If you saw Monsters vs. Aliens last week you were treated to the second teaser trailer for Astro Boy.
The trailer is now on the web and the CGI animation looks brilliant.
Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma (Nicolas Cage). Powered by positive "blue" energy, Astro Boy (Freddie Highmore) is endowed with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly.
Embarking on a journey in search of acceptance, Astro Boy encounters many other colorful characters along the way. Through his adventures, he learns the joys and emotions of being human, and gains the strength to embrace his destiny.
The script sounds like they are sticking to the overall recipe that is Astro Boy which is one part Pinocchio and one part Superman. The movie is set to release this fall on October 23rd.
