Summit Entertainment has released the first trailer for IMAGI’s feature length Astro Boy CG animated film. For those who dont know IMAGI are the people who put out the recent TMNT film. The synopsis is as follows.
Astro Boy was created by the “god of manga”, Japan’s Osamu Tezuka, in the early 1950s. The iconic character has since found wide popularity around the world as the hero of three acclaimed animated television series spanning over four decades, besides being one of the top licensed properties for merchandising. Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist. Our hero embarks on a journey in search of adventure in a netherworld of robot gladiators before he returns to save Metro City.
