Chow Yun Fat Joins Dragonball

Just yesterday I brought up the casting of Dragonball which I will admit I was a little behind on. Well today the Hollywood Reporter just recieved word that none other than Chow Yun Fat will be playing the role of Master Roshi. This character is Goku's mentor, the guy who helps him find the peak of his powers and fighting ability. My only question is whether or not he will wear the turtle shell or not!

Chow Yun Fat is being joined by Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung. The film, directed by James Wong, follows Goku (Chatwin), a warrior alien who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling mystical objects known as Dragon Balls. Stephen Chow is producing.

Dragonball is currently shooting in Mexico City and Los Angeles.
