Astro Boy...are you ready?

[MrBrightside919]

There is no bigger name in the world of Anime/Manga than Astro Boy, there just isn't.

So, if you haven't figured it out yet, Astro Boy is FINALLY getting a cinematic release in the form of a brand new CG movie with Freddie Highmore (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) voicing the main character, Astro, and Nick Cage (The Rock) is voicing the scientist, Tenma, Astro's father/creator...

From what i've seen (trailer and pics), I have to say that i'm impressed on the idea of this movie, but i'm not completely sold. It's obvious that they are going to make Astro Boy into a family friendly movie for everyone, but i'm more concerned if it will be true to the astro boy people grew up with.

Are you guys excited for this movie or are you already digging it's grave?

 

[Lord Krunk]

Yay Astro Boy!

I'm interested, but not sold. I do, however, want to see if they do it right.

 

[Adam Jenson]

Interested but again not sold. I don't mind the cast but I just hope that if there going to do the late 90's AstroBoy they dont make it needlessly darker than it was.

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.
Astro Boy, Astro Boy,
He is brave and gentle and wise!

 

[JRCB]

Meh. Not that interested.

 

[Adam Jenson]

nicholas cage isn't "The Rock" unless i misinterpreted you. Whenever I here the rock I think of Dwayne Johnson >_>

he meant the movie Cage starred in with Sean Connery

 

[Ancientgamer]

CG? Meh, I'd prefer metropolis style animation.

 

[MrBrightside919]

Yay Astro Boy!

I'm interested, but not sold. I do, however, want to see if they do it right.

Same here...

 

[Donbett1974]

I could never understand why people like Astro Boy. Till i realized it a robot that looks like a little boy in his underwear.

 

[MrBrightside919]

CG? Meh, I'd prefer metropolis style animation.

yeah, metropolis style would suit Astro better

 

[Rock Avich]

Not sure if want...

*explodes*

this, this is just about the best thing ever. Oh my god! OH MY GOD! ASTROBOY THE MOVIE!

 

[Vlane]

There is a bigger name in the world of anime and manga! Pokémon!

Maybe I am going to watch it but I still don't like it that it is in CG.

 

[A random person]

This could be good. An anime adaptation based on a suitable series with an effort to retain the feel of the series.
