That is true, supposedly when they started doing this he was originally cast as Goku and he was fired just as quickly. Of what I understood, Ray Park, Jessica Alba, Hugh Jackman, and Bill Goldberg were the only celebrities who were actually confronted and MOST LIKELY to have discussed these roles.
While most of the names are just hearsay, those I listed above had the best chance of being accurate. They also mentioned rumors of George Lucas doing the special effects while Dean Devilin (producer of 1998 Godzilla, Independence Day, Day After tomorrow) was going to pay for the film.
The original rumored film was supposed to start in the Saiyans saga, going straight through Raditz and stopping after the defeat of Vegeta to set up the Namek/Frieza saga. But if the casting sheet for this accurate DBZ movie is correct, were going way back to Dragon Ball to Piccolo's father and PILAF.
I recall seeing Mai being mentioned in there and Mai was apart of Emperor Pilaf's little gang of villains so we might even see him in there as well.
