Behold: Astro Boy

After the box office failure of "Speed Racer" I'm hoping that wither the upcoming live action "Dragon Ball: Evolution" or animated "Astro Boy" will be a financial success, as I would like to see more anime films turned into live action movies. Sadly, while the movie may still be good, my first impression of "Astro Boy" is fairly weak. With a non-exciting image...

...with an even duller trailer...



...well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see on this one. Chances are it will turn in some profit due to the lack of movies choices next year due to the Writers Strike. I have to admit one thing though: For better or for worse, it looks EXACTLY like the comic books!

Coming October 23rd, 2009
