James Wong to direct DBZ movie

Quite frankly, I'm a little scared. The thought of a live-action Dragon Ball movie is just pretty insane. How they plan on dealing with the excessive kamehamehas is beyond me, let alone the spirit disks or any other super charged attack that the fighters can thrown from their finger tips. But, James Wong looks like he has a general idea. According to CHUD (and the wealth of popups on their site), Wong has written and will be directing a live-action Dragon Ball movie, slated to begin production this November in Canada. There are no actors cast yet, however, the roles looking to be filled are Goku, Bulma, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Mai, Lord Piccolo, Chi Chi and Gohan, who is Goku's grandfather apparently. It looks like the story is going the route of evil Piccolo, before he became one of Goku's most trusted companions. No word on anything else yet, but if Michael Bay's not attached, I don't know if I'll be able to see it (who else can you trust to pull of all those moves in spectacular exploding fashion?).
