Unsubstantiated rumor alert: Fox dumping ‘Dragonball’? UPDATE: Nope

Take this with a grain of salt, but Film Junk is reporting that an anonymous source claims Fox execs are so unhappy with footage of their upcoming live-action Dragonball adaptation that they’re actually considering shutting down the project altogether and cutting their losses. Now, I totally believe the part about the footage being terrible. Any time you hire a former cast member of MTV’s “Real World” for a role you know you’re in trouble. But I have a really hard time believing they’d completely shut down something they’ve put so much time and money into already. So before all the 12-year-olds start to cry and the manga purists throw a victory parade let’s wait for some confirmation one way or the other.
Update:
Bzzt, they changed their minds.
