New Trailer for ‘Astro Boy’

Summit Entertainment has been teasing Astro Boy for quite some time now, and the trailer is officially here! First reaction: oh no. It looks like another horribly animated kids flick, and God knows we've had our fill of those lately (Delgo, Battle for Terra, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs). It stars Nicolas Cage, Charlize Theron, Kristen Bell, Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Nighy, Freddie Highmore, Donald Sutherland, Moises Arias and Eugene Levy. Then again, this might not be that bad. The director is David Bowers, who did Flushed Away in 2006, which I absolutely adored. Although Timothy Harris writes the screenplay, the guy who's responsible for Kindergarten Cop and Space Jam (don't think about it, don't think about it!). I don't know; it could actually be pretty good. Check out the so-and-so trailer below from Cinema Blend.

Astro Boy comes to theaters October 23^rd.
