FINALLY some good news!
I've been contacted by someone(I can not let you know whom) but I've been approved to quote whole that mail and let you all know about it:
My comment:
For me, this is ULTRA encouraging and bringing back some hope to me...I really felt soooooo much better when I read it and I am so much thankful to that someone(sorry, again, I can't tell you whom ^^) Kami bless him and I hope it will make you happier as it did make me
Bottomline, WHATEVER happens, never give up, giving up was NEVER an option!
Sequels are infront of us, therefore wherever you go, wahtever you do, never accept this rape, always spread the word and boycott Fox whenever you can!
Here is another piece of news not yet posted on your forum that we think you would be thrilled to share:
http://ent.sina.com.cn/m/f/2009-02-19/23122383039.shtml
(translation){{{
Stephen Chow was said to be dissatisfied with having no actual power as producer; Refuses to advertise "Dragonball"
Sina Entertainment
According to "Apple Daily", Hollywood live action movie "Dragonball Evolution" has already entered countdown for release. The movie had been anticipated by Asian moviegoers because it was based on a Japanese manga, produced by Stephen Chow, and starred by Chow Yun-Fat. However during the promotion in Taiwan and Korea no sign of Stephen Chow the producer was seen, only Yun-Fat was there to manage the scene. Some sources state that Stephen had repeatedly suggested revising the script, but they were all ignored, making him feel looked down upon and so refused to attend any promotion activities in protest.
The Fox sponsored, Stephen Chow produced, James Wong directed, Chow Yun-Fat and Justin Chatwin starred manga live action movie "Dragonball" will start screening next month, and Yun-Fat has already began his Asian promotion tour, but no sign of Stephen the producer was seen. Some US sources state that when the film began shooting, Stephen already had conflicts with the filmakers, so he was very unhappy with them.
Stephen is producer only in name and has no actually power, so he refused to do promotion
It was said that after Fox bought the rights to the Japanese manga "Dragonball", they had invited Stephen to be director, but he was busy with filming CJ7, so he only agreed to be producer, and Fox turned to James Wong to direct. At the start of filming, Stephen was really ethusiastic at the thought of cooperating with Yun-Fat, seen especially in his numerous suggestions to casting, scripting, make design and special effects during the planning. But these suggestions were all rejected by Fox executives, causing Stephen who enjoyed high prestige in the Hong Kong cinema industry to lose face. Since his first job as a Hollywood producer was only in name but has no actually power in decisions, Stephen decided no to attend any of the promotional activities for the movie in protest.
Stephen admitted that his suggestions had not been accepted, and did not have an actual role
A reported phoned Stephen to confirm, and he replied: "I am not able to attend the promotional activities because of the timing, and that promotion is not my job, so I already have other work scheduled". Regarding the rumours of him being producer without actual decision powers, Stephen said: "A movie has many types of producer, and I was the kind of advisory type of producer. Except for giving a few suggestions, I did not have an actual role". When asked if his suggestions were not accepted, he replied: "It's true they did not accept my decisions. Maybe they thought those weren't suitable, so they didn't use them. They have their own reasons for not accepting, but I won't mind, since it's the movie company who makes the decisions". When the matter of "Dragonball" author Toriyama Akira being dissatisfied that the movie isn't true to the original story, Stephen said: "Sorry, no comment".
Movie was criticized for lacking the original spirit
Ever since this movie adapted from the famous Japanese manga "Dragonball" began filming, it was criticized for lacking the original spirit, and even Toriyama Akira couldn't help to point out the movie did not look like his work at all.
The make did not fit the original
Kamesennin, the teacher of the main character Gokuu and played by Chow Yun-Fat, was bald, had a white beard, wears sunglasses, and looks strange in the original manga, but none of these traits were found on Yun-Fat.
Background was way off from the original
The original manga talks of Son Gokuu growing up in the mountains meeting the scientist girl Bulma, and then going off on the journey to seek the Dragonballs. But in the movie the Goku played by Justin Chatwin was a high school student who was told by his dying grandfather to gather the Dragonballs.
Artistic design had failed
The "Dragonball" manga and anime was loved by fans because of Toriyama Akira's colourful universe and interesting character designs, but the artistic design in the movie was dark and the camera leaned towards being grim, just like some regular Hollywood film.
}}}
So there you have it. Following Toriyama-sensei another public figure coming out to speak against this abomination.
On a side note, from what was seen on your forum, it seems that a considerable number of people from the western world still do not understand that Toriyama-sensei seemed to be praising in this comment when in between the lines he was actually expressing criticism. Over here everyone except for those sent to advertise have very much acknowledged that he was saying this abomination has nothing to do with his masterpiece, advised people not to be fooled by the title, and wrapped up by ironically expressing doubt over its ability to become a powerful movie.
The battle is heating up as the day approaches, so I wish you and all comrades fighting this atrocity the best of luck. GANBARE!!!!!

Re: FINALLY some good news!
Guess I had it wrong on Chow. I will no longer have an embargo on his films and enjoy Kung Gu Hustle again! My guess is that this is an exclusive to our forum.
Many people say that those who don't show their faces are coward, but some do it to protect themselves or others they love, so this person who gave you the info is very brave in my opinion.

Re: FINALLY some good news!
*Reads news and a tear falls from my eye*
So Steve truly didn't have anything to do with it? He just sort of got the project up off the ground before anyone had been casted and before the shitty story changes popped up...?
And Toriyama Sensei truly does hate the movie like I always knew...?
*Curls up into a ball and springs up suddenly*
OOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Kicks several DBE supporters off a cliff*
TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING SUPPORTERS!!!!

Re: FINALLY some good news!
YES!! YES!! CALLED IT!
I KNEW IT. I knew Toriyama would never sell out. He as given in to the fans all his life, but his was just to much. I mean come on.
And as for Chow...he as my respect, and i hope that if they ever want to try this again (not fox though), he should be the director, and gives us something to be proud of.
My wish as been granted
GO US.

I didn't talk about that with him, but its just important for him to stay anonymous, so sure.
I mean, logically since he let me post it here I don't see why not anywhere else, since the point of it was to advertise those news!

I doubt that the DBE suporters will take this seriously. I mean, the is information that originated from our forum. They will never take it as truth. That doesn't matter though. What does matter it that WE know the truth XD

^they already know the main part of the truth...its just the thing that they didn't understand it quite good, and have been trying to turn it look like Akira Toriyama Sensei is praising the movie wholeheartedly, while thats ridiculous!...not to mention how much more literal most of it sounds when translated to English.
