Great news for DBZ fans: a new Dragon Ball Z movie will open in Japanese theaters during Japan's "Golden Week" holiday period which will happen sometime in April or May 2015.

The 59-year-old famous manga artist confirmed in Weekly Shonen Jump, that the forthcoming film will have a brand new story that will be set after the events of the previous movie (which is also credited to him) "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods." He further revealed that the plot is intended as if it were a continuation of the 1984 Dragon Ball manga serialization.

"This time will of course be a continuation of the previous Battle of Gods, but I've deliberately increased the amount of action scenes by a good deal," Toriyama said. "With regards to the contents, they told me, 'Keep it a secret!' like they're all high-and-mighty, so I can't touch on it yet, but it should be super-duper interesting!"
