FROM SPLASH PAGE: From the costumes to the hairdos to the chosen storyline itself, “Dragonball Evolution” may not be the “Dragonball” movie that some fans are expecting, and the film’s director and stars say they're well aware they can't please everyone -- but that doesn't mean they won't try.
MTV News spoke with the the people behind the film and in front of the camera to get a roundup of the differences fans can expect to see between the live-action film, the various "Dragonball" anime series and the original manga that started it all.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: With volume after volume of the original manga and hundreds of episodes of multiple anime series, it’s no surprise that next week’s "Dragonball Evolution" only touches the tip of the iceberg in regards to the epic mythology of "Dragonball." What is a surprise, however, is that a sequel has already been penned.
“I know they’ve written a second one and it’s pretty far out there,” actor Justin Chatwin told MTV News. Chatwin plays Goku, the hero of the tale, who seeks to recover the powerful "Dragonballs" and protect the world from the evil Lord Piccolo, played by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alum James Marsters.
