Some casting news announced today for Dragonbal Z. It appears Emmy Rossum has been drafted to the cast, we get the scoop from the hallowed halls of The Hollywood Reporter:
Emmy Rossum has joined the cast of 20th Century Fox’s live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese comic “Dragonball.” Rossum, who starred in “The Phantom of the Opera,” joins a cast that includes Justin Chatwin, James Marsters and Jamie Chung. The sci-fi adventure is being directed by James Wong. Stephen Chow, the filmmaker behind “Kung Fu Hustle” and “Shaolin Soccer,” is producing.
If Emmy can dance, then she will be what the industry considers a “triple threat.” I do not know much about this actress but when I googled her ass it appears that she has some CD’s out, including some christmas jams! She has some film experience thanks to: Poseidon, Mystic River and The Day After Tomorrow. I have not heard much about this actress before, but this is probably due to the fact that the 21 year old was jailbait at the time. This girl does more in an afternoon than I have done in my life.
International friends are any of you fans of this young lady, and would you care to add any commentary about her abilities?
Dragonbal Z is a crazy cartoon that I never had a chance to follow. I have seen a few episodes and remember being entertained. Steven Chow is probably the greatest possible person on the planet to back this project. Kung Fu Hustle was insane, I wanted to join the axe gang the day after seeing that movie. I look forward to his trademark style again in this picture. This is one that I will continue to snoop on with interest.
Until then, let us enjoy some of Emmy’s sweet melodious music
