Ever since it was announced that the "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F" movie is coming to North American shores, many fans of the manga series have been looking forward to know when that would be. Reports have recently come out that the movie will finally be screened in the U.S. in August.

The movie is the latest film from the popular Japanese animated franchise. It opened in Japan on April 18 and had an advance screening in Los Angeles a week before that.

Funimation Entertainment, 20th Century Fox and Toei Animations all collaborated to make the initial screening at The Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles happen.

In a statement, Funimation confirmed that the movie will finally premier in 2D and 3D theaters in the United States in a limited run from August 4 to 12.

Because of the limited time, followers of the series can head on to the Dragon Ball Z official website to sign up for news and updates on when tickets will go on sale.

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F" follows the story of Goku and friends from the last animated film, "Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods."

The movie is the second film created by manga artist Akira Toriyama who also worked on "Battle of Gods" and other "Dragon Ball Z" TV shows. Tadayoshi Yamamuro is the director.

In V Jump magazine's interview with Toriyama, the creator explained that the "F" in the title stands for Frieza, the villain who will return to wreak havoc in the lives of the central characters once more. He added that Maximum The Hormone's song titled, "F," was the inspiration behind the title.

The film also follows Frieza's return to life with the help of dragon balls, to exact revenge from Goku and Vegeta. Toriyama added that two new characters will be seen in the movie, Sorbet and Tagoma, followers of Frieza who will be instrumental in helping Frieza get back to his original form.

Sean Schemmel lent his voice for the character of Goku while Chris Sabat returned for Vegeta, Anime News Network reported. It is not yet clear whether the Japanese songs featured in the movie were dubbed or were replaced with an English song.
