I was a big fan of Dragonball since I was in elementary school. It’s the story of an alien baby arriving on Earth with the only purpose to destroy it. He also has a tail. It’s loosely inspired by an epic novel called Journey to the West in which the Monkey King accompanies a monk in search for Buddhist sutras. FYI, Jackie Chan and Jet Li are currently working on a movie, The Forbidden Kingdom, also based on the Monkey King.

Dragonball Z is a 100 million dollars movie that will be filmed in Montreal and it’s a big deal for this city. It’s as if The Matrix was filmed in Montreal. The final fight between Neo and Mr. Smith was a very Dragonball-like fight scene. This should be great news for kids and older fans.

Other big budget movies, that will be filmed on Montreal, include Another Night, the sequel of Night at the Museum which starred Ben Stiller and Robin Williams, and Fantastic Voyage, a sci-fi remake.

All three productions are expected to wrap by next July. You can read more about this in this article from The Gazette.
