Slated for worldwide theatrical release in 2009 from Summit Entertainment,
Astro Boy will feature the voices of Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage, Scarlett Johansson, Donald Sutherland, Bill Nighy, Nathan Lane and Eugene Levy with Freddie Highmore in the title role. David Bowers is directing from a screenplay written by Timothy Harris, with Maryann Garger producing.
Astro Boy was created by the "god of manga", Japan's Osamu Tezuka, in the early 1950s. Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist. Our hero embarks on a journey in search of adventure in a netherworld of robot gladiators before he returns to save Metro City. Astro Boy is the second CG-animated feature film from Imagi Studios, following on the success of its 2007 box office hit, TMNT.
