It’s Astro Boy!

I’m not a fan of Astro Boy and I don’t know many people that actually are, but Hollywood has a history of jumping all over things with a built in fanbase and I guess this qualifies. ASTRO BOY, which will be released this summer, is going to be a CGI gong show directed by David Bowers and will feature a cast that includes Nicolas Cage, Bill Nighy, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, Eugene Levy, Matt Lucas, Kristen Bell and of course, the child star-du-jour Freddy Highmore as the titular character. The cast is obviously incredible, and to be honest, this Astro Boy guy is effing adorable. (For those of you not in the know, “effing” is short for “f***ing”).
