Astro Boy Teaser Blasts Its Way Onto The Net

Moviefone has posted a teaser trailer for the upcoming Astro Boy (and we mean real upcoming--it's not due out until October of 2009). The movie, being made by Imagi Animation Studios and directed by Flushed Away's David Bowers, is an adaptation of the iconic manga series from the 1950's. Series was created by Osamu Tezuka (often regarded as the "god of manga") and debuted as an animated program in Japan in 1963. It was later adapted for overseas audiences in the 1980's, and remade again in 2003. This latest version will feature the voice talents of Freddie Highmore, Bill Nighy, Nicolas Cage, Kristen Bell, and Donald Sutherland.
