ASTRO BOY - October 23, 2009
Few characters have made as powerful or as
lasting an impression on international popular
culture as Astro Boy. The little robot first
appeared in 1951 as a character in the celebrated
artist and animator Osamu Tezuka’s legendary
manga (Japanese comic book) and became an instant
icon. He was subsequently featured as the star
of his own television series in both black and
white and in color, eventually airing in over
40 countries. Astro Boy created the standard
for a new form of animation that has become
world famous as anime. Now for the first time,
Astro Boy will be brought to life on the big
screen. Created with breathtaking computer animation
from Imagi Studios, the film Astro Boy is a
thrilling tale of a true hero.
The film is set to debut in theaters on October
23, 2009. Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro
Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers
created by a brilliant scientist named Dr. Tenma
(Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive "blue" energy,
Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is endowed with
super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed
and the ability to fly. Embarking on a journey
in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters
many other colorful characters along the way.
Through his adventures, he learns the joys and
emotions of being human, and gains the strength
to embrace his destiny. Ultimately learning
his friends and family are in danger, Astro
Boy marshals his awesome super powers and returns
to Metro City in a valiant effort to save everything
he cares about and to understand what it means
to be a hero.
