Astro Boy

I simply can't get very excited about David Bowers' upcoming animated adventure "Astro Boy." Maybe it's because the trailer kind of failed to win me over, or maybe it's because the whole robot boy story just doesn't catch my interest.

Anyway, some new stills (via SuperHeroHype) and a new poster (via Joblo) for the film popped up online today, and you can check them out above and below. The pic above is a shot from a battle scene during which Astro is forced to fight some of his robot enemies.

Brand-new 'Astro Boy' feature trailer hits

Astro Boy movie trailer

Yes, Astro has a bunch of machine guns sticking out of his butt. Check out the new feature trailer for David Bowers' upcoming animated adventure "Astro Boy" after the jump, and you will see what I mean.

Anyway, this new preview includes plenty of new footage from the upcoming film, and while it sure doesn't look fantastic, I admit it doesn't look that ugly either. As you can see, the trailer also reveals quite a lot about the movie's central plot.

"Astro Boy" is based on Osamu Tezuka's comic series that follows the adventures of a young robot created by a scientist to replace his late son. Some bad guy wants to use Astro for his evil plans, but our robotic hero tries everything in his power to maintain world peace.

Freddie Highmore, Nicholas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Bill Nighy, Eugene Levy and Nathan Lane are part of the film's voice cast. "Astro Boy" opens Oct. 23, 2009.

While I'm not incredibly excited about this project, I sure admit these photos look beautiful. They display clean animation and strong colors, and that's something already. Check out some more pics at Sci Fi Wire here.
