Astroboy Movie Trailer

The trailer looks good. It looks like Tezuka Productions is involved so I hope it won't suck. I wonder how much they will deviate from the manga or even the 80's anime?

Well you can bet Astro Boy is going to be older and he won't have the machine gun in his butt. Now with Nicholas Cage's involvement, is someone going to ask Astro Boy, "How'd it get burned?"

Well, they could always put his gun-arm from the last series. :)

Being as I am big fan of Astroboy, I will invariably see this. The thing is, I don't know what to expect. Will it just be a fun adventure movie? I'm fine with that, so long as it's well executed. On the other hand, Astroboy has always had some simple but mature themes using robots and how humans react to them as a medium. I'd like to see some of that explored. The best parts of the 2003 series were always the human/robot conflicts.

Just as long as it ends with a summary of the movie with one intentional mistake thrown in.
