The “Astro Boy” Movie Trailer Is Awesome!

by Keith

“Astro Boy” is the 2009 American computer-animated 3-D film based on the highly successful Japanese franchise of the same name by Osamu Tezuka. It is being produced by Imagi Animation Studios, the animation production company of “TMNT” and the upcoming “Gatchaman”. “Astro Boy” will be directed by David Bowers (”Flushed Away”) amd Freddie Highmore (”The Spiderwick Chronicles”) will provide the voice for the main character.

The plot for the film follows Astro Boy, a young robot who lives in Metro City who has incredible powers. AAstro Boy was created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man’s expectations, Astro Boy embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.

The trailer looks really remarkable and I am thinking that this movie could be a surprise hit if the script is original. So far 2009 is shaping up to be a big year for animation and films in general! Watch the movie trailer for “Astro Boy” below:
