Interview published at Dao of DB.

K&K productions has announced that they have received the budget they need in order to complete this film! They will provide a brand new video update in a few days, so stay tuned to that! Until then check out this interview which reveals more of the movie, why they are doing this, what went wrong with DB Evolution and much more!

Derek: There are a lot of Dragon Ball fans who are looking forward to Dragon Ball Z: Saiyan Saga, but not everybody knows about it yet, so I want to get it out there. I love Dragon Ball and want to share this with others.

As a general intro for those who don’t know, who are K&K Productions?

Harry: We’re two brothers, Harry and George Kirby. We both used to work in television, for Sky TV, a big broadcaster in the UK. I worked there first for 6 years and then my brother was there for 3 years. During that time we were kind of doing our own stuff and we realized that we could do it on our own.

We started our company about 5 years ago and we’ve been full time with it for the last 2 and a half. We started with corporate work and recently music videos, and we always entered into film competitions and 48 hour challenges.

George is very good with special effects, and doing those films helps us improve those effects. Pushes us farther.

Derek: What originally got you into film? Why make that your career?

George: We both grew up watching film, a lot of anime, played computer games, those sorts of things. That made us a very visual based type of imaginative people. Harry, being older, went to university and did live TV production, something media related. I kind of followed up and that was our entry in.

Derek: You did that for a few years and decided enough is enough, let’s do it our way. Now here you are making Dragon Ball Z: Saiyan Saga. Where did the inspiration for this film come from?

George: We always said, “It’d be so cool if we could.” We would mess around with effects with energy, Ki blasts, things like that. We thought it would be cool to do a full on production, but years ago we didn’t have the skills, the technology or the time. It’s always been in the back of our minds.

Harry: We’ve hit the point where our production company is doing well, and now we know we’ve got the friends, crew, and equipment. Now’s the time.

If someone had said to me 5 years ago that you’re going to have all this equipment and the resources you have now, I would have jumped on it to make Dragon Ball Z. It’s the first thing that comes to mind. And now that’s what we’re going to do.

Plus with Dragon Ball Z there’s so many great characters and so much amazing content right there. No one, apart from the Evolution movie, had tapped into it. All that great stuff sitting there waiting to be made into live action.


The interview is actual very long so if you wish to check the rest out follow this link!

no matter what, it will be better than the hollywood version. but it actually looked very promising, especially for a "fan made" film. good luck with the sweetness.

A budget of over $10,000? Um...that's what it costs just to get your film processed at the lab.

WTF?

I think some people are misunderstanding what this project is.

It isn't a Hollywood film. It isn't even a full length film.

It's a live action adaptation of a trailer they made using footage from the first saga in DBZ (The Saiyan Saga). It's a fan film.

But I am totally looking forward to this. I also lol'd whenever they said it (Dragonball: Evolution) appealed to the American audiences...it didn't appeal to anyone lol :P

I'm huge fan of DBZ and this sounds awesome! These guys are real fans of the series, so they should do a great job on it.
@thecheetoman2004: So it's a trailer and not an actual film? I never really understood that.

I think everybody is missing the point. If they do what Mortal Kombat Legacy does they will get the funding to do a full length and we will get the Dragon Ball Z movie we would murder children for. You say Im a dreamer but Im not the only one....
