Akira Toriyama 's manga DRAGONBALL is so incredibly well-known among the people of Japan and brings together such a rich mythology of characters. The film has already begun shooting in Mexico and although we have a lot of work ahead of us, I look forward to a successful collaboration with filmmakers James Wong and Stephen Chow. DRAGONBALL is a very exciting project for all of us."In 2009 she is due to play Sock's love interest in season 2 of Reaper.
