In perhaps the shittest casting news of the week... Justin Chatwin has just been cast as Goku, the lead protagonist in the live action adaptation of Dragon Ball Z. Don't know who Mr. Chatwin is? You may remember him as Tom Cruise's son in 2005's War of the Worlds, where he famously ran away from his family in the direction the killer aliens slaughtering mankind.Meanwhile, James Marsters will play the villain, Picollo. James Wong of Final Destination fame is directing, and Stephen Chow is producing.
Not being a fan of the franchise at all, my disappointment is somewhat limited to my total lack of caring. In any event, it's shaping up to be another one of those uber-expensive movies that studios shape their entire year's schedule around, but in the end only provide a really ordinary junkfest. yay.
Better buy some hair gel, Justin.
