Chow rolls to Fox for ‘Dragonball’
Dec 19, 2007
Chow Yun-Fat is the latest to join 20th Century Fox’s live-action adaptation of “Dragonball.”
Chow will play Master Roshi. He rounds out a cast that includes Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung. Chow is repped by CAA.
“Dragonball” is shooting in Mexico City and Los Angeles.
The film, directed by James Wong, follows Goku (Chatwin), a warrior alien who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling mystical objects known as Dragon Balls. Stephen Chow is producing.
Master Roshi is Goku’s mentor, helping him achieve the highest state of fighting and spiritual powers.
Alright, producers of Dragon Ball, Stephen Chow included…
The casting doesn’t even make sense but if you’re going to cast a Chinese actor to play a character named “Roshi,” you might as well cast James Hong from Big Trouble in Little China.
