Emo Goku Comes to the CW

Here’s Justin Chatwin as Goku looking like he just walked off the set of “Gossip Girl.” Audrey and I get two flavors of CW on our cable-less tele and I swear, the network is a factory for generic emo boys and vapid women.

Anyway, back to Chatwin. Just not feeling this. The only thing I’ve really seen him in was that Invisible movie. He had the same expression throughout the film which is slightly disturbing as I think if you suddenly found out you were a walking spirit, you’d show some emotion other than vacant emo stare. I just don’t see him as goofy, fun loving, slightly demented, Goku. You never see Goku without a big toothy grin unless he’s kicking some ass. And even then, he laughs his way through fights. I don’t know, maybe they’re trying to inject some seriousness into this thing.

Not sure who I would cast instead. Hell, not sure I would even bother making this thing. I always want to see more of Tony Jaa. He certainly has the action chops and I think he can pull off a big toothy grin while kicking major ass. Meh. Whatever. I think I’m genetically disposed to not like this.

    Agreed Tony Jaa is awesome and so is Dragon Ball, but this movie has steaming pile of crap written all over it and I wouldn’t want Tony Jaa to be associated with that. Also Tony Jaa is an amazingly gifted athlete in real life. His main appeal to me is the amazing things he can do. DBZ is more about flying around and energy burst type attacks, which would require CG or wires or something. I agree he could pull off the role, but it seems a waste of his natural talents.

    All those studio execs and not one of them thought “This is retarded”?

    Next up, Naruto!

    I doubt you’ll see Tony Jaa anywhere near things like this. I heard he only wants to to do films in/about/promoting Thailand. Has anyone seen a film called Volcano High? I don’t know the actors name, but the guy who played the lead boy in that would be a good Goku.

    The only show I watch on CW is Supernatural…I used to watch Smallville…but damn, once Lana became a…witch, wasnt it? I gave up on it.

    But yes…this looks like crap.

    It’s sad, DBZ is actually a decent show…but this looks like a real steamer. It’ll still do good, I mean the rabid fans will hit it no matter what. Gods willing it wont be enough for a sequel though.
