Saturday, November 22, 2008 at 11:06AM Trailer - The Anime Update 'Astro Boy'
This will only take a minute, I promise. It's the new
teaser trailer for
Astro Boy, based on the Japanese Manga classic
from the 1950s. You've missed the boat if you haven't heard of Astro Boy
(or Astroboy), since the character has been merchandised to death in the past
half century and has had a few TV shows to his credit, as well. It's commonly
credited with being a kind of grandfather of anime, and its creator,
Osamu Tezuka,
is known as the "God of Manga."
Summit Entertainment, which has had a pretty good 24
hours, will distribute a new 3-D movie version of Astro Boy in 2009,
featuring the voices of
Nic Cage,
Freddie
Highmore, and
Kristen Bell. Here's a quick teaser trailer
that, if you've ever been a fan of the character, will show you a little about
how much and how little has changed over the years.
