New astroboy movie

Post by ray245 »

Seems like we will be seeing a upcoming computer-animated 3-D film based on the Astro booy series.

Interesting...there were quite a few folks handing out teaser-posters for this at Otakon.
Is it just me, or did some of the bystanders look very distinctly Pixar-styled?

What the hell does 'very distinctly Pixar-styled' even mean?
What is Project Zohar?

Here's to a certain mostly harmless nutcase.

'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

I didn't remember the details so I looked it up- apparently the reason or its revential status is it is from 1952. How long has Japan had a robot fetish?

Will Astroboy have his ass machineguns? I am betting not.

There is a visual style to 'normal' human characters in Pixar movies; the bystander characters (but not the main characters) in the Astroboy trailer resemble that style, to my eye.

I don't have time to find a screenshot at the moment, I'll try to find one and post it after work.

One if the earlier trailers showed him spewing out hot lead from his ass, so I'm pretty sure it will be in there.

I grew up with this cartoon, I in fact have an Astroboy bag that I carry into work with me ... you can bet that makes me right popular!

Will be nice to see how they do with this re-imaging.
