It's official, an Astroboy movie is in production! After years of rumors and speculation, Astro will finally be coming to us on the big screen. This is great news for Astro Boy fans indeed. The movie, announced earlier this month, is being produced by Imagi studios, the same studio who brought us TMNT earlier in the year. The movie, like TMNT, is expected to be a full CGI animation, though we will have to wait until 2009 for its release.
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist. Powered by positive blue energy, Astro Boy 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 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.
Starring: Freddie Highmore, Nicolas Cage, Bill Nighy, Kristen Bell, Donald Sutherland, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Nathan Lane, Sterling Beaumon
