Trying to adapt something with so much lore and action and everything that ran for so long would take a series of movies with a massive budget and if they just made one movie it would be impossible to fit the full story into it, and even if you just adapted one saga like Freiza, Androids/Cell or Buu it would make die hard fans mad that it wasent in order or things were skipped and changed. The Anime being so long at over 250 episodes just for Z gave the story everything it needed that your standard hollywood movie just cant do, and thats why evolution turned out like it did.
Peter Jackson did production diaries for King Kong, and the making of releases with the Extended Lord Of The Rings release are really good. If I remember right the frighteners had a good one.
