Something which I’m sure will interest some of my site visitors, the sneak peek for the upcoming Batman: Gotham Knight DVD release has popped up on YouTube. Produced by Bruce Timm (automatic point on the awesome scale), the straight to DVD movie is the combination of segments animated by several anime studios. It’s shaping up to look pretty snazzy so far with some real talent behind it and some classy reimaginings. I definately recommend fans of the dark knight check it out.

Watch the sneak peek here.

News is out, though yet to officially confirmed, that James Wong will be directing the 20th Century Fox adaptation of Dragonball Z. Included with this is also a cast breakdown, which if true, shows that the adaptation is infact Dragonball, the original series (with a much more managable cast size) instead of DBZ.

The basic plot keeps fairly true with the original series, greatest noticable differance being Goku, who begins the series as a socially unaccepted 18 year old school student. This brings to question what era or culture this movie will take place in, for none is given as of yet. Other main characters include Bulma, Yamcha, Lord Piccolo, Gohan and Master Roshi.

Full details including character breakdowns can be read here.

Despite the excitement surrounding the Canadian premiere of Ghibli Studio’s Spirited Away, fans around the country are being disappointed by major editing, including over thirty minutes of cut footage. As much as fans love the support for Ghibli movies by Disney and our Canadian broadcast channels, not to mention spreading it to thousands of television sets, is this manglement worth our time? CBC will get a lot of unhappy e-mails over this one, especially with an agreement between Disney and Ghibli studios forbidding such broadcasting edits.
