Interview with Emmy Rossum
With shooting completed for the live-action adaptation of popular anime/manga series “Dragonball,” actress Emmy Rossum told MTV News that she’s finally washed the blue coloring out of her hair and returned to a life sans catsuit and cartoon weaponry — but with a few new skills in her repertoire.
“In it, [I'm] riding a motorcyle in a leather catsuit, so that’s always fun — and I have five guns that spin all around,” said Rossum of her role as Bulma, the sometimes-partner to the film’s hero, Goku (played by Justin Chatwin). “I had never ridden a motorcycle before. I think I was more concerned about the safety of the people in the crew because sometimes I would lose control and veer randomly off into people.”
As for her character’s fondness for gunplay, Rossum said she’d never fired — or even held — a gun before “Dragonball,” but feels more than confident about pulling off her character’s trigger-happy habits thanks to some training with local Marines.
That calm-under-fire training will probably come in handy for the “Phantom of the Opera” actress, considering the level of scrutiny an adaptation of one of the anime and manga worlds’ most popular properties brings with it. According to Rossum, fans should be pleasantly surprised with the way the property has been translated to a live-action project.
“When I signed on to the project, I was a big fan of the anime and knew [Bulma] as the iconic blue, bobbed character and wanted to stay true to that — but we also wanted to make it realistic,” explained Rossum. “So in keeping with the director and what the studio really wanted, we adapted her look to be a little more realistic and human, and little bit more believable for contemporary day. She’s pretty bad-ass, but still quirky and fun, and kind of ridiculous in the way she is in the anime.”
That doesn’t mean the legions of “Dragonball” faithful aren’t far from her mind, though. Rossum said her first encounter with “Dragonball” was the Saturday morning cartoon, only to realize that “it’s really so much more than that — from the comic to [the cartoon] to the whole franchise and brand, so many people feel such a closeness to these characters.”
“So, it’s a little bit stressful to play a character that so many people hold close to their hearts,” she admitted, “but you just hope you do it justice and they like it.”
Rossum also hinted at a few aspects of the film that should have fans guessing, telling MTV News that she’s “seen some wax molds” for potential action figures, and cautiously acknowledged that a video game based on the film was “a possibility.”
Possibly the most interesting tease she offered up was her anticipation of not only seeing “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum James Marsters appear on screen in his role as Lord Piccolo, but also “an incredible monster that I can’t talk about that is very, very tall.”
“It’s actually a very tall man — an 8-foot man,” she added. “It’s based on something else from the… You know, I can’t really say anything else.”
Motorcycle incidents and catsuits aside, Rossum said she’d be up for a return to the role in a “Dragonball” sequel, and vehemently denied rumors that the project was in danger of being cancelled or otherwise shut down.
“Oh, no. I really doubt that’s possible,” said Rossum. “That’s not going to happen.”
And now look what Son Goku cleverly concluded about the "8-foot man" part:

I am 99% convinced that Son Goku is right.
About Rossum's ridicoulous lies - I have only to say this - yeah yeah...right...you are all DB fans now...year before none of you even knew for the DB!
Its just another transparent part of Fox's filthy campaign...

Re: Interview with Emmy Rossum
hmmm..... the only true fan of the series I believe is James Marsters, well to me, he proved himself that he really watched the show, he explained the core philosophy of Dragonball, which is "friendship, struggle, and victory", Rossum, bunch of bull, Chatwin, bunch of bull, I mean don't get me wrong, it's not hard to do research on the characters, or it isn't hard to go out and buy the dvds and manga, that I have no doubt in, but I highly doubt they were fans

Make it realistic!?! I thought this was a fantasy/scifi movie not something real. Shes just a puppet to FOX. They weren't fans. I became a fan when I was 16. And still will be forever. This movie makes fun of it. I don't want Bulma to be all gun happy. Launch was gun happy.

Re: Interview with Emmy Rossum
Just ignote the film, it will be quickly forgotten. Or remembered as the worst film of all time. Either way, its gonna be shit. Don't watch it or watch it as a parody.
There isnt much we can do at this point.

Re: Interview with Emmy Rossum
@Kaypain, well Marsters might have watched it and thats ok, but that does not make him someone who really love this show, because otherwise he wouldn't look that ridiculous as a Piccolo... and he wouldn freakin refuse that role in protest to everyone of the ridiculous casts and the super retarded plot...
For Emmy Rossum I already said, I bet in my kidney that she never even heard of DB ever before and yeah, then suddenly she become a "BIG fan"(LOL!). I mean c'mon thats just posing and being Fox's puppet(like StaticInflux said nicely) in addition to please the fans...thats not purity, thats not honesty and thats certainly not fair towards the fans! thats just another filthy business!
They disgust me...
@Static Influx, well said! I mean WTF!? more realistic?!?!? WHAT ABOUT FLYING AROUND AND THROWING THE BLASTS ALL AROUND!? thats realistic and not being in a freakin high school is not realistic!?!?!
Which maybe makes me think that it will not be a single blast nor any kamehameha in the whole movie...
@Skritz, I wish it to be like you say, that's the only way I mentally survive all this...
But I am afraid that Hollywood always manage to make blockbusters even out of the stupidest movies...They always relay on the commercialism and that's their best weapon. I think nobody watch their movies cause they are good but because they're promoted very well...
I just hate them...
