Some Updates.

Dragonball may be changed to Dragonball Evolution

Trailer Won't Be Released Till Next Year


Emmy Interview
Japanese website Oricon Style has a new interview with Emmy Rossum.

What scene were you impressed with?

Kamehameha! I’m sure you can enjoy various action scenes like Goku vs. Piccolo.

Is it an action movie?It is an action adventure movie.

and there is a little comedy element, as with the original “Dragonball.” Although it has intense action, it is a movie everyone can enjoy.

How do you interpret the character of Bulma?

For me, Bulma is a intellectual scientist and a strong women. I knew Dragonball a little because the animation aired in the mornings on the weekend in the U.S. However, when I got this role, I wanted to know her more so I studied by seeing the anime again and reading the comic.

Did you know the popularity (of Dragonball)?

It may not be as popular as it is in Japan, but it’s popular in the U.S. too. I feel the responsibility to fans both in Japan and the U.S.

Did you enjoy action scenes?

Of course. About 90% I performed for myself without a stunt double. I learned martial arts and I rode a motor bike, although I had never ridden one before, so I had to train hard for this role.

Weren’t you injured?

I’m not injured but I made a lot of bruises. The hairstyle of Bulma is the ponytail at a high position so it became a very good cushion when I turned over or fell down (laugh).
