Not Really the Dragonball Movie
Derek Janssen
some leaked teaser footage for the DBZ Movie (and finding instead only
interviews where Jamie Chung tries to get reporters off of DBZ questions
long enough to plug her "Samurai Girl" show...)--
And found instead what seemed to be a "leaked script" that appears to be
genuine--Or at least a genuine REJECTED earlier draft, which, don't
worry, looks like it *ain't* the one we're getting.
(Among other things, the plot here doesn't even mention the Tournament,
which we already know is the focus of the actual Movie.)
Still, for those wishing to be forewarned, does hint at a few early
draft-salvaged ideas about whether or not the setting is Earth, and what
the heck Goku is doing going to high school in the city:

(Too bad, this one at least managed to work Pilaf and the Ox King into
the story with a reasonable degree of plausibility...)

wrong for a white person to play Goku rather than an actor who is of
Asian origin. He stands out too much when compared to the other cast
and it makes it seem that the movie follows the mighty whitey trope.
It also seems that a non-Asian was cast to play Goku to appeal to
white fanboys who have an Asian women fetish.

No, judging from the early "Poor misunderstood zero-to-hero Goku Parker"
script, we pretty much know the reason for the casting was the same
impetus as the rest of the movie:
"Just keep pretending it's Smallville, and maybe they won't notice it's
a different show." 9_9

Or, "its Hollywood and they're chronically incapable of making
a good movie, despite the hundreds of braindead chimpanzees
who say otherwise."
Starting the minute I click "send" I am no longer
acknowledging that this movie exists.

"Zero"? Sounds more like the Harmony Gold script.

And this could not be done if an Asian was cast to play Goku?
