Dragonball 2: Reborn Forum

So, we already knew that a sequel was already written for Dragonball Evolution, though of course we have no idea what content it features. James Marsters is the one who sprung the leak, telling an interviewer that he's getting ready to shoot the sequel after his music tour is done (...did not know he was in a band). News via Topless Robot, who, of course, called this ages ago.

Before you even ask the dreaded three-letter word ("WHY!?"), remember that as TR noted that day oh so long ago, DBE did well enough just in its foreign releases to justify the sequel, once we found out its budget was smaller than originally thought, and doubtless they think a sequel will do at least as well. So that's why.

The rest of the original interview with Marsters doesn't offer much detail on the film, though his desire to make a Piccolo-centric sequel is well-documented. He does talk a bit about the first Dragonball film and how they tried to "stay true to the essence of Dragon Ball." He also talks a bit about life after Buffy and the usual topics...and some unusual ones, like how it felt to kiss John Barrowman on Torchwood.

Let the bitching commence! To get you started-- what would you want a sequel to do, and what would you want a sequel NOT to do? And do you think Marsters is getting his wish for a film based on the Gohan-and-Piccolo-team-up arc?

@Niko: It left itself pretty wide-open for a sequel, as pretty much any potential franchise film would.

F*ck DBE I hope this is the last sequel.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

FANRAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Seriously? Haven't they done enough? I humored the first one thinking I could at least get some laughs. That didn't work out. I wasn't drunk enough. I just cried. I don't think I can do that again.

What a waste of goddamn money.

Who the F8ck approved this? THAT MOVIE WAS SO SH!!TY...

The first DBE was full of inconsistencies like I didnt watch all of it because I found it a disgrace to a treasured memory and luckly I didnt have to pay. I think the people thinking of making a sequel should be assassinated, who knows maybe Akira will hire people for us? XD

 How in anyway did this film stay true to the essence of Dragon Ball?

@Oneesama:  I dont see where you got this idea of the earth guardian from? Do you mean to say Grandpa Gohan knew the earth guardian? Because I havent seen the movie whole way through I don't know if there is even a guardian of the earth (Im pretty sure there isnt even though I didnt watch to the end) and even if Grandpa did know him that doesn't mean he would know his counterpart. Also the legend states that the "Namekians" tried to destroy earth thousands of years ago so technically the movie is saying a lot, if not, all of them are bad.
