First Look: Dragonball Costumes and Characters
April 6, 2008

After originally posting (and quickly removing) an awesome photo of a set piece for Dragonball a few weeks ago, JoBlo has posted a plethora of new photos - including characters in costume and more. As I mentioned in that post a few weeks back, this Dragonball movie is starting to look better and better with every new photo that gets out. Unfortunately these will probably be removed by Fox rather quickly, but I'm excited to at least share them with you for the time being. If you're a Dragonball fan at all, then make sure you check these out before they go down and let us know what you think!

Durango as location for filming movies
"DragonBall," based on the Japanese comics/cartoon/videogame series, was shot in an abandoned Jeans Trousers factory with the cooperation of the Durango governor's office and its commission; 20th Century Fox adapted the 1,000-foot-long, 250-foot-wide turn-key facility, built sets and created a backlot to shoot exteriors. Durango's scenic locations provided the backdrop for the pic's Far East futuristic world.
Westerns, once a film staple of the locale, are no longer prevalent. Features such as Fox's 1954 pic "White Feather," starring a young Robert Wagner; "The Tall Men," starring Clark Gable; John Wayne starrer "The Sons of Katie Elder," and numerous other films involving Hollywood notables such as Sam Peckinpah, Burt Lancaster and Jack Nicholson made Durango a thriving film destination. Durango was also home to the directorial debut of Sidney Poitier who assumed the reins for Columbia's "Buck and the Preacher."
Seeking to reinvent itself, the local government has plans in motion to create other production facilities.
