Dbz World 3019

-------------------------------------THE NEW DBZ MOVIE---------------------------------

   The heroes from your favorite series are headed to the big screen. 20th Century FOX announced the acquisition of feature film rights to the “DragonBall” property, and is planning for its studio division, FOX 2000, to develop a live action movie based on the property. This is very exciting news for Dragon Ball Z fans.
FUNimation Vice President and Producer Daniel Cocanougher had this to say: “FUNimation is very excited to be working with FOX in their production of a live-action Dragon Ball Z Feature Film. FOX plans to place this movie on a fast-track production schedule, and may have a movie released as early as Fall 2003 or Summer 2004. FOX is an excellent movie studio, producing such huge hits as X-Men and Star Wars, among many others. They feel that this project will not end with one movie, but will become a major, multi-picture franchise like Star Wars. Clearly, this is a remarkable upward turning point for the Dragon Ball Z property. It will also be very interesting for all Dragon Ball Z fans to try to predict the names of the stars, the director and producers, and the storyline that will be used. FUNimation plans for its web site, www.dragonballz.com, to be the focal point of information on the production of the movie and all the fan events leading up to it. We would like to thank all the Dragon Ball Z fans worldwide for creating the excitement that allows such a major announcement as this—the new, completely original, live-action movie: Dragon Ball Z.”

June 30, 2002: -->Did you know that all the Dragon Ball epsiodes have already been translated to    english and are on video. But still YTV is not showing any new episodes yet. I will keep you up to date on any new information about dbz and YTV.

-->YTV is not showing new episodes of Dragon Ball Z for now because there contract has expired. YTV's contract is granted to show episodes 168-219. They have no information for getting a new contract so they can show 219 and beyond. For now we have to wait. But if you have Cartoon Network the channel, they play much more episodes than YTV of Dragon Ball Z.
