自称是“龙珠迷”的周星驰,不会在新片中再次出演悟空
贾斯汀·查特文将扮演《龙珠》中的孙悟空
终于可以“再见”了,悟空
21世纪福克斯公司近日宣布,将把日本畅销漫画《龙珠》搬上大银幕,并计划在今年年内开机。周星驰(Q吧)将担任该部电影的监制,拍摄过《死神来了》系列的华裔导演黄毅瑜出任导演,预计在明年的8月15日于北美公映。目前,福克斯公司正在进行选角。第一男主角孙悟空已经确定由曾在《世界大战》中饰演汤姆·克鲁斯儿子的贾斯汀·查特文担任。目前,贾斯汀正在特技公司的指导下进行严格的体能训练。
《龙珠》是影响最广、最为成功的日本漫画之一。这部由鸟山明创作的漫画最早刊登于漫画杂志《少年跳跃》,连载了7年,后来又改编成小说和游戏,其动画片更是在世界各国播放,整个《龙珠》系列在全球产生超过40亿美元的利润。在北美这部漫画同样受欢迎,北美地区发行时名为《龙珠Z》。
电影《龙珠》的故事与漫画还是有相当的差别。在电影中,孙悟空本是被派往地球消灭人类的入侵者,但在意外失忆之后反而成了保护地球不受外星人侵害的正义战士,而可以达成愿望的龙珠也是外星人意图染指的目标。
早报记者昨日联系到担任监制的周星驰,被询问为何不做导演时,周星驰说:“我一直以来都有个原则,只会执导自己原创的电影。”虽然只是监制,但周星驰对《龙珠》却是有很浓厚的情结。“我一直都是个‘龙珠迷’,而且我觉得这个故事很天马行空,我觉得很有创作空间。”据周星驰介绍,新一代的星女郎张雨绮也有望出演真人版《龙珠》,“我正在向剧组推荐张雨绮,希望由她来演悟空的女朋友。”

The manga, novels and series bring to the film a rich mythology and exciting, complex characters – all of which have captivated millions of fans, of all ages, around the globe. One of the greatest manga franchises ever created, DRAGONBALL has an enormous online fanbase and is consistently one of the most frequently searched-for terms on Google and Yahoo! DRAGONBALL has exploded into a global phenomenon that has generated more than four billion dollars in merchandising sales. It is considered the gold standard of anime-based video games, with more than 25 different games and over ten million units sold since May 2002. The series – 500 episodes strong – posted top ratings in Europe, Asia and the U.S.
Rising star Justin Chatwin, who portrayed Tom Cruise’s son in Steven Spielberg’s WAR OF THE WORLDS, takes on the lead role of the heroic Goku, a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the Universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name.
Chatwin has already begun a rigorous training regimen under the auspices of the premier stunt performance company, 87Eleven, which has executed or designed some of the biggest action pieces ever seen on film, in pictures such as THE MATRIX, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, MR. & MRS. SMITH, and 300.
Fan favorite James Marsters, best known for his role as the charismatic vampire Spike on the seminal fantasy series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel,” will portray the principal antagonist, Piccolo. Other major roles are currently being cast.
DRAGONBALL is produced by legendary filmmaker Stephen Chow whose best known films as an actor, director and screenwriter have featured a unique blend of martial arts action, CGI and comedy; Chow’s notable credits include the hits SHAOLIN SOCCER and KUNG FU HUSTLE. The director is James Wong, formerly an executive producer/writer on the noted genre series “The X-Files,” “Millennium” and “Space: Above and Beyond” – and the co-writer/director of the big-screen hits FINAL DESTINATION and FINAL DESTINATION 3.
The Jump Comics division of the Tokyo-based publishing house Shueisha is the publisher of the DRAGONBALL manga.
