FLOWER MOUND, TEXAS – SEPTEMBER 19, 2018. The wait is over, and the battle date set. Super Saiyans Goku
and Vegeta will gather to face their most powerful foe ever on January 16 – the official theatrical opening date for “Dragon
Ball Super: Broly” announced today by
Funimation®
Films. The 20th
film from the franchise and first from the “Dragon Ball Super” series,
“Dragon Ball Super: Broly”
is based on the original story, screenplay and character designs of
creator Akira Toriyama and features an updated art style reminiscent of
the classic bestselling Dragon Ball manga series.
To celebrate the new film, Funimation will host a star-studded red carpet world premiere of the English dub on
Thursday, December 13, 2018
at the historic TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Expected guests will
include the stars of the English cast, celebrity guests and studio
executives.
“We’re
thrilled to finally share the
official opening date of ‘Dragon Ball Super: Broly’ with fans since
first announcing the acquisition in July, ” said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and
President of Funimation. “From its updated art style to the assembly of
canon characters new and old, ‘Dragon Ball Super:
Broly’ is sure to please fans. Creator Akira Toriyama’s imagination and
masterful storytelling truly shine through in this exciting new movie.”
As earlier announced and as part of
the film’s promotion, a “Dragon Ball Super: Broly” panel will take place at New York Comic Con 2018 on Friday, October 5 at 6:00 p.m.
in the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden. The newly expanded list
of confirmed special guests consists of Masako Nozawa
(original Japanese voice of Goku), the film’s director Tatsuya
Nagamine, Sean Schemmel (current English voice of Goku) Christopher
Sabat (current English voice of Vegeta), Monica Rial (current English
voice of Bulma and panel emcee), Jason Douglas (current
English voice of Beerus), Ian Sinclair (current English voice of Whis)
and Vic Mignogna (reprising his role as English voice of Broly).
“Dragon
Ball Super: Broly” follows the events of
the hit anime series “Dragon Ball Super,” the first new Dragon Ball
storyline from original creator Akira Toriyama in more than 18 years.
Since premiering in summer 2015, “Dragon Ball Super” has propelled the
popularity of the franchise globally – with both
lifelong fans and a new generation of children and teens. The last
Dragon Ball film, “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’” (2015), was a box
office hit – grossing $8M in North America to become the first
independent film to make the Top 10 list of highest grossing
anime films domestically.
