""El actor mexicano Luis Arrieta interpretará al mejor amigo de Goku en la escuela, su papel en esta pelicula será chiquita, pero importante, asegura que en las proximas dos entregas su papel podria figurar todavia más, todo de acuerdo a la aprobación que tenga en esta primer pelicula por parte del publico.
Su personaje se llama "Teto" y será una especie de "nerd" que sabe de todo en la escuela y sera pieza clave en algunas escenas, además confirma que la saga será una trilogia y que habrá muchos personajes nuevos.
Luis Arrieta quedó en el casting gracias a su perfecto ingles sin acentos, luego de que hizo su casting con Carla Hool. Ha participado en varios programas televisivos en México.
Arrieta dijo que sus escenas quedaron listas durante los dos días de filmación que tuvieron lugar en la UNITEC campus Coyoacán, el fin de semana pasado.""

Here's my rusty attempt at translating...
=]
Mexican actor Luis Arrieta will play Goku's best friend in school, his role is small, but important, be sure that his role in the next two movies might be much bigger, this is his first major role(?)
His character is called "Teto" and he's a sort of know-it-all nerd in school, this movie will be a trilogy, with alot of new people. Arrieta was cast for his perfect english accent... he's been on several mexican programs on tv. He's been filming in the UNITEC campus at the end of last week.
Update: Thanks to Drgero below for giving us a better translation. It seems that Luis was only on set for two days and has completed his filming already. So, no need to overreact as he may only appear in one or two brief scenes.

82 comments:
Hey JP. Think positive. He's a school friend, not a lifetime friend like Kuririn. And his role is minimum.
Im not JP and i wasnt thinking negatively. His role is minimum but important, and will later expand in other movies...
..then again this might just be a rumor, as i suspect.
HAHAHAHAH You can almost here the fans cry! LIsten! hahahahaa
Dear god more mexican unknowns they sure are doing this on the cheap.
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh ok this is one part i don't understand at all...
I just don't understand why they had to take out Krillin... and i wonder if Tein is ever gonna bei n the movies...
who the hell is this douche bag???
Your translation is incomplete and unaccurate :
"The movie may turn into a trilogy if it meets success. If so, Luis Arrieta's rôle will be more important in the two following movies [...] Arrieta was cast for his perfect english without (Mexican) accent [...] Arrieta said he had already shot all his scenes during the two days' filming that took place in the UNITEC campus at the end of last week"
oh boy a trilogy they haven't sunken enough cash into one idiotic movie that's obviously gonna bomb!!
how can goku go super saiyan without krillin!
AGAIN! THIS IS ONE BIG-GRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I might finally going insane, and going to hollywood to rape them and piss on their corps tralalalalaalaaaaa
Oh crap...I accepted everything the movie threw at us...but this? I mean when I started reading I was like "Ok. No prob since this dork is only gonna play a minor role.",but then I scroll down and read that his character may play bigger parts or something on the sequels. -_-' Seriously wtf? One of the most important events in Goku's life happens because of Krillin. Eh,I don't like this,but hopefully this wont be a big mess up.
"These Mexicans?" you say it like there from another world... how about shutting the fuck up.
I wish there was a way to block out certain posters. Alas there is none.
To the anonymus poster who posted after me. Are you refering to me? Just incase you are,I never in my post insulted mexicans. >_> And why would I considering I myself am latin american. o-o
This movie is going to suck enormous amounts of dick. And this is coming from a DBZ fanboy.
DBZ IS NOT GOD DAMN DAWSON'S CREEK!
I hate this movie so much right now it's not even funny. I thought the worst they could do was make krillin like his kid sidekick or something but NO now he's fucking TETO?!
Even my funny/terrible fan cast/plot I made up was better than this is turning out to be (and that had Stan Lee cast as Master Roshi, and Bulma and Goku dating plus Gohan showed up from the future instead of trunks)
Why do they bring so many new characters into dragonball? in the anime, there are still so many characters like tien or krillin they could use, why don't they put one of them in?
i hope that because he has a role in this movie that he won't overshadow the other dragonball charecters like tien, chaotzsu and most of all krillin.
WTF...NO KRILLIN
Dragonball wouldnt be dragonball without Krillin
I thought there was no way they could kill the db legacies
but Those pisspots just might have done it by replacing krillin with a fuckin TETO
but people hate mexicans
Nobody hates Mexicans...oO""
But when this Role from this guy would be bigger...-.-""
Then he would be Gokus best friend...-.-"""
This is terrible/horrable!!!
In many points, i think it is good or aceptable...that they movie maker some do other things as in the anime or like the manga.
BUT NO KRILLIN this is are CRIME!!!!
Krillin is the most important character in all DB Manga or all Anime Episodes...
His role is important! More then a Tien or Vegeta or Piccolo, I think!
Because Krillin, is all every years Gokus best friend ever!!!!!!
THIS IS A CRIME WHEN THIS GUY WOULD BE A KRILLIN REPLACEMENT!!!
Teto is a big, great dumm, the best dumm
by spanish fan
A trilogy I KNEW IT !! yes lol
iso its obvious the next two films are going to be based on the saiyan and frieza saga nice :)
I really think they should bring tien in, they could have him show up at the tournement supposing it IS in this film
my god, people r goin nuts cuz o this guy. calm down nothing is written in stone. he might get a bigger part but he might not overshadow the rest of the chareters. Let's see what happens, okay. and this movie might not suck. This movie shows charecteristics of a classic blockbuster, mostly unknown actors but familiar film makers, minimal time for movie making a movie, star wars anyone? and a main charecter that seems too skinny for his comic counter part like christopher reeves and michael keaton. give the movie a chance
I give the Triology a chance.
But I hope that we would see more
DB Characters in this Triology!
I hope it so...
But I´m happy that Bulma get a
specially haircolor. =D
Man WTF are they doing with this movie. I gunna jump out my window
We all must hope that specially James Wong, who is direct and write this Movie Story...had read the 42 Manga from DB!
Because...he write the Story, but
I hope he has/had understand, that Krillin, Tien and Vegeta are important characters!
And Vegeta!? In this Triology there must be a Vegeta! Because Vegeta is populary as Goku all over the world!
Also, Vegeta is the interessting character from the Manga, (also Piccolo, too), but by Vegeta many years he need that he aczept he can love and that he love his family and the earth. And Vegeta get evil, also, ever, too. Because to Babidi in Z or Baby in GT.
vivi you are right but in my opinion there must be no vegeta because film is called dragonball and not dragonball z. i think they want to make 3 movies based on db, dbz and dbgt. vegeta should come in the next two movies...
Yes this I mean, too.
And as a Bulma x Vegeta Fan/Freak
I hope I would see more, as in the Manga! ^-^
I love the Pairing so much!
And Yamchu and Bulma will get in love in Movie 1, so it stand in the character discription from this movie.
So, I think in Movie 2 or 3, the Bulma x Vegeta Fans would see more. ^^
(The biggest secret in the DB World: Where come Baby Trunks? Or who come his parents together?)
*smile*
Man people are going nuts jumping to conclusions. I didn't get the vibe that this "Teto" is replacing Krillen.
LOL MANG TETO! wtf! haha
Mexiacns will bring this movie down
Well if he has a big part and not a main cast member, that could mean he'll be someone that ends up dieing that's crucial to the overall plot. Kind of like the random guy joining a star trek away team.
And a trilogy? This could be a dragonball only trilogy? This would mean movie 4 would start in on the Dragonball Z saga's. Wow, this may take awhile, although on the upside, the characters will be well developed by then, something that would be needed in this kind of thing since we won't have hours of tv shows to build upon. We'd still have to go through the process of introducing Kami, Krillin, Tien, and maybe the red ribbon army as well, because of the whole back history of the android saga is based upon this. I'm more a fan of DBZ than DB so it'll be interesting to see what the hell these people have planned.
teto wtf... no Krillin thats fucked up. maybe i'll go there and play for krillin. i mean, im not that tall 5'4 its good enough hahah
People tend to forget that the manga...all 40+ volumes compose a series called DRAGONBALL. Saiyan Saga...DragonBall...Frieza Saga...DragonBall....Cell Saga....uh DragonBall? -_-' Dragon Ball Z is just the name of the anime from the point where we see Son Gohan (Son Goku's son) for the first time. The whole manga is DRAGONBALL in japan. -.-
My prediction as to the trilogy.
1st Movie: Piccoro Saga
2nd Movie: Saiyan Saga
3rd Movie: Frieza Saga
Just like Toriyama originally intended to end it at,the Frieza Saga. But then fans wanted him to keep on streching the story.
But...!
Akira Toriyama...had the idea earlier that db is ending...when shenlong first seeing! After Prince Pilaw ;)
So DB would be more and more, because the fans would be more and more.
And...when...DB Triology would be great, and with much money and so.
You know?
And then it can be too, that we have, how star wars!
The Cyborgs Saga, Cell Saga and Boo Saga...
But for the first we can have only one movie, next year. Then a Triology....
After that...it can be more!
=====
But in all Movie Sides its osunds that Goku protect the earth, because many different aliensforms would be have the dbs.
And Cyborgs, Cell and Boo, are no Aliens...^_^
its sounds
It's just that..... I have been waiting for this movie for long time.I mean Bad casting is one thing but not putting characters
that are suppose to be it the movie (KRILLEN) just fucking mad at me.I'v seen every dbz eposoide
and I'm not going to attemped to see this movie
I say lets give it a chance. Also when you adapt a story into a movie you can't expect it to be identical to the original. Changes have to be made so it can appeal to a wider audience and remember that movies are usually around 2 hours long,they have to cramp in dozens of episodes/chapter into two or so hours. Again lets give it a chance. Im not to fond of many of the ideas they're using for the film but you never know. And the casting isn't really bad. James Marsters as Piccoro was a good idea the way I see it.
I wonder if and how they are going introduce krillin, tien , and chiaotzu in the next installment.
I mean they could be portrayed as former students of roshi who come to visit his new student or maybe... just maybe they might appear as surpise characters that are introduced during the tournament in the movie.
[quote]This movie is going to suck enormous amounts of dick. And this is coming from a DBZ fanboy.[/quote]
AND!? why is it wierd that "that is coming from a DBZ fanboy!?"
Most of fans(especialy TRUE LOVERS OF DBZ LIKE ME!) ARE FUCKING DEADLY SUICIDAL AGAINST THIS NIIIIIGHHHHTT-FUCKING-MAREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50% of JAPAN + SOME MOST OF OTHER FANS IN WORLD ARE ALL ENEMIES OF 20TH FOX CENTURY!!!
And I will be probably the first Kamikaze, if they don't respond on my mail to them.
oooook so if he is his buddy in school (GOKU DIDNT GO TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!)then why not have him be kirllin?doesnt make sense he cant go supersaiyan without krillin if they dont havce krillin in it then i am NOT watching the movie
I think, too, that wie would be see a Krillin and Tien in Movie 2 or Movie 3!!!
The movie maker must see how the new characters acept after the moviepremiere ....
and when every body hates tato, ami und co., then they would put other orginal characters in the movie by away.
I think that!
===
I have read that it would be a tournament in Movie 1...the cliffheanger to Movie 2?
And by that tournament, that can be on the end of Movie 1, there where two fighters Krillin and Tien!! (I think that so...)
:)
The end of Movie 1 is that Torunament beginning...Goku smile to Piccolo Jr. and Picco Jr smile to Goku!
END!
Ans Movie two would be, a little bit torunament finally Round between Goku and Piccolo.
Then 5 years after, and then come the saiyajin- saga! ^^
Seriously. Geesh you are all taking this whole DB movie being made WAY too seriously,specially you Vegita. Its obvious you love DragonBall and I know seeing something you love being butchered on the big screen isn't pretty. But what can we do? They're doing this movie wether we like it or not. In reality a movie that was closer to the original concept wasn't impossible. But in an era where tweeniness,money and censoring (*cough*FCC*cough*)reigns they have to make adjustments so it appeals to a wider audience. So stop complaining and wait till the movie comes out and just hope it bombs horribly! Im neutral to the whole thing cause Ive accepted the fact that not everything will be to my liking. But yeah just try to calm ya selves. >_> Its just one stupid movie that won't change your life in anyway.
@Alzatia
"Its just one stupid movie that won't change your life in anyway."
Your maybe not! but MINE, YES!
Whole post you talk from your point of view, without realizing that everyone have their own opinion and temperament.
I AM NOT GOING TO JUST STAND HERE AND WATCH THIS BULLSHIT BEING MADE! NO FUCKING WAY!!!
And please stop saying "calm down/stop complaining" It is nice of you to try calm me(& some others) down but just realize that - you are you, and I am I.
Vegeta,
You've kind of run in to the danger-zone of obsession. Let me ask you, why is it that it is so detrimental to your survival that this movie not get made. You do realize this won't take away the original anime or manga. If movie sucks, at it probably will, we all still have the anime to go back to. It's no big deal.
And FOX, I'm sorry to say, is not going to reply to yours, or anyones email, concerning stopping the production or changing aspects of this movie. A multi-billion dollar company can do what they want. Listening to a lot of geeks on the internet is not one of their first priorities.
I love DBZ too, but even I know it's not perfect in any way. It's a fun show and its legacy will still continue even after this movie. It's really time to stop acting so ridiculous.
My two cents.
I do agree that maybe you should calm down just a little Vegeta.
Hmmm... So we've got a minor character, confirmed to just be a nerdy friend of Goku's, who's already done his scenes after two days. Yet everyone's freaking out? This is PATHETIC.
I'd like for someone to point me to EXACTLY WHERE they said Kuririn would not be in the movie, and that this guys is replacing him as Goku's lifelong friend. Cuz' that seems to be actually pretty contradictory to what HAS been said.
Really, someone point me to where it says that. Go ahead. I'll wait.
im sure were all good fans of dbz and we all feel diffeent about it but its good to be a little optimistic :)
and
Wow JP u are so awesome for getting all this info
keep it up dude
Thank you. This will probably be a slow week due to the Holidays.. not much going on news wise, but expect something popping up around January when filming in Durango stats.
wow some of u r fuckin hopeless
Why is everyone assuming no Krillen? Have you guys actually seen Dragonball? No not DBZ, Dragonball. Krillen first enters Dragonball after Goku meets Master Roshi, so calm down. Krillen will be in, stop blowing your wads over it.
I'll not read most of the comments for sake of my keyboard and my head.
"im sure were all good fans of dbz and we all feel diffeent about it but its good to be a little optimistic :)"
I agree, but, to me, that "optimistic" is like - "I hope someone will stop this movie from producing", "NO! I KNOW THAT, IF NO ONE STOP IT, I WILL!!!"
:D
Oh, God, no, they are totally destroying the story!!!!
When Freezer kills Teto.. Goku is transformed into Super Sayan.
Frezzer, please, kill Teto. And rape his mother. And burn the director`s house of this horror movie. And burn the director as well. And kill his dog with your mortal ray.
Please, destroy our planet. And save us.

HAIL TO THIS!
Way to go due! Finally someone here is on my side!
visit my blog if you wanna see my bitching about this movie :D
Vegeta,
I think you're a bit hopeless here. No one, including you, is going to stop the production of a billion dollar company. That's just not realistic.
Bitching about the movie isn't going to do anything either, but of course anyone is welcome to do so. I will contend that it is rather obnoxious though.
JP,
I have no idea how this movie is going to turn out. It's probably going to suck, but I give you props for having the balls to dedicate a blog to this movie so that those of us who want to follow the production objectivly can do so.
It's a good blog and though I'm not expecting much from the movie I do hope it's at least highly entertaining.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks.
:]
To Vegeta:
Ohwell,guess your going to stick through with your opinion. That's cool I guess. Not everybody will change their mind,Im guessing you just love the original so much. Well Ill tell you one thing,its good to know there are people so passionate about something like the great story that is Toriyama's DragonBall,you have my respect for that. But I may not agree with the way your viewing this whole deal,but hey like I said people can't force others to change their minds if they are unwilling. I just wanted to say this because I don't want to have any problems with anyone. ^^'
Anyways Happy Holidays everyone. =)
This is disgusting, I sware to God if Krillin is not in this movie I am going to shit on Fox Studios this is retarted I couldnt imagine the movie getting anyworse but to take out Goku's best friend and my favourite character is just going to far!
How a big shit!
Damn!
The idea of Teto is sort of okay but school? :S I bet Toriyama is thinking to himself- Stupid Americans (and Mexicans).
They could have at least asked Toriyama (and a translator :) ) to at least be on hand when writing and shooting. Hell I bet he could have wrote the script by himself!
who the hell is teto i mean wtf wheres krillin.
who made this shit.
if they ruin a great show like dbz
that will suck
..tito wtf
maybe krillin will still be in it who knows
i agree with vegeta, but the movie still could be good.
I hope tito dies in the 1st movie, and thay have krillin.
Krillin wasn't Goku's best friend until late into DB so Krillin ins't cut out yet I don't think. Niether is Tien they just haven't cast the roles or they're keeping them in for a while. We are only two weeks into filming right. Hey even if this movie does suck, not saying that it will, they will still have more than one movie because everyone die hard is gonna go see it August 15. I know I will.
I'm sure Krillin won't be cut out, like you guys have said he's an important character in Goku's story. And like some of you have said that this movie will suck, even if it does(not saying that it will) everyone going to see it is going on August 15th I know I will. Anyway the box office is going to be sold out, this movie is gonna make so much on the first day they will have enough money to make 5 more.
I prey to God that this character will be re-named Kuririn, have them shave the actors head and then just leave it at that. I would be happy if they did that, because no one can replace Kuririn as Goku's best friend. It will make me cry if there is no Kuririn. (I'm a girl I can cry over Kuririn!)
Don't cry Krillin will be in there. Wong maybe a bad writer (Final Destination) but he's not an idiot.
Fer God's sakes!
Why are 50% of these 72 POSTS ranting about Krillin NOT being in the movie!?
WHERE in any of ANY information on this entire website is it written that Teto replaces our favorite no-nosed-guy?
I condone everything kaboom sed back on Dec. 23. I ask you-nay DARE you-to point out to me where in this article, or anywhere in this entire site, that it flat out says "Krillin will be replaced by Teto."
And quit harping o'er it so horribly (*coughvegeta*hack*wheeze)!
"...gonna jump out a window""...gonna shit on FOX Studios"
What's WRONG with you people!?
IT'S JUST A MOVIE!
...besides, I think it's gonna be a phenominal movie, and the sequals will be out of this world as well!
theBat.toM2 was here! l ^T^ l
you're right, it's doesn't say anywhere that kirllin won't be in it. ut they haven't mentioned him, he probably won't. let's just face they shitty music. the director sucks, they writer sucks, this movie has the potential to really suck. and what is more disheartening is that it will portray DB in a very poor light and may cause the whole live action DB thing to lose ground. when the heart of DB is action and silly comedy. they would have better to have gotten the same writers from "Sean of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" then they guy who wrote some crapy action self pleasing action movies. and yes, writing in Teto is not a smooth move, mi hijo. it breaks the fantasy for the fans, who will be the a larger part of the audience when the movie opens. it is just a movie, in the big scheme of things, not important. but it still sucks that the enjoyment gathered from the series by fans probably won't be realized in this first effort at a DB live action movie.
I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that they are not going to include Krillin at all. Although it does remind me of the extreme dissapointment I experienced when the director's of X-Men decided to leave Gambit out of all 3 movies.(no word on weather he'll be in the 4th or 5th film)
I really hope that the reason Krillin isnt listed because they havent found someone to play him yet. I would be sorely dissapointed if they did not have Krillin in the first movie(even if they included him in the next two).
The only time Krillin wasnt around was during the first dozen episodes of DragonBall. To not include him in this movie when they have Piccollo in the movie would be crazy as he is supposed to serve as Goku's initial competition when he trains under Roshi.
Lets all keep our fingers crossed guys!
OMG this is Awful !!! I just hope that Yamcha will have a bigger role at least! Taking out the regular characters like this ... Already many of my friend are having second thoughts if they should see the movie ... And frankly so am I ... Only thing that can save this is a Major-Major role for Yamcha, and ... Tien! To be included as a major character.
how could they do this? KRILIN man!!! it's not a character with a minor role, man, he was always there...right from the fuckin' start 'till the end...and they just...replace him with A TOTALLY MADE UP CHARACTER?
this is bullshit.
(Hey JP. Think positive. He's a school friend, not a lifetime friend like Kuririn. And his role is minimum.)
that's the problem. when did you see goku going to a high school? he was a wild child, living alone in the mountains...
sok jsut to clarry ful sdfu.
ok one goku never went to schoo. master roshi thought him to read and write. so school bud is fake.
its basse don deamking piccolo saga dragonball.. before piccolo jr.
so golku should be kid no adult. krillin ishould be in it as he dies first. but tamborin.
yamcha shuld be in it tien anc choutsua swell.
also for proof go to www.imdb.com and search dragonball clcik it read plot. it sasy deamon king piccolo saga. no piccolo jr.
and sdfu about vegeta he isnt indragonball hes indragonball z.
if it had dbz caractors id be dragonball z not dragonball so every one sdfu its deamon king piccolo saga.
so piccolo jr dad,krillion goku tien choutzu yamcha. should be in it
Not piccolo jr vegeta. and goku should be kid not adult. loik in teh animi,manga
I am ofended being a huge of Dragon for 14 years that they're even considering introducing new characters... WTF? Why do we need new character if the whole Dragon Ball series has already enough characters to make like 10 movies??? Bring us Kuririn, Ten Shin Han, Chao Zu, not "nerds" nobody cares, c'mon, Son Goku in a high school??? Are you serious? I wanted this film to be successul, truly I did, just because I wanted a movie with real actor for my favourite sagas (Frieza and Cell), but they're ruining some basic points of the story. Very disappointing. This guy, Goku's "friendmate" is going to be on 3 movies but Kuririn doesn't even exist -.-' Give me a break...
i hope they include dragonball gt even if it isnt cannon. i hope super saiyan will look better than i think it will. im glad this is going to be in english because there was that first live movie that wasnt very good.... but of course that was from a different country and we have better materials now.
There could've been a better selection of actors...Of course, James Marsters definitely has that whole bad ass thing going on. Example: I think Sarah Silverman would've been a great Chi-Chi. She has that vivacious spirit to her that could light up a screen. Anyways...Don't get me wrong, not all actors lack in appearance...Emma Rossum, Jamie Chung, Luis Arrieta....All the acrimony seems to be circling around Krillins' appearance in the movie. Maybe or maybe not...ya just might have to watch. For all of those who think the whole movie sounds like a piece of shit and for all those who are dying to watch it. In my opinion, it does sound kind of cheesy, but movies are full of surprises aren't they?
where is kuririn? I WANT KURIRIN è_é
