If the prophecy is true, we have no time to waste.
And, with that quote, the following Dragonball movie trailer kicks into high gear.
Check it out now:
As the character of Bulma in next year's Dragonball movie, Emmy Rossum will portray a role well-known to geeks around the world.
That's a lot of pressure.
"When I signed on to the project, I was a big fan of the anime and knew [Bulma] as the iconic blue, bobbed character and wanted to stay true to that — but we also wanted to make it realistic,” the actress told MTV. “So in keeping with the director and what the studio really wanted, we adapted her look to be a little more realistic and human, and little bit more believable for contemporary day. She’s pretty bad-ass, but still quirky and fun, and kind of ridiculous in the way she is in the anime.”
Thanks to the October issue of Japanese magazine Roadshow, we've uncovered a few Dragonball spoilers.
Here's a look at the general plot of the upcoming live-action movie, based on the famous Japanese series:
The outed details revealed that Goku will take on his journey to find Master Roshi and the seven Dragon Balls after his adoptive father Grandpa Gohan made his dying request. On his way to Roshi, he meets Bulma who then joins him to help him in his mission.
When arriving at Roshi's place, he is not welcomed with embrace but he has to fight Roshi. But, Roshi soon learns that Goku is Gohan's grandson and thus trains him to prepare him for the ultimate battle with Lord Piccolo to prevent him from collecting the powerful orbs.
Justin Chatwin stars as Goku in Dragonball.
When Max Payne comes out on October 17, it will be preceeded by a trailer for the live-action Dragonball movie.
Opening on April 10, Dragonball stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson.
The movie is adapted from the Japanese anime series.
Fans are excited for Dragonball.
The movie version of Dragonball is set to his theaters on April 10, 2009.
But you needn't wait that long to receive an early look at the film. Here are a pair of photos of Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum in action...

A Japanese poster for the big scren version Dragonball - featuring Justin Chatwin as Goku - has been released.
Opening April 10, 2009, the movie adaptation stars James Marsters, Jamie Chung, Emmy Rossum, Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson.
Tough news, Dragonball fans:
James Marsters, who plays the villainous Lord Piccolo in the live-action version of the anime series Dragonball, recently told the Japanese magazine Jump Square that there are plenty of changes in store for fans of the original show.
"Definitely the story of this movie is different from the original, said the actor. "But it’s a necessary change because we need to condense the long story of the original for a movie."
Another bad sign for the Dragonball purists is Marsters' admission that "some characters in the original don’t appear in the movie... Though there are differences between the two, I think it is all right if the core part of Dragonball remains."
Do you agree, readers? Are you looking forward to this big screen adaption?
