Dragon Ball fans have firmly buried their collective faces in their palms with the realisation that 2012 may well be the end, for their precious manga if nothing else – a second Dragon Ball movie adaptation is apparently in the works.
Known only as “Untitled Dragon Ball Reboot” so far, information is thankfully scant – protagonist Son Goku will supposedly be played by Jon Foo, known for roles in a number of mid-profile action and martial arts movies.
Direction is by Takashi Yamazaki, a director with a number of Japanese movies to his name, under the auspices of Paramount Pictures for an estimated 2012 release.
The much reviled Hollywood adaptation was itself supposed to have a sequel in the planning stages, so just where this leaves each project is not clear; however, with not one but two potential new Hollywood adaptations things are not looking up for fans of the franchise.

As I said before you can make a good DB/DBZ live action film.
First off you keep the anthropomorphic characters by making them a bit more humanoid ala starwars, treat them like human "races" and over look an explanation for them being there they are just there.
Next use capsule tech as day to day tech with a current modern earth skew.
3.If you must get rid the anthros and most powers then do a simple swap out, Puwar becomes a pretten girl who wears cat ears, shes the brains to yamchas brawn and thus has the kid sister role.
Oolong would be the typical fat token guy who can shape shift badly.
4. Get Michael Clarke Duncan to play MR bobo, who is friend and middle east butler to Kami self proclaimed protector of the world.
Its easy enough to do unfortunately Hollywood can not convert comic/game/alt fiction to film adaptation since the drugs they are on makes the alt fiction seem real thus when its converted its converted into real world fiction instead of a fiction from another world....
