Variety is reporting that the popular manga/anime Dragonball is headed for the big screen. James Wong (Final Destination) will direct the film from his own screenplay, with Kung-Fu Hustle mastermind, Stephen Chow, on board to produce the film.
Two major roles have already been cast; Justin Chatwin (War of the Worlds, The Invisible) will play Goku, while James Marsters (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel) will play Piccolo.
Filming is set to begin later this month, with 20th Century Fox eyeing an August 15th, 2008 release. Chatwin has reportedly already begun training with the stunt performance company, 87Eleven.
