Astro Boy Teaser Trailer

Astro Boy Teaser Trailer

The first teaser trailer for the upcoming CGI adaptation of long-running anime series Astro Boy has finally hit the Web and it looks…pretty cool, actually.

If you haven’t seen any of the Astro Boy TV series that have come and gone since the 1950’s, the story tells of a distant future in which a brilliant inventor (voiced by Nicholas Cage) creates the world’s ultimate battle robot in the guise of his dead son. Hoping to win his “father’s” numbed affections, Astro Boy sets off on a heroic journey, battling other robot gladiators and defending Metro City from the villains who would destroy it. He even manages to find a girlfriend along the way (voiced by queen of the fanboys, Kristen Bell).

Check out the Trailer.

Astro Boy Release Date Announced

Astro Boy Release Date Announced

We haven’t gotten much reader response to any posts about Astro Boy in the past, but maybe that will all change now that details about the film are being set in stone.

The latest news is that Astro Boy will be released on October 23, 2009. The CGI film will follow the original manga/anime’s tale about a far-off future in which a brilliant scientist creates a revolutionary new robot to replace his dead son-a robot who is able to kick major butt while searching for a meaning to his existence. Think of it as Pinocchio meets Transformers.

(Details from the official press release follow.)

Serious Looking Astro Boy Poster

I don’t remember much about the animated Astro Boy TV show I watched as a kid… only the fact that I did in fact watch it.

Astro Boy tells the story of a powerful robot boy created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. He journeys to find acceptance in the human world, and ultimately discovers true friendship as he uses his incredible powers to help others and to save Metro City from destruction.

There’s not much out on this yet and as far as I know it’s going to be a full CGI animated film. I like the poster… there’s something rather epic about it. Click on the image for a larger version.
