I didn't see a thread for this movie, so I thought I'd make one. I gotta admit I don't know anything about this classic manga/anime character, but the new trailer is pretty cool. Reminds me a lot of The Incredibles, one of the few Pixar movies I actually liked. This movie might even be worth watching in cinema.
The voice cast is nothing too special, but Kristen Bell is instant win, of course.
Synopsis from the official movie site: (http://www.astroboy-themovie.com/)
A thrilling tale of a true hero, Astro Boy is an all-new, feature film full of action, adventure, humor and heart. It will be brought to life on the big screen in breathtaking CGI animation on October 23rd, 2009.
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma (Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive "blue" energy, Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is endowed with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly.
Embarking on a journey in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters many other colorful characters along the way. Through his adventures, he learns the joys and emotions of being human, and gains the strength to embrace his destiny. Ultimately learning his friends and family are in danger, Astro Boy marshals his awesome super powers and returns to Metro City in a valiant effort to save everything he cares about and to understand what it takes to be a hero.
