After its US premiere last month and its subsequent screenings in Japan, reports have it that the much-anticipated "Dragon Ball Z: Fukkatsu No F" will be showing in theaters across the globe soon.
"Staff of the movie revealed during the premiere screening of 'Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F' at the Shinjuku Wald 9 theatre in Tokyo that the film will screen in 74 countries worldwide in summer," Inquistr said. "The new Dragon Ball Z movie will be dubbed by returning voice actors from previous Dragon Ball movies."
The site went on to reveal that Chris Ayres, who lent his voice for the English dub of "Dragon Ball Z Kai," will be doing the same thing for "Fukkatsu No F." He will voice Frieza.
Meanwhile, Chris Sabat will be doing Vegeta while Sean Schemmel will be voicing Goku.
Further, Ecumenical News said that the movie will be launched in 74 countries starting this month, with Taiwan and Hong Kong first in line for a May 1 release.
"Succeeding releases, including that of North America and other major territories are slated in the coming months," the site added.
Perhaps this decision is down to the fact that the film reportedly beat "Furious 7" at the box office in Japan. "It was reported that it is only in Japan that Furious 7 did not top the box office," Inquistr noted.
The site also intimated that the global screening of the film may happen in the coming summer.
Last month, it was announced that a new "Dragon Ball" TV series will be released in July this year, after an 18-year drought. It will be called "Dragon Ball Cho" or "Dragon Ball Super" and will be shown on Fuji TV in Japan in July.
"The new show will apparently be written by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, with events taking place after Goku defeats Majin Buu," IGN said. "The last new Dragon Ball TV show was Dragon Ball GT, which aired way back in 1996 and 1997."
The TV channel's producer Osamu Nozaki hinted that a villain "stronger than Buu or Freeza" may emerge during the series.
A commentary by Rob Bricken, as featured on io9, asked the necessity of having another DBZ TV series after all the revivals and films that resurrected old foes and put slight tweaks on the main characters' appearances, as well as capitalized on the moneymaking capacity of DBZ.
"I just think that the golden age of Dragonball has passed, and all the revivals in the world won't change that fact," Bricken observed. "Maybe if these executives actually bring together the seven Dragonballs and have Sheron grant them a wish, then maybe."
