die"... And HELL was changed to HFIL (Home For Infinite Losers... I still use "HFIL" in replacement of "hell" when I type as an inside joke...lol) The diety system was changed to make it as least religious as possible... The "God" of the Earth is referred to as the "Guardian" of the Earth... The higher gods are called "King ____" (King Kai, King Yemma, etc)... But again, this was only for the early seasons... They've since began letting it go and actually saying that someone "died" or whatnot...
But all in all, the original isn't that different from the American version in terms of maturity level...
They could easily make a "true to the original" movie and give it a PG-13 rating...
